Back on August 15, 2018, three-time NASCAR Xfinity Series Most Popular Driver Elliott Sadler announced that he would be stepping away from NASCAR after 21 years to spend more time with his wife and two kids. But, in a Thursday release, the 43-year-old Emporia, Virginia native revealed that he would be returning to the track for two Xfinity Series races, driving the No. 10 Chevrolet Camaro SS for Kaulig Racing.

"I said I would only return to the race track if the right opportunity came along, and this is it," said Sadler, according to NASCAR.com. "I'm thrilled to partner with Nutrien Ag Solutions and Kaulig Racing for these two races and team up with Ross Chastain behind the wheel of the No. 10 Chevy. I believe in the mission of Nutrien Ag Solutions, as they help farmers lead the field, and they wanted me to put my helmet back on to do the same at Richmond and Las Vegas."
