ELLIOTT SADLER QUOTES
“I’m really pleased with the performance of the No. 19 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge Charger, the communication with Josh (Browne, co-team director), the effort by the crew and the support we get from our engineers and everyone at Evernham Motorsports. We could easily have three top-10 finishes. That’s what makes everything so neat…the potential this team has.
“It was great having the three Evernham Motorsports’ teams running 1-2-3 at California. That was the first time this year they were 1-2-3 under race conditions. The objective at Richmond is to get Kasey (Kahne) in the Chase. Scott (Riggs) and I can help that effort by running up front with Kasey. It’s going to be a typical Saturday night short-track race … lots of action.”
