Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 13, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (the "Company"), upon recommendation of the Board's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, appointed John F. Ferraro to become a director of the Company, to be effective February 10, 2015, subsequent to his retirement from Ernst & Young (EY). Mr. Ferraro's compensation for his services as a non-employee director will be consistent with the Company's compensation practices for non-employee directors described in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2014, under the caption "Director Compensation."

Mr. Ferraro currently serves as EY’s Global Chief Operating Officer. He joined EY in 1976 and has been a partner for 26 years, holding various positions of senior responsibility including Global Vice Chair Audit. In addition, Mr. Ferraro has served as a member of EY’s Global Executive board for more than 10 years.
 
During fiscal year 2014, the Company expects to pay Ernst & Young LLP, the U. S. member firm of EY, approximately $500,000 in integration and accounting-related fees. Mr. Ferraro, upon becoming a director of the Company in February 2015, will serve as a director until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified. Mr. Ferraro has not been named to serve on any of the Board's committees at this time.
