Elliott Sadler – No. 11 OneMain Financial Toyota Preview
NASCAR Nationwide Series October Charlotte Race
HOME SWEET HOME: Elliott Sadler and the No. 11 OneMain Financial team are back in North Carolina this week to compete in the NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In 15 NASCAR Nationwide Series starts at Charlotte, Sadler won the pole award once, recorded four top-five and five top-ten finishes. Sadler has also made 25 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at Charlotte with one pole award, one top-five and three top-ten finishes.
ALL PINK: BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH: All year long Sadler has represented pink Oakley driving shoes to show support for breast cancer awareness and honor his mom, Bell. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, and is now a survivor. With October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Sadler and OneMain Financial will race a special pink paint scheme at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Oct 10th. In addition, Sadler will sport a custom pink fire suit and custom pink helmet to match the car. Fans will have the opportunity to bid on his race-worn shoes, gloves, suit and helmet throughout the month of October. Proceeds from the auctions will go toward breast cancer research and education.

JUST THE STATS: After 29 races in the 2014 season, Sadler is currently in fifth place in the Nationwide Series driver championship point standings, 60 points back from the lead. The Emporia, Va., native has one win, one pole award, six top-five and 21 top-ten finishes.
LAST RACE: KANSAS SPEEDWAY: Sadler qualified in the seventh position for the Nationwide Series race at Kansas Speedway last Saturday afternoon. With great pit strategies and fast pit stops, Sadler worked his way to the front and led the field for 37 laps. After leading, Sadler was shuffled back to the 13th position, but made a strong push in the closing laps to finish seventh.
ELLIOTT SADLER QUOTES: “There is no doubt, racing in Charlotte always feels special. Most of the race shops are in area, so there is a lot of extra excitement with so many family and friends at the race. This weekend is also special because I’ll be racing a pink Toyota in honor of breast cancer awareness in honor of my mom, and everyone who has battled the disease. In addition to the pink car, I’ll be wearing a custom pink fire suit and a pink helmet. Since my mom is a breast cancer survivor, it means more than a color to me. I’m so thankful I get to race for a great sponsor and great company which will let me support breast cancer awareness this month.”
