In the family: His older brother, Hermie, is also a NASCAR driver.
Career highlights:
- Sadler has three Cup Series victories, and finished a career-high ninth in the standings in 2004 after he qualified for the inaugural Chase for the Championship.
- Sadler attended James Madison University on a basketball scholarship, but a knee injury ended his career. He raced late-model stock cars at South Boston Speedway in Virginia, and was crowned track champion in 1995 after winning 13 races.
- In 1995, he began running a limited Busch Series schedule, but didn’t race full-time until 1997, when he won three races and finished fifth in the standings.
- He entered the Cup Series in 1999, driving for the Wood Brothers, and finished second to Tony Stewart for Rookie of the Year.
- He won his first Cup race in 2001 at Bristol Motor Speedway, and after a disappointing season in 2002 he moved from Wood Brothers to Robert Yates Racing.
- 2004 was his best year. He won two races, qualified for the Chase for the Championship and finished ninth in the standings.
- He was in the top 10 for much of the 2005 season, but failed to qualify for the Chase for the Championship.
- In 2006 Elliott won a pole position and ahd 7 top 10's, but finished a disapointing 22nd in the standings while teammate Kasey Khane florished.
- In 2007 he had an off season as Evernham Motorsports struggled to adapt to the new car and the adding of Canadian Business partner George Gillette. He recorder only 2 top 10's and finished a dismal 25th in the standings.
- 2008 Marked the first full year for the Car Of Tomorrow. So while analysts expected Gillette-Evernham Motorsports to stuggle, they rebounded. Sadler achived 8 top tens and two top fives. Teammate Kasey Khane won two races. It appeared Elliott had a great chance to win the Fall race at Tallageda after a wreck at the front of the field took out several of the major contenders. He made a move to the outside on the second to last lap, but with all teammates and all other Dodges nowhere near the front, he quickly fell from 4th to 12th, he rebounded to score a top 10.
- Elliot's favorite food is South Boston Speedway Bologna Burgers.

Yes Elliott is a very good Nascar driver..I believe he is underestimated tho...We need to give him credit where credit is due..He wil get things going next season..This wil be his first full season with Everham...The Cot is the hold back..
Once they get everything tweeked on these cars, We all will be able to see his true side..All ive got to say is watch out cause elliott sadler is gonna be the man in 2008 season..... |
