The KHI/RCR partnership really isn't, but the sponsorship & driver line up announcements are important IMO. I just saw it and figured it was news worthy and posted, I got nothing better to do...

What about the news of Elliott Sadler going to KHI? Is that official yet?

Not yet. Its still either full time in NNS or CWTS for him.

Sadler could win a championship in either series.

For sure. He is one of those drivers that with the right equipment, he could be a contender in Cup. I hate to see him booted down a notch, but he will show in a lower series that he still has enough talent to drive in NASCAR's top level.

The Menard effect is already taking shape.

his time at the top level has passed.

While he could possibly win in a top ride, doozer is right, there are any number of drivers who would do better. Always liked Sadler, but he isn't the driver he was.

I never knew Sadler had a top level. He did okay when he first started with Yates. He fluked into a win with the Wood Brothers.

There's no such thing as a fluke victory.

NASCAR Sprint Cup is a top level series, therefore, a driver in it is at a top level.

Some would have said the same about Jamie McMurray after last season. He was given another chance and look what he has done with it.

Let me remind you, Kevin Conway is in the series.

I do get your point, though.
