Friday's Answer:
Friday's Answer:
Q: Last week, we ran a couple of articles about Elliott Sadler. Sadler has been racing in NASCAR for over 20 years. How did he make his first start in one of NASCAR's National Series?
A: Elliott Sadler made his first start in the then-Busch Grand National Series at his home track, South Boston Speedway, in 1995. Elliott drove the No. 46 Chevrolet Lumina as a teammate to older brother Hermie. At the time, Elliott was a standout in late models. In the race, Elliott started 15th and finished an impressive eighth.
