No. 5 Mark Martin Hendrickcars.com Helmet Sweepstakes – Enter Before August 4, 2010
Hendrickcars.com and Hendrick Motorsports have teamed up to provide one lucky winner one of the best looking helmets in the series. But you have to hurry; the Sweepstakes ends August 4, 2010.
Visit Hendrickcars.com to submit a sweepstakes entry. One lucky winner will receive the replica helmet signed by Mark Martin.
Martin’s 32 top-10 finishes and 38 lead-lap finishes at Pocono are the most for the NASCAR veteran at any racetrack. Meanwhile his 19 top-five finishes rank second — just behind the 22 he has recorded at Dover.

Diesel engine maintenance is changing for 2011!
In 2010, all diesel engine manufacturers must meet very stringent new EPA emmissions standards. Most every diesel will incorporate a new diesel emmissions fluid (DEF) tank which wil add the requirement of keeping this extra cost maintenance fluid’s level at a required volume or the engine performace could be reduced. If it gets low enough, the system will not let the truck go over 4 mph!
2011 desel engine production starts the end of May and the new emmissions will require the addition of a new diesel emmissions fluid (DEF) tank. This fluid will be injected into the exhaust system to reduce emmissions.
Rick Hendrick Commercial sales has procured a substantial allotment of new 2009 and 2010 Silverado one ton chassis cabs with current emmission Duramax diesel engines that will require the added maintenance or have the 2011 model year price increase. Now is the time to get your diesel truck at a great price savings.Call our Commercial sales department today at 866-566-5193 or email mike.stubbs@hendrickauto.com or visit usonline at www.hendrickatlanta.com .
We have a Winner!
Congratulations to Todd Perry!
Todd is the lucky winner of our Buford High School Football Wolves Camaro Raffle. Raffle tickets were sold at $100 apiece and at the October 30th home game, Todd’s ticket made him the proud new owner of a “brand new” 2010 Camaro SS. Todd will get to order the car in the color of his choice.
Todd is pictured with Ryan Regnier, the general manager of our Buford location. Again our congratulations to Todd and everyone who helped us support the Buford Wolves football prgram.
Tom Cruise to narrate Hendrick Motorsports film
Tom Cruise and Rick Hendrick
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Tom Cruise will narrate an upcoming documentary about the history of Hendrick Motorsports.
“TOGETHER: The Hendrick Motorsports Story” will air Oct. 11 on ABC before the network begins its coverage of the Sprint Cup Series race at California. Cruise will narrate during never-before-seen footage and family photographs that chronicle Rick Hendrick’s 25 years in NASCAR.
The actor became friendly with Hendrick when the car owner did some consulting for Cruise’s racing film “Days of Thunder.” Cruise and his family have been periodic guests of Hendrick at races the past several years, and the actor sat at an HMS table during last year’s championship celebration.
Our Energizer Bunny.. he keeps going, and going!
Powell and his wife Carol on a recent river adventure.
You don’t work at Hendrick Chevrolet and not know Powell Hassell. Powell is our inventory control, dealer trade, rebate and incenttive, and whatever else person he needs to be around the store. Most people in their 70’s are relaxing at home and not still working a full time job. Not Powell! Not only is he at the store before we get there and usually there late, Powell and his wife Carol are very active partners in a variety of outside activities and adventures. One such activity is taking personal watercraft tours on jet skis along scenic waterways and byways. Powell and Carol have hooked up with friends at pwctours.com to explore some beautiful scenery along rivers such as the Cape Fear, Suvannah, and Cumberland from a different perspective. Powell was voted the dealership’s Employee of the Year, by our employees, for 2008 and he is most deserving. Powell is proof that your age doesn’t keep you from enjoying life to the fullest.
Hugs for Soldiers
Angie tells us about the program. Our employees contributed to the cause.
Rick Hendrick Chevrolet is proud to partner with Hugs for Soldiers, a local non profit organization sponsored by Duluth First United Methodist Church, whose mission is to collect and send our troops in Afganistan packages containing shampoo, toothpaste, gum, candy, batteries, books, and a lot of things we take for granted. In Afganistan, there are no base exchanges, no stores or supply outlets for our men and women to obtain these items. Hugs for Soldiers works diligently to pack and ship these items, along with cards and letters of support, to these brave men and women. Angie Doerlich started Hugs for Soldiers in 2003 and came to speak and thank our employees for their support. We appreciate the job that Angie and her staff do for our service personnel and encourage everyone to donate to this very worthwhile cause. Their web site is www.hugsforsoldiers.org .

Rick Hendrick Chevrolet’s success is built around great people.
Dave speaks to the crowd as Hannah Martin looks on.
At Rick Hendrick Chevrolet, the foundation of our success is clearly our employees. Our employees pride themselves on doing the right thing, not only by our customers, but our fellow employees as well. This was all too evident at our monthly dealership employee luncheon on the June 19, 2009. As part of our monthly luncheon, a few lucky employees get to spin a prize wheel for a cash prize. Landing on the one spot on the wheel which paid a top prize of $2,000 is a very rare occurence. Our service employee, Dave Walker, after hitting the big payout spot on the wheel, asked Hannah Martin, who is an expecting single mother, to come up beside him. Dave then surprised not just Hannah, but everyone in attendance when he asked our office manager to take the money and split it among the single moms at the dealership. Of course we all gave Dave a round of applause for his generosity. Dave is a great example of our employee family. Thanks Dave!
