ELLIOTT SADLER QUOTES
“I’m looking forward to the opportunity to drive for Evernham Motorsports. I love Ray’s (Evernham) enthusiasm, and all the guys in the shop seem to follow his lead on that. I can’t wait to get into the seat of the No. 19 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge Charger. This weekend can’t get here fast enough. I’m looking forward to being a part of the Evernham Motorsports team, working with Kasey (Kahne) and Scott (Riggs) week-in and week-out. I’ve known Kasey for the last couple of years. Scott and I used to race each other in dirt late models about 10 years ago. I can’t thank Ray enough for giving me the opportunity to drive for such a great organization and represent Dodge, UAW, Valvoline, Stanley and everybody that’s on this race car.”

“I’m very excited. Ray has a lot of passion for this sport. He has the will to win. Going to the shop this week, (I realized that) he definitely has the resources I think to take me, Scott and Kasey to the next level. From where he started a couple of years ago to where his company is now, he’s come a long way in a short time. That starts with the man at the top, so I’m very, very excited about being a part of his program. I’m very excited about working with Kasey. I’ve been friends with him for a while. I used to race against Scott years ago around South Boston and Orange County, so I have a great relationship with him. I’m just looking forward to getting started this weekend. I think this team is prepared for the future as well as anybody.”
