Episode 9 - SCORE Motorsports
When his once-promising career in the NASCAR Busch Series stalled, Hermie Sadler used both his many passions and his business acumen to build a new Cup Series program from the ground up. Whether flying the flag as Virginia’s favorite son, as an advocate for Autism research, or simply as a fan of professional wrestling, Hermie soon joined his brother Elliott as a Cup Series driver. But it wasn’t until the 2004 season that Hermie finally had the chance to run full-time, and with it the opportunity to take his team in a new direction.
