Elliott Sadler, you may need to see your yellow race favorite after the Nationwide Series NASCAR Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday, although it was a little green. "
Sadler took advantage of two yellow cards at the end of the race and fought through a stomach virus that had spied for the weekend to earn his third win of the season.
"It made a hole yesterday. Richard (Childress) came to me and asked me:" I think a backup driver? '"Said Sadler." I put my foot in my mouth and told Richard not need it. I knew I had to support it. "
He took the lead after a caution flag came out when Brad Sweet with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. turn leading the race to the pits. An accident with five laps to the end took another precaution, and Sadler is the best restart thanks to a push from behind by Justin Allgaeir.
The victory extended the advantage Sadler National series for 11 points over teammate Austin Dillon. Stenhouse remains third in points, 19 points behind.
"We had to get something new momentum to our side," said Sadler. "Only we were able to resist."
The caution with which gave advantage Stenhouse Sadler led a lap back, but was able to catch a wave, put it around the back of the renewal package.
Stenhouse car, which was the fastest all day, seemed to be the best so far, as she ran through traffic toward the front. Like other teams struggled to changing climatic conditions in the circuit, Stenhouse maintained its stable configuration.
Sadler was within a second, the warning when the end of the day has flown.
"We definitely had the car to beat," said Stenhouse. "Precautions for only every other form of fall."
Sam Hornish Jr. had hit the back of Kyle Busch, which forced him to Brendan Gaughan and put two cars on the outside wall. It took more than five laps to clean up the debris, which forced the race into extra laps and a final green-flag white-checkered.
"I've been wanting red flag because we had a couple of laps at the end here," said Stenhouse.
Before giving up the initiative, Stenhouse was in front of 135 laps, and was sure that, if not the last incident, would have made the trip to the winners circle.
"(Justin Allgaier) just pushed (Sadler) so far out there, not only that there was nothing I could do," he said.
Childress said he never thought to toss around Sadler and feel over time.
"I was going to leave," he said. "Sometimes it's good to have an insurance policy. This is worse than giving your wife, I believe, give your car."
