It’s unclear which car Sadler will drive and which one will be piloted by Vickers, but Joe Gibbs Racing just won the owner’s title with its No. 18 car (driven by Joey Logano much of this season).
Sadler has finished second in the Nationwide standings for the past two years at Richard Childress Racing.
