Elliott Sadler, one of the well-known names in NASCAR, will make his return to the tracks on August 14 at Richmond Raceway. Fans will be thrilled to see this driver back, who has not competed at a national level since 2019.
Sadler, 51, will drive the No. 25 Ram 1500 for Kaulig Racing, which has formed a new Ram truck team. This vehicle is quickly becoming an option for well-known drivers looking for competition.
The Virginia driver has not competed in the truck series since 2011, when he finished his last season in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. In total, Sadler has one victory in 20 races, which he achieved at Pocono in 2010.
Regarding his return, Sadler commented: ‘It will be fun to get back in a truck; I just hope I remember how to drive it. Richmond has always been special to me, and I’m grateful to Ram and Kaulig Racing for this opportunity to compete again.’
Sadler is an experienced driver who has found success in all NASCAR categories, with nearly 400 O’Reilly races and 13 career victories. Although he has not won a title in the O’Reilly category, he has finished second in four different seasons.
During his NASCAR Cup career, he participated in 438 races between 1997 and 2017, with three notable victories in Bristol, Texas, and Fontana. His last participation in NASCAR was with Kaulig Racing, where he raced in two O’Reilly category events in 2019, managing to bring home a top-ten finish in his final race.
Chris Rice, CEO of Kaulig Racing, expressed his excitement about having Sadler on his team: ‘We are very excited to have Elliott driving for us. We grew up together at South Boston Speedway, so competing in Richmond in front of our home crowd is really special. We have won many races together, and thanks to Ram and everyone at Kaulig Racing, we have the opportunity to fight for one more victory.’
Throughout the season, several drivers have driven the No. 25, including names like Tony Stewart, Jamie McMurray, and Clint Bowyer. With Elliott Sadler’s recent return, fans are looking forward to a spectacular performance in Richmond.
