NEXTERA ENERGY RESOURCES 250
NASCAR CAMPING WORLD SERIES RACE
AT DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2010,
· Elliott Sadler led three times for 25 laps to earn WIX Filters Lap Leader of the Race honors in tonight’s NextEra Energy Resources 250. Sadler led a lap for the first time in four NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts.
Sadler posted a 20th-place finish in the race after being involved in an accident on lap 33.
· SADLER QUOTES: “Just wrong place at the wrong time. I can’t thank Kevin and Delana [Harvick] enough to give me this opportunity and it was fun. We had a great time. We were leading the race and running up front and just really riding at the time to try to make it to the end but just got caught up in somebody else’s stuff. I’m sure they’ll go get ‘em in Atlanta and I’ll be back in the truck at Charlotte so looking forward to that day to come.”
DO YOU LIKE RACING IN THIS SERIES?
“I did tonight for about 32 laps [smiles]. It was a lot of fun. I really like the way the motor feels here at Daytona, a lot of throttle response. They’ve got some drag and stuff in ‘em which makes ‘em fun to drive but I’ve learned more and more about ‘em each time I’ve raced ‘em. But every time I’ve been in a truck I’ve enjoyed it especially with the equipment KHI gave me tonight. It was a lot of fun.”
