In a "This Is Your Life"-style conversation, the soon-to-be-retired Xfinity Series championship contender reflects on his NASCAR career and what it was like being an up and coming driver 20 years ago (1:00); that “when I came along, I was the only young guy!” (2:30); a memorable anecdote from his first season with Wood Brothers Racing and what it taught him about responsibility as a 23-year-old (3:30); why he believes today’s generation of youth lacks the same big-picture perspective (5:30); how Sadler developed the confidence to become a “sponsor’s dream” and NASCAR ambassador (7:00); a restrospective of his Robert Yates Racing years and flirting with becoming a title contender (9:00); what eventually led to him leaving Yates and why it was so difficult (10:30); some tough seasons of driving for George Gillett (12:30); the rebirth of his career in the Xfinity Series by choosing KHI over a backmarker team in Cup (14:00); on being remembered more as an Xfinity driver (15:30); the last chance he had at going back to Cup (16:30); why he hasn’t missed the premier series since landing at JR Motorsports (18:00); his decision to make a clean break from being regular at the track with no ambitions to do media after driving (19:00).
