SPEED Adds Fan Favorite Elliott Sadler to TRACKSIDE Team for Second Half of Season

Thank you NASCAR Gal for bringing this to my attention! Yeah!!! I can't wait to listen to Elliott's lovely accent and humor on Trackside. Plus, to see him in regular clothes and without a hat on all the time. Ya-hoo!!!! Anyone else notice they have 3 L's in Elliott once in this article??

"NASCAR driver Elliott Sadler will fill the fourth seat on SPEED’s popular Friday night show Trackside with Steve Byrnes, Darrell Waltrip, Jeff Hammond and Larry McReynolds. Waltrip will continue to handle the first-half duties, with Sadler taking over for DW on July 7 at Chicagoland Speedway.

“I’ve been a huge fan of Trackside over the years,” Sadler said. “I’m honored they’ve asked me to be a host and hope to bring race fans a unique perspective. I’ll be working with some great co-hosts and I know this is going to be a lot of fun.”

“SPEED viewers want to see a variety of drivers and crew chiefs with a variety of personalities,” said Chris Long, VP of Studio Production for SPEED. “Ellliott is a fantastic driver and he has a lot of fun with everything he does -- his insight and sense of humor will be a great addition to the cast. It’s flattering that Elliott wanted to find time from his busy schedule to work with us, and we expect the viewers are going to enjoy his participation.”
