Sadler to drive 5 races for MWR:
Michael Waltrip Racing announced
that Elliott Sadler will drive the team's #55 Toyota in five Sprint Cup
races in 2012 beginning at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 18.
Sadler
will also drive the #55 in the August Bristol event, both Martinsville
races and the July 15 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Waltrip
explained how Sadler came to drive the No. 55. "Elliott has the
experience and attitude we were looking for," said the two-time Daytona
500 champion.
"We'll pair him with Crew Chief Rodney Childers who builds
really fast cars. We believe Elliott will do a great job." Waltrip
drove the #55 in the Budweiser Shootout and will run in four more races
in 2012. Mark Martin will drive the #55 in 24 races plus the All Star
Race in Charlotte.
MWR will name a driver for two road course events at a
later date.(MWR)3-3-2012)
