Elliott Sadler will join Roush Fenway Racing in 2015 to compete in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, according to the organization and sponsor OneMain Financial.

Sadler, currently competing for Joe Gibbs Racing, will pilot the No. 1 RFR Ford. A 10-time winner in the series, he is fourth in points heading into Saturday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts Challenge (ESPN, 3:30 p.m. ET).

“It’s an honor to remain with OneMain Financial next year,” Sadler said. “I’m thrilled for the opportunity to race under the OneMain Financial banner and team up with Roush Fenway Racing to compete for the NASCAR XFINITY Series championship in 2015.”

The 39-year-old Sadler has 260 career starts in the series with 16 poles and 128 top-10 finishes. He is also a three-time winner in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series. He is one of 24 drivers to win at least one race in each of NASCAR’s three national series (Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series).

OneMain, previously CitiFinancial, has a prior sponsor relationship with RFR.

“They are a first-class organization from top to bottom,” said Steve Newmark, president of RFR. “We enjoyed a great partnership in the past and we look forward to reigniting that relationship moving forward next season.

“(Elliott) is a seasoned veteran and a winner on the track. He brings a reputation as a fierce competitor and I know that our entire organization … will benefit from his experience next season.”

Sadler will join current RFR drivers Ryan Reed and Chris Buescher.
