About Elliott Sadler

Elliott Sadler’s success in NASCAR’s® premiere series is no surprise to those who knew him during his youth in his hometown of Emporia, Virginia. Climbing behind the wheel of his first go-kart at age seven, Sadler captured more than 200 victories before moving into the Late-Model Stock car division and adding several series championships to his resume. At the age of 18, Sadler joined the ranks of the weekly racing series clinching a track championship title at South Boston Speedway in 1995.

2004 proved to be a breakout season for the Virginia native surprising many in the NASCAR® garage but few in Sadler’s circle. Sadler struck early at the season opening event at Daytona International Speedway by winning the outside pole for the prestigious Daytona 500. Later in the Speedweeks session, Sadler took the checkered flag for a win in the Gatorade Twin 125 qualifying event marking primary sponsor, M&M’S, first ever trip to Victory Lane. Throughout the season Sadler and the M&M’S Team saw more of the same success with an emotional win at Texas Motor Speedway. Later in the season Sadler scored his third career victory at California Speedway clinching a position in the inaugural NASCAR® Nextel Cup Chase for the Championship. Sadler was one of four drivers to stay in the top 10 in the point standings the entire season and rounded out the year with two wins, eight top-five and 14 top-10 finishes, finishing a respectable ninth in the championship standings.

After three and a half seasons with RYR, Sadler made the move to Evernham Motorsports in August of 2006. In order to go ahead and begin to build momentum for the 2007 season and beyond, Sadler took the wheel of the No. 19 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge Charger at Michigan and will finish out the 2006 season at his new home at Evernham Motorsports.

His first outing driving for Ray Evernham and Dodge, UAW, Dodge Dealers, Valvoline, Stanley and all of the partners of the Evernham Motorsports team proved eventful. Sadler qualified his Dodge on the outside pole and brought it home in the 10th position, the first top-10 finish for the car this year. This gave Evernham partners and fans just a glimpse of what the future holds for Elliott Sadler and his No. 19 Dodge team.
