How about Elliot Sadler in the #28?

Jayski has a blurb that RPM might be on the verge of shutting down Elliot Sadler's team. I have sort of mixed feelings here because I have said in the past, that with the history of the 28 car, I don't want to see it back on the track running mid pack. Mothball that number until we have an organization that can compete. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing Sadler in the 28 to see what he can do. He made the chase with Yates in the past, and while that isn't realistically going to happen again, he could at least do as well as what we already have. Plus, Sadler is kind of like Mikey Waltrip, they run so-so, but sponsors love them. I would think that Sadler could help bring at least a part time sponsor.

If he could bring a sponsor, I'd take him back. That's what they need right now - sponsors. Once the cars get better, they'll be able to get better drivers.

NO WAY !!! Sadler did Yates wrong. When they needed him the most he turned his back on them. They need money no doubt about that. But he is a never was driver never did anything befor Yates never done anything after Yates. For him to be in my beloved Yates #28 would make me sick. Yates can find money another way a more productive way.

If he could bring sponsors, maybe... Leaving early was not good, and I don't think Yates would do it again. But Sadler isn't the driver to turn Yates around. He didn't do anywhere near as well as Rudd did in the same car, nor is Sadler anywhere near the driver as Rudd. I really don't see RPM shutting down the 19, though.

As bad of a driver as Elliott Sadler is, the first thing Yates Racing needs are sponsors. They'd likely have two solid sponsors in Menards, and whatever sponsor Sadler would bring. Once the team becomes capable of finishing in the top-10, they'll likely get rid of Sadler.

Yeah he might get a sponser for Yates but how long would they want to stay. When they see how he preformes in Yates car's it well look bad for him and Yates. There is no way any name sponser would stay with a team that is running as bad as he does, or would i should say. Only reason he is where he is this year is because he was going to sue for his ride. Not because his sponsers want him to drive for them they wanted the Dinger to drive for there name.

That's true. I have absolutely no respect for Sadler after he had to be a crybaby to get his ride back. Rolling Eyes
