Sadler Debuts McDonald's Dodge At Martinsville
03.25.2008
No. 19 Dodge driver Elliott Sadler carries the familiar McDonald's paint scheme this weekend in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series race at Martinsville Speedway. Sadler will race the McDonald’s car six times in 2007 joining a small group of Sprint Cup drivers who have carried the Golden Arches paint scheme through the years. The list includes Hut Stricklin, Jimmy Spencer, plus Gillett Evernham Motorsports drivers Bill Elliott and Kasey Kahne.
The Emporia, Va. native always enjoys racing in his home state. At Martinsville, Sadler has led three races for 49 laps, including 10 laps in this race last year. He has completed 96.7% race laps in 18 starts at the .526-mile track. Sadler is 20th in points, one point behind 19th and 87 from 12th place.
One thing Sadler hasn’t had much success with at Martinsville is the concession stand. That’s where their famous pink hot dogs slathered with chili and onions are served by the thousands. As popular as they are, they haven’t made an impression on the driver who still holds the record for most Bologna burgers eaten at one time (16) at nearby South Boston Speedway.
