Elliott Sadler and Roush Fenway Racing announced on Friday a partnership that will bring Sadler and sponsor OneMain Financial to RFR next year. Sadler will drive the No. 1 Ford Mustang in the Nationwide Series, which will be rebranded the XFINITY Series after the change in entitlement sponsors.
“It’s kind of like a homecoming for me, to be reunited with Ford and Ford Racing, to be reunited with (engine builder) Doug Yates,” Sadler said. “Ford really gave me my first big opportunity in the Cup series back in 1999 with the Wood Brothers, and my contract was actually through Roush, because they handled all the stuff for the Wood Brothers back then.
“So it’s kind of like I’m coming back home.”
