RICHMOND, Va. -- Virginia native Elliott Sadler retired after last season, but made his return to NASCAR's Xfinity Series on Friday night at Richmond Raceway.
The 43-year-old Sadler drove for Kaulig Racing, finishing 12th in one of just two planned starts this season. He is also scheduled to race at Las Vegas in September.
"It's good to be back. I was nervous this week. I'm not going to lie," he said about racing for the first time since last season's finale at Homestead. "I didn't sleep much this week, wanting to come here, excited and nervous and all that good stuff to come back to my home track.
