Elliott Sadler was looking for his first win of the season, his last coming at Darlington Raceway last year. Although, some confusion questions Sadler, for the caution coming late in the going.
Sadler made a risky move by pitting and taking his last set of fresh tires on lap 185. He would then restart in the 19th position. Sadler started working his way up and began passing cars like no tomorrow. He caught second place runner, Ty Dillon, with 22 laps to go. After Sadler completed the pass for second, he set his eyes on leader and teammate Justin Allgaier.
In order for Sadler's strategy to work, the race needed to remain green to the checkered. However, a questionable caution came with 12 laps to go, when NASCAR threw the yellow for B.J. McLeod who might have had possible fluid from his car. Although, Sadler was not pleased with the call from NASCAR, as this would ultimately cost him the race.
"Yeah, I want to see a replay of the caution, where all the oil and whatever went down," Sadler said. I did not see any speedy dry put down, so I just don't understand the caution. Not where we wanted to be, but we took a chance and had a chance to win race at our home track."
"Thank you to Golden Corral," Sadler added. We did finish in the top 10, which means kids eat free on Monday (May 1st). It's a shame, we had a chance at $100,000, but I still don't why the caution came out. I'm gonna have to look at replay and see if the cars were tore up, or oil was laid down. No speedy dry was down, so I just don't know what the caution was for."
