With a starting position of 18th, Sadler had to see this as a chance to change that history once and for all. It would not be easy though. Sadler found himself having to battle a loose car from the start of Sunday's race. He showed patience, however, as his pit crew worked to improve that handling throughout the 500 lap race.

Sadler proceeded to work his way up from the 14th position he held most of the race. This was thanks in large part to crew chief Raymond Fox’s strategic calls from the pits, which helped Sadler gain track position and move to the front of the field.

Towards the end of the race (racing back to the final race caution), Sadler and Jeff Burton fought Tony Stewart for the top-5 finish. Sadler was able to hold on, however, and finish the day in the fifth spot. An unhappy Stewart "bumped" the No. 38 car under the final two laps letting Sadler know he was not happy with the outcome.

The fifth place finish allowed Sadler to maintain 10th place in the point standings. He is now only 275 points behind leader Matt Kenseth.

Of his team's performance Sadler said: "I love this team. Raymond Fox III is the best kept secret in the garage area. This M&M's team deserved a top five and I’m just so happy. We actually got a top-5 in Martinsville."

Jarrett Finishes 20th in Virginia 500

It was a day of ups and downs for Dale Jarrett and the #88 car. Starting from 37th place, Jarrett pushed the #88 UPS Ford Taurus all the way up to seventh place before being forced down a lap to the top of the field.

"We had a good racecar and could have probably finished in the top five," Jarrett said. "We made good adjustments on the car so that was the one positive that came out of the day, and it was a real team effort by the #88 UPS guys."

Trouble for the #88 car started right before the fifth caution on lap 294. This is when John Andretti, who was two laps down, got into the side of the #88 car causing damage to the left front fender of Jarrett's car. As a result of this, the team made a couple pit stops during the caution period to change four tires and to repair the front fender. However, all of the lug nuts were not completely secured on Jarrett's car.

Jarrett had to come down pit road to tighten the lug nuts with one to go before green-flag racing resumed. Jarrett was then forced to pit three laps later when he was penalized for speeding on pit road. The team lost a lap as a result of the penalty.

Nine caution flags slowed the "Virginia 500," the last of which waved with just two laps to go when Kurt Busch went spinning into the wall. The raced ended under caution, and it allowed Jeff Gordon to score his first win of the 2003 season.

The NASCAR Winston Cup Series takes a break next weekend to observe the Easter Holiday before heading to the California Speedway the following week. The "NAPA 500" is scheduled to run Sunday, April 27th at California Speedway.
