With not a lot to smile about for the No. 19 Gillett Evernham Motorsports team in the 2008 season, Elliott Sadler seemed to have his act together when he recorded a 10th place finish at Kansas Speedway.

The team has found little success lately, accounting for an average finish of 30.8 over the the past five races.

“That’s a great day for us,” Sadler said. “We’ve been struggling the last month.”

After testing at Lowe's Motor Speedway, Sadler stated that the team learned a lot about their car.

“I’m proud of my guys at the race shop,” Sadler said. “They burned the midnight oil on Tuesday night. They stayed late and the truck left late to get all the stuff done so that we could be competitive here this weekend. To qualify fourth and get a top-10 finish is a really good day for this team.”
