In 2005, Sadler was strong out of the gate. He stayed in the top five in the point standings throughout the first half of the season. However, late season difficulties plagued the No. 38 team as they narrowly missed qualifying for their second Chase for the Championship. Sadler was 11th in points after the cutoff race at Richmond International Raceway in September. Still, there were several highlights for Sadler in 2005 as he clinched four pole positions including the starting spot at the prestigious Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
After three-and-a-half seasons with Robert Yates Racing, Sadler joined forces with Gillett Evernham Motorsports as the driver of the No. 19 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge Charger. He took the wheel of his new ride at Michigan in August of 2006 for the final 14 races with his new team posting two top-10 finishes.
In 2007, Sadler led 62 laps, posted two top-10 finishes and finished 25th in points. He finished a season best sixth at the Daytona 500. Sadler went longer than any other driver before failing to finish a race in 2007.
Sadler hopes that consistency coupled with improved performance returns him to the 2008 “Chase for the Sprint Cup.”
