After getting involved in a four-car crash in turn 2 late in the race two weeks ago at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Sadler chalked up incident number 14 for the year.
That put him in the lead, ahead of Sam Hornish Jr. and Joey Logano, who each have been involved in 13 spins or crashes that prompted yellow flags.
It's time for another installment of our exclusive FanHouse crash and spin roundup. And after 28 races, with eight more to go, while Sadler leads with 14, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kevin Harvick have been involved in the fewest, with two each.
The worst of Sadler's 14, of course, was his full speed, head-on crash into an earthen berm at Pocono on Aug. 1 -- number 12 on his list. Although Sadler was unhurt save for some serious soreness, the engine and most of the front end of his car was torn off by the impact (right). NASCAR officials later told him it was the hardest crash their in-car monitoring devices had ever recorded.
Sadler's year-long record, however, is not so much a reflection of a sudden burst of futility, but more of a steady, relentlessly consistency. Since the last time we checked 13 races ago, Sadler has surged into the lead past Marcos Ambrose, who held the lead at 10. But in the last 13 races, Ambrose got his act together, and only added two more incidents, so he's at 12 after 28 races, Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
