AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Elliott Sadler pulled up to the grandstand, revved his engine and spun his tires until there was hardly any rubber left. A wall of white smoke billowed up the flag stand and drifted over pit road, leaving the rest of the field in a fog.

After waiting so long to win a Nationwide race, Sadler wanted to enjoy this one.

Sadler took the lead after a late caution and held on down the stretch to earn his first Nationwide win in 14 years at Phoenix International Raceway on Saturday.

"It's a very emotional win," said Sadler, who will run five Sprint Cup races for Michael Waltrip Racing along with his Nationwide schedule this season. "We all know how long it's been since I was in Victory Lane."
