Elliott Sadler's #19 Stanley car will race as a Ford for the first time in NASCAR Sprint Cup competition this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway. Sadler is racing the Ford Fusion in preparation for Richard Petty Motorsports switch to Ford beginning in 2010. Sadler will return to his familiar #19 Dodge entry for the final three races of 2009. ON DRIVING A FORD AT TALLADEGA: "Richard Petty Motorsports is working with Ford Racing as we get ready to make the full-time switch at Daytona in 2010. Since this is the final restrictor plate race of the season, we made the decision to run a Ford to get some work done in advance. This will be our first time to practice and work on a Fusion under real race conditions. It should help us get ready to make a strong showing at Daytona and put us in the best position to start next season. I'll be back in a Dodge at Texas, Phoenix and Homestead, but since it's important to start a season off on the right foot we thought we'd try to get a head start."(RPM)(10-27-2009)

Six of one.... Half dozen of the other.

But I guess from a engine stand point there is a difference.

All I know is that I want the boy to win. He's cool, and a good driver. And besides that; my girlfriend pulls for him. And when he does'nt do well, she get's MAD!

And when she ain't happy... ain't nobody happy.

Well one thing is for sure, with Sadler in the car we will see if a Ford can flip more times than a Dodge.

Really? I would have never known that

It was just a joke about how he crashes so much. Don't over think it lol

Is Sadler going to have the new Ford engine?

TIME FOR A SHAKE-UP IN THE "CHASE"!

[nascaraddict]

That, I would'nt have the slightest idea. But I would imagine so.

I would think if the deal included the new engine, that would have been in the press release.

Just found out that Kenseth and Ragan will have the new Ford engine at 'Dega.
I hope Sadler does something with the Ford. 'Would love to see RPM do well with the Fords.
Notice how several teams are already tweaking things for '10? Engine, manufacturer and personel changes?

Sadler's another one that'll be racing full-time in Trucks or Nationwide in the next season or two. Doesn't matter what make or model he drives, he just has that "middle-of-the-pack" mentality and ability since the only time he's ever led a race is when the real skilled drivers pit.

Nice fellow, solid citizen but his days are past him, sorry to say.

It was not a new engine. Yates like everyone else who goes with a new engine normally has an abundant supply left over of the old engines. Like when Dodge introduced the new engine RPM said they had over a 100 old engines to use up first.
