Gillett Evernham Motorsports announced today it has signed a multi-year contract extension with driver Elliott Sadler.

We have enjoyed working with Elliott over the last year and a half and look forward to continuing our relationship.”
Sadler, 33, joined Gillett Evernham Racing in 2006 and is glad to have a future with the team. “This is the place where I want to race,” the Emporia, Va. native said. “I think what we are building here is special and something other drivers and crew members envy.” Sadler drives the #19 Dodge sponsored by Best Buy, Stanley Tools, McDonald’s and Siemens. He owns three career victories.

GEM could’ve done better than this guy. Long term mediocrity at best. Why?

Oh really? Like who?
Biffle’s supposedly close to a deal w/ Roush. If he didn’t go there, I’d have him pegged for a seat at JGR in some way.
Edwards is a done deal to stay w/ Roush, if I remember.
IF Stewart leaves JGR, he’ll want a Chevy team and at least partial ownership, so he’s out.
Maybe Newman, but I don’t know whether or not he would want to go to another Mopar team if he leaves Penske..
That leaves Truex Jr, who is under contract through the ‘09 season, but allegedly could get out of his deal this year.
