Team History
Started in 2022, Sadler-Stanley Racing was founded by Hermie Sadler and Bill Stanley. In about five years of existence, the teams has multiple victories on the SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic and the 2024 & 2025 championship with Luke Baldwin driving the No. 7VA.
Sadler was the 1993 NASCAR Xfinity Series Rookie of the Year and is a former NASCAR TV personality, who also competed in the NASCAR Cup Series. Stanley is an Attorney and also Virginia State Senator. After his father passed away, Stanley encouraged his mom to fulfill her life-long dream to become an attorney. After she passed the bar in 1998, he joined with his mom to start a law firm, locating it back home in Franklin County, Virginia. They still practice law together, 15 years later in the firm of Stanley, Houchens & Griffith.
Both are friends who both enjoy a passion of motorsports.
Through their open-wheel Modified team, they've seen the likes of NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Bobby Labonte and NASCAR star and former Cup Series Rookie of the Year Ryan Newman both score victories. Labonte won two SMART Modified Tour powered by Pace-O-Matic events in a row to close the 2023 season and added another in the summer of 2024 at Caraway Speedway. Newman's top victory came at North Wilkesboro Speedway in the first Modified event after the revival of the track in 2022.
Luke Baldwin, a rising Modified star, scored his first career Tour-Type Modified win with the team at South Boston Speedway in March of 2024, winning $20,000 as the King of the Modifieds, before ending the year with the SMART Modified Tour championship and Rookie of the Year award all in one. The team also housed a car for Jonathan Cash in 2024, who had multiple top-10 finishes in his full-time effort. Cash picked up his first career SMART Modified Tour win in 2025 with plenty more top-10 runs, while Baldwin sealed four victories and his second straight championship.
