Devin Cutting sent this in: TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION (TNA) WRESTLING TO SPONSOR DRIVER HERMIE SADLER THIS SATURDAY IN NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES RACE TNA PERSONALITY AND SPEED ANALYST SADLER WILL DRIVE SPECIAL TNA WRESTLING TRUCK IN THE KROGER 250 AT MARTINSVILLE SPEEDWAY Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling will partner with longtime TNA personality and NASCAR analyst Hermie Sadler as the primary sponsor for Sadler's entry in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Kroger 250 at 2 p.m. ET Saturday on FOX at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia. Sadler, the 1993 NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year and current analyst for SPEED, will enter the first of three scheduled races he plans to drive this year. Sadler previously drove the TNA Wrestling truck at Martinsville in 2008. "I am really looking forward to getting back on the track this weekend at Martinsville. There's no pressure as far as points this time, just to go out there, race hard, and hopefully get a good finish," Sadler said. TNA has teamed up with Sadler on multiple occasions, including in 2008 when Sadler welcomed NASCAR drivers Juan Pablo Montoya and Reed Sorensen to the "iMPACT Zone" at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida to appear on "TNA iMPACT" on Spike (Thursdays 9 p.m. ET/PT). "TNA has long enjoyed a great partnership with Hermie and the NASCAR community, and serving as a primary sponsor in the truck series is a great way to show our support to the racing community and it's fans, who are part of the extended TNA family," TNA President Dixie Carter said.
TNA's website has an article up (photo included) featuring Kurt Angle and Brother Ray on the cover of the new "Wrestler" magazine.
