Elliott William Barnes Sadler (born April 30, 1975) is an American former professional stock car racing driver. He last competed part-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, driving the No. 10 Chevrolet Camaro for Kaulig Racing.

A native of Emporia, Virginia, he is the younger brother of former NASCAR driver Hermie Sadler.[http://www.racing-reference.info/driver?id=sadleel01 Elliott Sadler Career Statistics]
Racing career
=Early racing career=
Sadler began racing in go-karts at the age of seven, and moved up to the Late Model stock car division at the local race track. His accomplishments include over 200 total wins, the 1983–84 Virginia State Karting Championship, and the North Carolina Gold Cup in 1991–92. When he turned 18, he moved to the Winston Racing Series and ran full-time beginning in 1993. That same year, he achieved his first victory. In 1995, he was crowned track champion at South Boston Speedway, winning 13 races including a 6-race winning streak.
Despite finding success in late model racing, Sadler was having a hard time catching the eye of NASCAR team owners. He sold all of his racing equipment to buy a Busch Series car, and ran some races as an independent in 1995 and early 1996. A race at Hickory Motor Speedway in early 1996 formed a connection between Sadler and Diamond Ridge Motorsports, the team he would drive for in late 1996 and all of 1997 and 1998 in the Busch Series.{{cite web |title=NASCAR on NBC podcast Episode 165: Elliott Sadler |url=https://art19.com/shows/nascar-on-nbc-podcast/episodes/2b0d10a0-c9f5-403b-a40d-6904bee51f69 |website=Art19 |access-date=5 December 2018 |archive-date=December 6, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181206001838/https://art19.com/shows/nascar-on-nbc-podcast/episodes/2b0d10a0-c9f5-403b-a40d-6904bee51f69 |url-status=dead }}

Sadler moved up to the Cup Series full-time in 1999, driving the No. 21 Ford Taurus for Wood Brothers Racing. His best finish that year was 10th at Texas Motor Speedway, and he finished 24th in points, runner-up to Tony Stewart for Rookie of the Year honors. He also returned to the Busch Series on a part-time basis, filling in for the injured Andy Santerre for Innovative Motorsports, his best finish being 5th at California Speedway. He also drove a handful of races for Lyndon Amick. Sadler's only Top 10 finish in 2000 was 7th at Bristol, after failing to qualify at Talladega Superspeedway, and he dropped to 29th in points.
The season also featured a chaotic crash at Michigan during practice that saw the car take flight after blowing a tire going into turn one, barrel rolling several times before coming to a rest on its wheels. Sadler recounted the story on The Dale Jr. Download in 2024, stating that the car flipped so high that it exceeded the height of the catchfence, which he attributed to a flare in the quarter panel created by the exploded tire that created lift as the car spun. He elaborated that the footage of the crash has only been seen sparingly since then because NASCAR has redacted the external camera video as to not fully reveal the nature of the incident.{{Cite web |title=The Dale Jr. Download |url=https://www.dirtymomedia.com/dalejrdownload/episode/46c88725/564-elliott-and-hermie-sadler-virginia-is-for-brothers |access-date=2024-08-02 |website=Dirty Mo Media |language=en}}
In 2001, Sadler won his first Cup race at Bristol, making this the first win for Wood Brothers in eight years.{{cite web|last=Caraviello|first=David|url=http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2014/3/12/top-10-spring-battles-at-bristol-sprint-cup-nationwide.html|title=TOP 10 SPRING BATTLES AT BRISTOL|publisher=NASCAR|date=March 12, 2014|access-date=March 13, 2014|archive-date=October 26, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171026055612/https://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2014/3/12/top-10-spring-battles-at-bristol-sprint-cup-nationwide.html|url-status=dead}} He had another Top 10 run in Daytona later that year, finishing 3rd. After a run riddled with inconsistent finishes, he ended the season 20th in points. With seven Top 10's and a fall to 23rd in points in 2002, Sadler left for Robert Yates Racing to drive the No. 38 M&M's Ford, replacing Ricky Rudd.

In 2003, his first season of competition with Robert Yates, Sadler won the pole at both Darlington Raceway and Talladega Superspeedway and finished 22nd in points. That fall, he had a vicious crash at Talladega after near-contact with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and touched the right-front fender of Kurt Busch. His car flew into the air, flipped twice, landed on his roof, spun towards the banking, and flipped six times. Sadler emerged uninjured (although he was airlifted to a local hospital for precautionary reasons).
Sadler started the 2004 season with a Top 10 finish in the Daytona 500 and six races later, he won at Texas Motor Speedway for his second career win. He stayed in the Top 10 in points all season and won at California Speedway, beating Kasey Kahne and Mark Martin. He made the Chase and finished a career-high 9th in the championship points standings. He had another flip-crash at Talladega on the final lap after he spun out and blew over onto his roof and landed on all four wheels and crossed the finish line in 22nd just in front of his brother, Hermie. Sadler also was uninjured in that crash, and he was even able to drive his car back to the garage.
Sadler failed to win a race again in the 2005 season; however, he did clinch four poles and finished 13th in the points standings. He also made 16 starts for Robert Yates in the Busch Series, driving the No. 90 Taurus, and had three Top 5 finishes. In 2006, Sadler won the pole at Talladega and finished 22nd in points. He made seven starts in the Busch Series and his best finish was second at Richmond. After a lack of results, he left RYR midway through 2006 for Gillett Evernham Motorsports.

Before the start of the 2007 Daytona 500, Sadler's team was among many others who faced disciplinary action for rule-infractions. Despite being docked 25 points, he still went on to score a season-best 6th-place finish. Sadler had many ups and downs throughout the season. In 2007, Sadler led 62 laps, posted two Top 10 finishes and finished 25th in points. Sadler had the longest streak without a DNF than any other driver before failing to finish a race in 2007.
Sadler struggled in 2008, garnering only two Top 5's, eight Top 10's, and 16 Top 20's. He had four DNF's and 12 finishes of 30th or worse. Sadler led 21 laps in 2008, his fewest since the 2000 season. He ended the year 24th in the points standings. In December 2008, it was reported that A. J. Allmendinger would replace Sadler in the No. 19 Best Buy Dodge for Gillett Evernham Motorsports in 2009.{{cite web|url=http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/8994710/Allmendinger-tabbed-to-drive-No.-19-for-GEM|title=Allmendinger tabbed to drive No. 19 for GEM|work=Foxsports.com|publisher=Fox Sports Interactive Media|last=Spencer|first=Lee|date=December 31, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090415120606/http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/8994710/Allmendinger-tabbed-to-drive-No.-19-for-GEM|archive-date=April 15, 2009}} Sadler threatened a lawsuit for breach of contract; however, the lawsuit was dropped after the GEM – Petty Enterprises merger and he returned to the ride for 2009.
After all of the offseason issues, Sadler found himself in the No. 19 Stanley Tools Dodge for Richard Petty Motorsports in the 2009 Sprint Cup Series season. In the 2009 Daytona 500, Sadler took the lead on lap 123 and stayed in the lead for the final stages in the race. On the last green flag lap Sadler got passed by Matt Kenseth and seconds later the caution came out. Kenseth wound up winning while Sadler came up in 5th. Sadler ended the year 26th in points.

In 2010, Sadler returned to RPM to drive the No. 19 Ford with sponsorship from Stanley, Best Buy, and the United States Air Force. During the year, however, Sadler announced that he would be leaving the team after the 2010 season. He ran a part-time schedule in the Camping World Truck Series in the No. 2 Hunt Brothers Pizza Chevrolet Silverado for Kevin Harvick Incorporated.{{Cite web |url=http://jayski.com/cts/archive/2010feb-cts.htm#020210-sadler |title=Hunt Brothers Pizza to sponsor Sadler in Cup & NCWTS |access-date=January 30, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160125225517/http://www.jayski.com/cts/archive/2010feb-cts.htm#020210-sadler |archive-date=January 25, 2016 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }} In this ride, Sadler won his first NASCAR race in six years at Pocono in the Pocono Mountains 125 in July. Sadler also made a one-off start for JR Motorsports in the No. 88 Chevrolet at the Dover 200 Nationwide Series event, finishing 31st after being involved in an accident during the early stages of the race.{{cite web |url=http://nationwide.nascar.com/nationwide-series/races/2010/results-official/28/ |title=Official Results | NASCAR Nationwide Series |website=nationwide.nascar.com |access-date=11 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110907032839/http://nationwide.nascar.com/nationwide-series/races/2010/results-official/28/ |archive-date=7 September 2011 |url-status=dead}}
The next day, Sadler was involved in a wreck where he hit the inside fence (a blind spot on the track, not well-recorded by video cameras) after being hit from behind by A. J. Allmendinger. Kurt Busch was hit from behind by Jimmie Johnson causing him to spin into Clint Bowyer who received little damage but still finished 12th. The wreck was so horrific it threw the engine away from the car and caused the race to be red-flagged for 25 minutes to clean up the wreck. There were several reports by fans that his car flew through the air. With a grimace on his face, he climbed out of the car and laid down on the track. He was taken to the medical facility where he later emerged and gave an interview to on hand media personnel. He said he was fine & was a little sore, but had the breath knocked out of him and had taken "the hardest hit of his career" at Pocono. He was proud of his team back home that had built a safe car and of the pit crew and of all of the hard work they had put into the race thus far. On August 3, Sadler announced on NASCAR Now that NASCAR told him it was the hardest head-on crash ever recorded in NASCAR history. On November 5, 2010, Sadler won the pole for the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway qualifying at 195.397, the fastest qualifying speed since 1999.

In late-2010, Sadler was at a crossroads in his career. He admitted in an interview that he wasn't enjoying the sport any longer. He had gone winless for 6 seasons, and was making no progress in his efforts to winning a championship. By the persuasion of former teammate Dale Jarrett, Sadler stepped down from the Cup Series to try to make a living in the lower-divisions.
On November 5, 2010. Sadler announced a two-year deal to drive the No. 2 OneMain Financial Chevrolet for Kevin Harvick Inc. in the Nationwide Series and also will drive a selected number of races in the Camping World Truck Series. Sadler took the championship points lead in the Nationwide Series after the 11th race in the 2011 season. He ended up finishing second in points with 24 Top 10 finishes in 34 events.{{cite web|title=2011 Nationwide Standings|url=http://racing-reference.info/yeardet/2011/B|publisher=Racing Reference|access-date=November 24, 2011}}
At the end of the 2011 season, KHI's Nationwide Series operations were absorbed by Richard Childress Racing and Sadler moved to RCR for 2012, remaining in the No. 2. In addition, Sadler ran in the 2012 Daytona 500 for RCR in the No. 33 Chevrolet,.{{cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/news/120125/richard-childress-racing-to-run-no-33-five-races-esadler-bgaughan/index.html|title=RCR will run No. 33 in first five races of 2012|last=Caraviello|first=David|date=January 25, 2012|publisher=NASCAR.com|access-date=January 26, 2012}}

On March 17, Sadler won at Bristol, making it the first year since the mid-1990s that the first four NNS races have been won by non-Sprint Cup drivers. It also had Sadler winning two of the first four races of the season.
On July 22, Sadler held off hard charging Ricky Stenhouse Jr. at Chicagoland Speedway to collect his third win of the season, and held on to his point lead over Stenhouse and Austin Dillon.
Sadler got black flagged after supposedly jumping the restart at the inaugural Indiana 250. Elliott's point lead vanished nearly after the black flag. The week after he dominated the U.S. Cellular 250 at Iowa en route to his fourth win of the year. Heading into Phoenix, Sadler was once again caught up in a late crash, which ended his championship hopes. He would finish 2nd in points again to Stenhouse. He would later announce his move to Joe Gibbs Racing for 2013, taking OneMain Financial with him.{{cite web|last=Cain|first=Holly|url=http://www.nationwide.nascar.com/nationwide-series/news/121120/esadler-signs-joe-gibbs-racing/index.html|title=Sadler signs with Joe Gibbs Racing for 2013|publisher=NASCAR|date=November 20, 2012|access-date=December 15, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121209023230/http://www.nationwide.nascar.com/nationwide-series/news/121120/esadler-signs-joe-gibbs-racing/index.html|archive-date=December 9, 2012|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}

In addition to running the full Nationwide Series schedule for Joe Gibbs Racing, Sadler announced in March that he would be competing in three Sprint Cup Series events for the team, driving the No. 81 Toyota.{{cite web|url=http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/04/05/2804523/nascar-launches-green-initiative.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130630000830/http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/04/05/2804523/nascar-launches-green-initiative.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 30, 2013 |title=NASCAR launches green initiative |last=Utter |first=Jim |date=April 5, 2013 |work=The News & Observer |access-date=April 9, 2013 |location=Raleigh, NC }} Sadler ran one race with Alert Energy before it and other Caffeine gums were pulled from the market. He attempted Talladega with Doublemint but failed to qualify due to rain and not entered in fall race with no reasons.
At Loudon in 2013, Sadler was running in the Top 10 with 10 laps left in the race. With six laps to go, Sadler pulled a block on Regan Smith. The two drivers got contact that sent Sadler around into the grasses. After the race ended, Sadler and Smith argued on pit road with Sadler vowing to Smith that "you will not win this championship mark my words.". Although Smith apologized, their rivalry was renewed during the inaugural race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course a few weeks later, when Smith passed Sadler for a spot through contact. When Sadler was running behind Smith a few laps later, Sadler retaliated, sending Smith into a crash collecting Ron Fellows.{{cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2013/08/17/nascar-mid-ohio-debut-cautions-and-tempers.html|title=At Mid-Ohio debut, cautions, tempers abound|last=Albert|first=Zack|date=August 17, 2013|publisher=NASCAR.com|access-date=August 18, 2013}} After medical issues forced Brian Vickers to sit out the end of the 2013 racing season, Sadler was named to drive the No. 55 MWR for the final four Sprint Cup races of 2013.{{cite web|url=http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/michael-waltrip-racing-considering-elliott-sadler-to-fill-in-for-brian-vickers-101613|title=Sadler set to sub for Vickers|last=Spencer|first=Lee|date=October 17, 2013|work=Fox Sports|access-date=October 17, 2013}}

Sadler started out his season with a few Top 10s. Sadler ultimately broke through at the Sparks Energy 300 at Talladega. On the final lap, it looked like Sadler was set to being the runner-up. Sadler battled Joey Logano on the final lap. When Logano blocked, he spun out from contact from Elliott. Elliott dipped below the yellow line to avoid a spinning Joey. Brennan Poole passed Sadler for the lead just as a caution came out. After a 5-minute delay, with both drivers, Poole and Sadler, waiting on the front-stretch for NASCAR's word, NASCAR ultimately determined that Sadler had been ahead at the moment of caution, dropping Poole to 3rd, and elevating Sadler to the win. The finish was a 1–2 finish for JR Motorsports with Sadler winning and teammate Justin Allgaier finishing second.
Sadler would return to Victory lane at Darlington in the VFW Sport Clips Help A Hero 200, beating out Denny Hamlin. The two wins would automatically lock Sadler in the inaugural Xfinity Chase. Sadler was one of three drivers starting the chase with wins. In round one, Sadler won the race at Kentucky. Sadler, with a few more top tens, moved on to the championship four at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Sadler went on to score a 2nd-place finish in the championship for the third time in his career.

As one of the two fastest non-chartered cars in qualifying, he was able to lock himself into the race before the Can-Am Duels. He ended up qualifying for the next 2 plate races at Talladega in May and then Daytona in July and was going to drive in the Coca-Cola 600, but gave the ride to J. J. Yeley for an unknown reason.{{cite web|url=http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2017/2/19/who-won-daytona-500-pole-chase-elliott-qualifying-order-daytona-international-speedway.html|title=Chase Elliott Captures Back-to-Back Daytona Poles|work=NASCAR|publisher=Turner Sports Network|author=Staff report|date=February 19, 2017|access-date=February 19, 2017|archive-date=February 20, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170220171517/http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2017/2/19/who-won-daytona-500-pole-chase-elliott-qualifying-order-daytona-international-speedway.html|url-status=dead}}
In his 800th NASCAR start at Iowa's American Ethanol E15 250, Sadler came back from the rear of the field and ended up having a great night, but was still unable to get his first win of the season. He had a great shot to win Daytona but could not, instead pushing teammate William Byron past the overtime line as a crash took place, sealing the win for Byron.
Sadler clinched the first NASCAR Xfinity Series Regular Season Championship with a 5th-place finish in the Go Bowling 250 at Richmond Raceway.{{cite web|url=https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2017/09/08/elliott-sadler-nascar-xfinity-series-2017-regular-season-championship/|title=Elliott Sadler wraps up NASCAR XFINITY Series 2017 Regular Season Championship|last=Kraft|first=RJ|work=NASCAR.com|publisher=NASCAR Digital Media, LLC|date=September 8, 2017|access-date=August 15, 2018}}
Sadler entered the night with a 91-point edge over JR Motorsports teammate William Byron and needed to come out of the race ahead by at least 61 points in the standings. Sadler finished the race 95 points ahead of Byron. Sadler was officially awarded the championship trophy and the 15 bonus points towards the NASCAR playoffs the following weekend at Chicagoland Speedway; the final race of the regular season. Despite not winning a single regular-season race, Sadler led the series with 11 Top 5s, an average finish of 9.5, and spent all but two weeks on top of the points standings.
