Sadler-Stanley Racing Battles Through Adversity During Busy Weekend

As the Sadler-Stanley Racing team loaded up Saturday at Tri-County Speedway, the team reflected on two days of racing that were filled with adversity. On Friday, the team competed in the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race at Richmond Raceway with Bobby Labonte driving the No. 38VA. In the middle of the race, Labonte was swept up in a wreck, failing to finish after a promising run early.

On Sunday, the team moved from Virginia to North Carolina to compete in the fourth race of the SMART Modified Tour season with team drivers Jonathan Cash and Luke Baldwin. After the Cardinal 99, Baldwin came away with the best finish of the week for the team – 5th – after fighting transmission problems during the race. 

Cash, who had issues with his primary car, had to use a backup. He was involved in a wreck early in the race and the finish didn’t show for the hard work the team put forward.

Putting it behind them, Sadler-Stanley Racing will be back on track next Saturday, April 6, at Orange County Speedway for another SMART Modified Tour race with both Luke Baldwin and Jonathan Cash.
