Paint is about dry on Gilliland's move to Yates

They way it says Sadler cleaned out his locker Monday at Yates it kinda makes me sad.  Reminds me of when the season is over for hockey & the Wings have to go down to the Joe to clean out their lockers.  Kinda a sad day.

But on the other hand, that opens the door for Elliott to move on.  Just keeping my fingers crossed they get all this stuff taken care of in time for Elliott to race at MIS on Sunday.

Elliott Sadler cleaned out his locker Monday at Robert Yates Racing, clearing the way for David Gilliland to take over the No. 38 car.

Gilliland, 30, will make his second Nextel Cup start, his first for RYR, Sunday in the GFS Marketplace 400 at Michigan International Speedway.

Gilliland's name has been painted on the No. 38 M&M's Ford Fusion, and all signs point to a formal announcement within days.

Gilliland will be in the car as early as Tuesday for testing at Kentucky Speedway, the Sporting News has learned.

Sadler most likely will be released from his contract with RYR this week, and he is expected to take over the No. 19 at Evernham Motorsports, which became open when Jeremy Mayfield was fired last week.
