Only two weeks into the 2018 season and veteran Elliott Sadler is back where he feels most comfortable – leading the Xfinity Series championship standings. The four-time championship runner-up has not won a race at this week’s venue, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but he has back-to-back eighth-place finishes in his last two races here. He finished fifth in 2013 and his top showing was a third-place after qualifying on the pole in 2012.

Sadler’s JR Motorsports’ No. 1 Chevrolet is the only car to have completed every lap of Xfinity Series racing to date.

As Sadler has come to expect, his toughest competition comes from within his JR Motorsports team. And this year that includes rookie Tyler Reddick, who won the Xfinity season-opener at Daytona Beach two weeks ago and is the only JRM driver with a victory at Las Vegas – his coming in the Camping World Truck Series in 2016.
