FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
TONY STEWART TO KICK OFF '09 WITH HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS TWO-TIME CUP CHAMPION TO DRIVE NATIONWIDE RACE AT DAYTONA

CONCORD, N.C. (Jan. 15, 2009) - Two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart will attempt to qualify a No. 80 HendrickCars.com Chevrolet prepared by Hendrick Motorsports for the Feb. 14 Nationwide Series race at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. Stewart, the defending winner of the Camping World 300, has won the season-opening event three times -- twice with owner Kevin Harvick (2005 and 2006) and once with Joe Gibbs (2008). Should he qualify, the race will mark Stewart's first-ever start for car owner Rick Hendrick. The effort will be led by 2003 Nationwide Series champion crew chief Lance McGrew. "After winning the season-opening Nationwide Series race at Daytona three times, we're going to try and get another one, this time for Rick," said Stewart, who has seven career Nationwide Series victories. "Hopefully we can go back-to-back for a second time and put the HendrickCars.com Chevrolet in Victory Lane. Rick and I have been friends for years, so it would mean a lot to me to get a win for him."

As a car owner, Hendrick has 13 total NASCAR victories at Daytona, including three in the
Nationwide Series. He has won the prestigious Daytona 500 six times. "Tony is one of the best drivers in the world,” Hendrick said. “We know how terrific he is at Daytona, so I told the guys to build him a fast car and let him do what he does best. He's a great friend, and it's going to be fun to see him drive for Hendrick Motorsports for the first time." The best and quickest way to purchase a car online, HendrickCars.com features more than $90 million in used-car inventory and the largest selection of manufacturer-certified vehicles in the nation.

It's become a premier destination for online car buying, and we're committed to making it a world-class experience for our customers."

Know your Acura down memory lane

2008-11-26T02:38:00.000-08:00

The history of Acura which stretches to a little over two decades is as exciting as its cars. The upscale Acura brand was introduced by the parent company Honda in 1986 to create a separate luxury division for its cars in the US market. Acura began with just two cars – the Legend sedan and the Integra sport coupe and sedan. Honda's reputation for reliability along with the luxurious features and performance offered by Acura cars contributed to their quick popularity.

In 1991, Acura launched the all-aluminum NSX sports car which undercut that generation's top-selling cars with its performance and price. The new millennium saw the introduction of the MDX SUV in 2001. The successor to the Integra, the RSX sport coupe rolled out the next year. In 2004, the TSX made its entry and was followed by a complete redesign of the TL sedan. In 2005, the flagship RL luxury sedan received a makeover.

Being the number 1 volume Acura dealership, Acura of Pleasanton stocks all the latest Acura cars available in the auto market such as the MDX, RDX, RL, TL and TSX. We serve customers in San Francisco and the Bay Area. For information about any Acura vehicle, contact Acura of Pleasanton showroom in Pleasanton, CA or check out
