Elliott Sadler (No. 19 McDonalds Dodge Charger) finished 15th in the Goody’s Cool Orange 500

HOW DOES YOUR BACK FEEL AFTER 500 LAPS?

Sadler: “I feel pretty good. I appreciate Dennis Setzer working with us the last two days giving me a little break on Friday and Saturday and that made a big difference today. My doctor (Dr. Mike Anderson) came up this weekend from home – that’s pretty special for him to come in here and get me all straightened this morning and loosened up like I needed to. I took a few Tylenol and I felt great during the race. I’m a little sore. I’ll definitely be feeling this in the morning. My back did not get any worse during the race; it stayed at the same level of soreness the whole time.”

HOW DID THE RACE CAR WORK FOR YOU TODAY?

Sadler: “The car was pretty good; just a little tight on some runs. We couldn’t get the tightness out of the car. But, we’ll take a 15th place here at Martinsville where bad things can happen. We had a couple of close calls today, and making contact with anything out there today wasn’t something I wanted, at all.”
