Previous NASCAR XFINITY Series Race
Sadler finished 12th this past Saturday in the NXS race at Road America. Rain cancelled qualifying and the starting order was decided from Friday’s first practice lap times. The No. 1 OneMain Financial crew made a mock qualifying run in first practice and Sadler started from the ninth position. With nine laps to go in the race, the caution flag came out and Sadler decided to come down pit road for fresh tires. Sadler restarted 19th and methodically passed seven cars in the closing four laps. Sadler drove his No. 1 OneMain Financial Ford across the finish line and finished 12th at Road America.

QUOTE WORTHY
“Darlington is a fun track to race at. You can almost guarantee that every car will have at least one scuff or one dent on it by the time the race is complete. As a fan, you have to love coming to Darlington. There have been so many great races and finishes that have taken place at “The Lady in Black”. Last year I finished second in the XFINITY race and hopefully we can one-up that finish this Saturday afternoon.”
