It is time for short track racing, Bristol style

Emporia's Elliott Sadler and the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 11 OneMain Financial team look forward to the fourth race of the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series season at Bristol Motor Speedway. In 14 Nationwide Series starts, Sadler has two wins at the half-mile Bullring in 1998 and 2012, five top-five and seven top-10 finishes with 172 laps led. The veteran driver also has 25 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at Bristol, with one win in 2005, three top-five and four top-10 finishes.

Three races into the 2014 season, Sadler currently sits third in the Nationwide Series driver champion points standings, nine points back from the lead.

"Everyone knows Bristol Motor Speedway is one of my favorite tracks. I love the atmosphere, I love the racing and I enjoy the fast pace style in the big colosseum,” said Sadler.

“The plan is to have two great practices, qualify up near the front and stay up front so I'll be in contention for the win during those last paint-swapping laps. Obviously that is easier said than done when it comes to Bristol, but this OneMain Financial team is ready for a win and this weekend is the perfect time for our first this season,” he added.

Elliott "Bam Bam" Sadler looks to defend his five-time  Bristol Motor Speedway Food City Race Night Wii Boxing Championships at the track on Friday night. Undefeated, Sadler will go for his sixth championship title on Friday, March 14 at 6:30 p.m. ET. For more information, visit www.bristolmotorspeedway.com.
