WITH ITS CAMO PAINT SCHEME AARON’S PROVES GOOD THINGS ALWAYS COME IN THREE’S


ATLANTA, GA (November 5, 2009) – For the third and final time in 2009, Aaron’s, Inc. of Atlanta, GA (NYSE: AAN), the Aaron’s Outdoors television program and Mossy Oak Brand Camouflage will bring a special camouflage paint scheme to the track. On Saturday Nov. 7, the No. 99 Aaron’s Dream Machine will be transformed into the Aaron’s Outdoors Mossy Oak Camry for the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) O'Reilly Challenge at Texas Motor Speedway.

NNS rookie sensation Trevor Bayne will pilot a Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota Camry sporting the Aaron’s Outdoors logo and Mossy Oak Brush pattern, following in the footsteps of David Reutimann and Ken Butler III who drove camo-colored Aaron’s Dream Machines earlier this season at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Lowe’s Motor Speedway, respectively.

As part of the promotion, Aaron’s has given away six of nine camouflage replica helmets bearing the signatures of Bayne, Reutimann and Butler. With the final running of the camo design, the final three helmets will be award to fans through a national register-to-win sweepstakes. Fans have the chance to be a part of this final drawing by visiting www.shopaarons.com/camocontest. Registration ends on Nov. 4. An independent judging organization will choose three lucky winners from the thousands of fans who have registered.

Aaron’s has had ownership in the Aaron’s Outdoor television program since 2007 and this campaign will promote the partnership of the Aaron’s Outdoors, Aaron’s motorsports teams and Mossy Oak Brand Camo. It is designed to appeal to avid and casual outdoorsmen and NASCAR fans.

The specialized racecars and helmet sweepstakes will be promoted through a combination of television, radio and print advertising along with a comprehensive Internet program all designed to drive fans to learn more about Aaron’s and Aaron’s Outdoors.

“The first two Aaron’s Outdoors Mossy Oak paint schemes have been very successful,” noted Aaron’s Chief Executive Officer, Robin Loudermilk. “NASCAR fans as well as fans of outdoors sports have really responded to the coming together of two of our biggest marketing platforms. We’re really excited to now bring this campaign from the Southeast into Texas.”

Trevor Bayne was also enthusiastic when discussing the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the camo Aaron’s Dream Machine. “To be a part of a program like this with Aaron’s, Mossy Oak and Aaron’s Outdoors is unbelievable,” Bayne said. “I can’t thank them enough for letting me help promote this great partnership. I look forward to bringing home an excellent finish in the Aaron’s Outdoors Mossy Oak Dream Machine on Saturday.”

“Seeing the Aaron’s Outdoors logo on the racecar with the Mossy Oak pattern is something I would never have dreamed of,” said Jarrod Brannen, host of Aaron’s Outdoors. “Aaron’s involvement has taken this show to a completely new level and it makes me proud to be associated with a corporation of this caliber.”
