  Shuler for Congress Sponsoring Busch Series Car for Dollar General 300 
  #23 Heath Shuler for Congress Chevrolet to Appear this Friday in Charlotte
   
  Asheville, NC – Heath Shuler, candidate for Congress in North Carolina’s 11th District, has announced his campaign will be sponsoring the #23 Chevrolet in Friday’s Busch Series race at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte.
   
  “Racing is a big part of who we are here in the mountains. I have been a NASCAR fan since I was young and am very excited about this opportunity to reach out to voters in a less traditional method,” said Shuler. “I am looking forward to working with Keith Coleman Racing and Brad Keselowski, and watching the #23 Chevrolet under the lights on Friday night.” 
   
  The #23 Chevrolet is owned by Keith Coleman Racing and will be driven by Brad Keselowski. 
   
  Keselowski has made 37 career starts over the past three years in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. The 22-year old Michigan native has been in racing for over 10 years.
   
   "It's great to have Heath on board," said Keselowski. "I remember watching him play in the NFL while I was growing up, and it is going to be a real honor to drive for him in the #23 Heath Shuler for Congress Chevrolet on Friday night."
   
  The Lowe’s Motor Speedway is a 1.5 mile quad-oval.
