Elliott Sadler staying with Gillett Evernham Motorsports
Elliott Sadler, driver of the No. 19 Dodge for Gillett Evernham Motorsports, signed a multiyear contract extension with the team. The length of the contract was not disclosed.
"This is the place where I want to race," Sadler said. "I think what we are building here is special and something other drivers and crew members envy."
The 33-year-old Sadler joined Gillett Evernham Motorsports in 2006 and has not won a race with the team since then. He has won three Cup races in his carrer, the most recent coming in 2004 at what was then California Speedway for Robert Yates Racing. He was also in the Chase that year.
His teammate, Kasey Kahne, won the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday and the NASCAR Sprint All-Star race the previous weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
"Elliott is a well respected driver who has the skills, both on and off the track, to succeed in NASCAR," said CEO Tom Reddin. "In addition to being a great Sprint Cup driver, Elliott has a wonderful personality that attracts fans and sponsors who love working with him. We have enjoyed working with Elliott over the last year and a half and look forward to continuing our relationship."
