Sorenson on returning to Nashville:

“I love racing at Nashville Superspeedway.  We had a great car here in April and I’ve been counting down to coming back.  I think we have a great chance to put the Dollar General Toyota into victory lane this weekend.  To do it at the track where I got my first win would be very special.  Not only would I love to add a second guitar to my collection, but it would be just fantastic to get Dollar General a win at their home track.  They are a great sponsor to work with and I know they have a lot of employees and vendor guests that will be at the track this weekend.  I am ready to show them how proud I am to drive the Dollar General car! ”
