Sadler to attempt Texas: The #02-Sadler Motorsports team and driver Hermie Sadler will indeed make the trip to Texas for the Samsung/Radio Shack 500 next weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway. Even though the team is seeking a primary sponsor for the event, Sadler says he and the team need the experience and the points. “We will get better every race we run. I have only run 5 Winston Cup races, so the experience will help.. We also need to go after as many Winston Cup points as we can to help us down the line, so we feel it is worth the effort to go. Even though we did not test, we have a car that qualified in the top 25 last fall in Atlanta, so we feel good about our chances.” Sadler will test at Martinsville and Tuesday in preparation for the Virginia 500 before heading to Texas.(PR)(3-30-2002) UPDATE: Sadler Motorsports and driver Hermie Sadler will make the trip to Texas for the Samsung/Radioshack 500 this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, although Sadler has no primary sponsorship lined up for the vent. There had been some rumors the team would withdraw their entry, but Sadler says the experience and points are needed. “I need all the seat time I can get, as well as the points. The full time teams have a point battle going on, but so do the part time teams. We need to make every race we can,” says Sadler. Before heading to Texas, Sadler will be testing at Martinsville this Tuesday to prepare for his Virginia 500 Virginia Lottery sponsored entry. Companies interested in sponsoring Sadler for this or upcoming races should contact The Patterson Group at 770-426-8064.(PR)(4-2-2002)
