Elliott Sadler enters the weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway (HMS) as one of the four eligible drivers to win the inaugural NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) Chase.
“We have done everything that we need to do to get ready for Homestead and we are as prepared as we can be as a race team," Sadler said. "We have saved our Darlington car which is our best car for Homestead. I have a lot of experience, I need to be a leader, and I need to stay focused. We are fortunate to be in this position to go fight three other guys for the driver championship and a few others for the owner championship. We are going to go make the most of it.”
Sadler has 10 NXS starts at HMS and has one top five along with four top-10 finishes. In 10 races at 1.5-mile tracks this season, Sadler has one win (Kentucky), four top-five and 9 top-10 finishes.
JR Motorsports race operations manager Mike Bumgarner will serve as crew chief of the No. 1 OneMain Financial team at HMS.
Still in the Hunt for 2016 NXS Owner Championship: Heading into this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, JR Motorsports is still in the hunt for its first NASCAR Xfinity Series owner championship as an organization with the No. 1 OneMain Financial Chevrolet Camaro. Owned by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and driven by Sadler, the No. 1 entry has three wins, 13 top fives and 28 top 10s on the season.
