Having grown up in the South and watched the Eastern elite make fun of the South all my life, I am sometimes thin-skinned. I can readily envision some NY marketing type saying Sadler is too "Southern." I don't remember exactly which NY Times article I saw in the last couple of months about NASCAR that in its 1st sentence referred to NASCAR fans in the infield chugging beer and roasting pigs.<BR/><BR/>I do see that Sadler finished 24th in Cup for 2008 and Sorensen 32nd- so I raised the question about whether Sadler's distinct Southern-ness could have been a factor, but I take it David P has no opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24366637.post-51956596332948036612009-01-01T20:28:00.000-05:002009-01-01T20:28:00.000-05:00Bob Miller, good reminder of Sadler's previous tea...Bob Miller, good reminder of Sadler's previous teams. <BR/><BR/>He has quite a record.

Because Reed sounds pretty Southern to me. <BR/><BR/>My own opinion - this was based on driving, or at least potential driving. Sadler's personality makes him a better marketing asset whether he's Southern or not. But he hasn't accomplished much on the track in several years with competitive equipment and is past the age where he can be expected to improve a lot.
