Sadler Hopes to Follow In Kahne's Wake of Success

In an attempt to follow in his teammate’s footsteps, Elliott Sadler is in an attempt to remedy his season.

 

Sadler is looking to traverse off of the momentum gained by his ninth place finish at Michigan, just his third Top-10 finish this season.

 

Pleased about his Michigan run, Sadler broadcasted, "That was something this entire team needed." "I needed to put together an entire race, the team needed to see its hard work in the shop pay off on the track and we needed to show that Gillett Evernham is getting better and better all around."

 

Sadler has experienced success at Infineon. He has placed inside the Top-10 in four of the past six races at the track, with a high finish of sixth place. Even with those statistics, Sadler claims that Infineon is one of the most intimidating races on the schedule.

 

"You get absolutely no breaks at that track. You are constantly thinking of what to do next, where and when to turn, what marks to hit and when to brake," Sadler said. "There are 12 turns there and you go from the left to right so many times all day it makes your head spin. You cannot have any mistakes through the turns or you end up off the course."
