Elliott Sadler's pit crew took first place honours in Sunday's Brickyard 400, scoring its fourth win of the season i꧟n the McDonald's Drive-Thru Pit Chaꦐmpionship fuelled by POWERade.

The four victories for Sadler's crew, which have come in the last seven races, li﷽fted the team's earnings to $80,000 - $20,000 for each win. The other victories for the #38 crew were at Michigan, Sonoma and Chicago.

Sadler's and Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s crews continue to wage a tight points battle that will pay the McDonald's/POWERade season champion $200,000. After 21 Next🍌el Cup races, Sadler's crew is five points ahead of Earnhardt's crew - 767 to 762. Lurking in third is Tony Stewart's crew with 731 points.

Sadler's M&M's Ford spent the least amount of time on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's pit road, beating its Robert Yates Racing tea꧟mmate - Dale Jarrett's #88 UPS Ford. Sadler's car was clocked at 211.980 seconds while Jarrett's car was nearly six seconds off the pace at 217.693. Earnhardt's #8 Budweiser Chevy was third at 234.223.

"Both our pit crews are performing well right now," said Eddie D'Hondt, general manager of Robert Yates Racing. "For the #38 M&M's team to win this award for the fourth time in seve🗹n weeks, is just incredible. They are hitting their stride at the right time of the season as they build upon their lead in the chase for the McDonald's / POWERade championship. I am very proud of our guys, Elliott and (crew chief) Todd Parrott and I don't see us letting up the rest of the year. It takes track position and the whole package to run in the top 10 in points all year long and the M&M's crew is bringing it, every week. They are awesome."

Sadler's over-the-wall 🌸crew consists of: Darryl Lockyer (front-tyre changer), Kevin Hall (front-tyre carrier), Dave Smith (rear-tyre changer/car chief), Lance Hanna (rear-tyre carrier), Rodney Fetters (jackman), Preston Cordell (gas man) and Jay Thomp😼son (catch can). The team's crew chief is Todd Parrott.
