Posted (03/09/2009) - For the 5th straight season, Team Sahlen will campaign the ROLEX Grand American Series in the GT class. The familiar red, black and yellow paint scheme that fans have grown oh so familiar with be continue to be emblazoned with the Sahlen flag. For the 2005 and 2006 Seasons Team Sahlen campaigned Porsche GT3 Cup race cars. Since 2007, the race car of choice has been the Chevrolet Corvette Z-O6. Drivers will be the father & son duo of Joe & Wayne Nonnamaker in car #43, plus Joe Sahlen & Will Nonnamaker paired up in the #42 racer. "Everyone at Team Sahlen is very excited about our third year with the TheRaceSite.com Corvettes for 2009. I have loved Corvettes since I was a kid. Knowing that all the Corvette fans at the track will be pulling for us each weekend makes this even more thrilling. We have made significant changes to the Corvettes since the start of last year. So many changes that except for the body, the cars are hardly the same. We are all sincerely committed to getting the Team Sahlen Corvettes to the front of the GT field." - commented Joe Nonnamaker "Sahlen's continues to support the ROLEX Grand American Series. The series saw remarkable growth in 2007 & 2008. With the new parternship with NASACAR, the future appears very bright and we are proud to be a part of that growth. Beyond our ROLEX campaign, Team Sahlen will also be campaigning 1 to 2 Mazdas in the KONI Challenge Series Street Tuner class. Additionally, we will continue with our partnership as presenter of the Grand American's Paddock Club Hospitality Suite, and sponsoring the Sahlen 6 Hours at the Glen." - added Joe Sahlen Sahlen Packing, Co., Inc. is based out of Buffalo, New York a short drive from where the company first stepped into Grand American Road Racing. In 2003, the premium and quality meat producer sponsored the Sahlen's Six Hour held at Watkins Glen International. Sahlen's also feeds the ever-hungry crew members and drivers that participate each weekend in Grand American Road Racing events. Grand American participants find the "Sahlen's Paddock Club" a comfortable setting for a warm meal during the hectic race weekends. Over the years Sahlen's has discovered what it takes to be the premier hot dog of western New York, and a favorite of hot dog lovers across the country. Opening as a family owned company in 1869, Sahlen's remains family owned to this day.
