Elliott Sadler earned his first win in 66 starts in Saturday’s Sparks Energy 300 at Talladega Superspeedway. Not only did the race come on Sadler’s 41st birthday, it also came nearly two years to the day of his last Xfinity win, which was also at Talladega.
But Sadler’s achievement wasn’t easy: he had to overcome a last lap wreck with Joey Logano and hang on to his position on the track when the caution came out.
