Aaron's to sponsor Pierre Bourque in three NASCAR Canadian Tire Series
races in 2009

OTTAWA, ONTARIO (June 11, 2009) - Canadian stock car racer Pierre
Bourque is proud to announce that Aaron's will be the primary sponsor on
his No. 29 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series car for three events in 2009,
starting with this Sunday's road course race at the legendary Mosport
International Raceway road course. Aaron's will also be the primary
sponsor of Bourque's Whitlock Motorsports-owned NASCAR at the Edmonton
Indy (July 24-25) and at the inaugural NASCAR race at Saskatoon's Auto
Clearing Motor Speedway on July 29.

"I'm excited and honoured that Aaron's has chosen to make its debut in
the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series on my No. 29 Dodge," said Bourque, who
lives in Ottawa, Ontario. "NASCAR fans are familiar with Aaron's
impressive presence in the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series
through its sponsorship of Michael Waltrip Racing's driver David
Reutimann and of high-profile events like the Aaron's 499 at Talladega
Superspeedway. Aaron's has a fast-growing network of stores throughout
Canada and I'm looking forward to helping to introduce Canadian racing
fans to their outstanding range of products and services."

Ken Butler, the Chief Operating Officer of Aaron's, Inc. said, "We are
pleased to partner with Pierre and Whitlock Motorsports as Aaron's
extends its reach in North America. Motorsports has been a very
important piece of our marketing arsenal in the U.S. over the years and
we look forward to utilizing Pierre's determination and talent both on
and off the racetrack as we expand our brand awareness in Canada."

Sunday's race at Mosport Int'l Raceway is the third of 13 NASCAR
Canadian Tire Series races on the 2009 schedule. Bourque's team owner
Dave Whitlock won the season opener on May 23 at Montreal's Autodrome
St-Eustache. Bourque continued, "I'm really looking forward to flying
Aaron's colours this season. Whitlock Motorsports is truly on top of its
game this season - as evidenced by Dave's win in Montreal and Mark
Dilley's pole in the second race, last weekend at London's Delaware
Speedway."
