An attorney representing Elliott Sadler has filed notice in Iredell County (N.C.) court saying the NASCAR driver intends to claim that Gillett Evernham Motorsports has breached Sadler's contract to drive the Sprint Cup team's No. 19 Dodges.
John Buric, Sadler's lawyer, filed an "application and order extending time to file complaint" Wednesday in Iredell County Superior Court. Sadler has until Jan. 20 to file an actual complaint if the parties cannot reach an agreement on their dispute.
According to the form, Sadler plans to seek "injunctive relief, declaratory relief/specific performance, consequential and punitive damages as a result of Defendants anticipatory and actual breach of Plaintiffs' Driving Services Agreement. ... Plaintiffs also seek general, consequential, treble and punitive damages, and attorney fees, as a result of Defendants' tortuous interference ..."
George Gillett, Gillette Evernham Motorsports, Anthony James Allmendinger and Ray Evernham Enterprises are named as defendants.
Buric said Sadler learned on Tuesday that GEM had engaged in negotiations with Allmendinger about driving the No. 19 Dodges in 2009. Buric said there had been "communication" with Sadler earlier, telling him that a change was being considered. But he said Sadler did not know there had been actual negotiations until he received phone calls about media reports that Allmendinger was being lined up to replace him.
"Elliott is ready, willing and able to fulfill his contractual obligations," Buric said. Sadler earlier this year signed an extension of his contract with GEM that runs through 2010.
"Gillett Evernham Motorsports policy does not allow us to comment on potential or pending legal matters involving the race team," said Ryan Barry, a spokesman for the organization.
Sadler has three Cup Series victories in 357 career races. He joined Evernham Motorsports in August 2006 to drive the No. 19. He finished 25th in the 2007 driver standings and 24th in 2008.
Allmendinger has made 44 career Cup starts since moving to NASCAR from the Champ Car World Series ranks. He drove in the final five races of the 2008 season in the No. 10 Dodges owned by GEM, finishing 16th or better in four of them.

Elliot Sadler will drive Gillett Evernham Motorsports' No. 19 Dodge in 2009.
Sadler had fought a possible ouster at GEM, and the driver's attorney told reporters that Sadler would file suit to get back into the car unless a settlement was reached. In May, Sadler signed a contract extension with GEM through 2010.

Top 20 countdown: No. 14 Jamie McMurray By Jay Hart, Yahoo! Sports Jan 25, 1:07 pm EST Buzz up!9 votes Print (Photos: Getty Images) 2008 statistics Finish Poles Wins Top 5 Top 10 16 0 0 4 11 The countdown No. 20: Martin Truex Jr. No. 19: Juan Pablo Montoya No. 18: Kurt Busch No. 17: Kasey Kahne No. 16: Brian Vickers No. 15: Tony Stewart No. 14: Jamie McMurray No. 13: Revealed Monday Editor’s note: Yahoo! Sports is counting down the Top 20 drivers going into the 2009 season. The order was determined by a survey, which asked six NASCAR journalists – Ricky Craven, Jay Busbee and Jay Hart (Yahoo! Sports); Jenna Fryer (Associated Press); David Poole (Charlotte Observer); and Nate Ryan (USA Today) – to predict the final standings for the 2009 season. The countdown will conclude on Feb. 6 with the unveiling of the No. 1 driver. 2008 finish: 16th 2009 Outlook: Did anyone have a more Jekyll and Hyde 2008 than Jamie McMurray? It took him 14 races to record his second top-10 of the season, then he rattled off four top-fives in the final six races of 2008. McMurray still may lose his seat following the 2009 campaign, when Jack Roush must decide which one of his five drivers to cut in order to comply with NASCAR’s four-car cap, but that decision isn’t the slam dunk it once was. McMurray has found the secret to success on the 1.5-mile tracks, which is huge considering intermediate tracks make up nearly half the Sprint Cup schedule. Though he didn’t find his way to victory lane, he became a popular pick, and not just as a wildcard. There is no question when it comes to equipment. Roush Fenway Racing will provide McMurray with the necessary tools to compete. So if he can build on his late-season success, McMurray has a very realistic shot at making the Chase. If he does and teammate David Ragan doesn’t, Roush’s decision will be made that much tougher. Whichever way it goes, there will be an unspoken season-long battle between the two teammates who, in all likelihood, are driving to keep a seat in one of NASCAR’s best teams. What you need to know: McMurray will be reunited with former crew chief Donnie Wingo this season. The two worked together when McMurray was with Chip Ganassi Racing. As a team, they never finished worse than 13th in the standings. Jay Hart is the NASCAR editor for Yahoo! Sports. Send Jay a question or comment for potential use in a future column or webcast.

Out of Control, Joe Gibbs flips sponsor:
JohnnyAngel Tue Jan 27, 2009 10:39 am
From Nascar.com
It's not often that Joe Gibbs loses control, but he did Friday night at Hampton Coliseum in Virginia.
Considered a cool customer not only during his Hall of Fame coaching career with the NFL's Washington Redskins but also atop the pit box, Gibbs faced off with Interstate Batteries chairman Norm Miller in a match race during intermission at Arena Racing USA's Hampton Roads.
Gibbs donned one of Tony Stewart's old driver suits and humbly admitted, "I've accused Tony of being a little overweight ... I had five people trying to zip it up" over his midsection.
Miller was on the pole and fended off Gibbs for five laps. However, on Lap 6 Gibbs got loose coming out of Turn 3 and literally drove the No. 20 Home Depot car beneath Miller's No. 18 Interstate Batteries ride entering Turn 4. The end result: Miller's car barrel-rolled as both cars came to a stop.
Gibbs, who was declared the winner, did exactly what his wife, Pat, warned him not to do: "Do not wreck Norm; you'll cost us a good sponsorship!" Gibbs recalled.
"I was out of control," Gibbs said after the race. "I got up there a couple of times and I thought, 'I've got to get in [to the corner] deeper.' "
Said Miller: "He got in deeper. He got behind me, on top of me and under me!"
