Sadler = Racer
I must admit, I have never been a huge Elliot Sadler fan, but I have always pulled for the underdog (well, underdog in the past 15 years at least...) Wood Brothers. It was a bit disappointing to see him ask for his release from the team, but since reading this article today, I think I might just cheer for Elliot for the rest of the year:

Someone posted this article at Stix too & one of the comments made was granted it's a nice gesture on Elliott's part, not many people would do it & shows a commitment to the Wood Bros. & his fans, but he comes from a family with money, so it's alot easier to say the money doesn't matter when you have it.

I should add that Elliott is my "Bud" & I don't hold it against him that his family has $$$ & think it's great that he is offering to give his winnings back to the Wood Bros.

You do realize what kind of money he's talking about giving away, right? Millions... And if he's got the bucks to do that, then why is he even bothering with a mid-pack team? Why isn't he funding his own first class ride?
And Lars, you got two to go before you hit the big 1K! |
