#19-Elliott Sadler said Friday that he does not expect to be back with Richard Petty Motorsports after this season and that he’s had talks with car owners about a ride in 2011 and could be a month or so from announcing his new plans. Here’s what Sadler (in part) said Friday at Chicagoland Speedway: “I want to race. My dad and I talk about this every week when I get home. Me and the 19 car have had our differences in the past. We have definitely worked through that. Foster (Gillett, who oversees the team) has been very open-minded and very honest the last couple of months of trying to make our team better to end the season strong. I don’t fit into their future plans. We haven’t talked about anything 2011 at all. Me as far as what they’re doing and what we’re doing. So we’re definitely going on our different ways, but we need to end up this season as strong as we can. I think it will help me try to find something, land something for next year and I think it will help them land a driver that I think fits into what they’re trying to do in the future. At this moment I do not expect at all to be back with this organization. I feel really good in the area my career is going next year. I’ve had a lot of good talks with a couple of different car owners in the last month and a half, two months and we’ll see where it takes us. I should know something here in the next month or month and a half on what my future will be for next year. (that will be dependent on sponsorship). We’ve had some awesome conversations.”(Virginian Pilot)(7-9-2010)
