Herman Marion Sadler III (born April 24, 1969) is an American professional stock car racing driver and broadcaster, businessman and politician.
He competed in NASCAR as a driver from 1992 to 2019. In the late 2000s and the 2010s, he scaled back his driving and worked for Speed/Fox as a broadcaster, including as a reporter on NASCAR RaceDay and as a pit reporter on their Truck Series broadcasts.
After leaving NASCAR altogether after 2019, he ran for political office as a Republican in his home state of Virginia for the newly redrawn 17th district in the State Senate in the 2023 election. He lost the Republican primary election on June 20 to Emily Brewer, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates.[1]
He is the brother of Elliott Sadler, who is also a former NASCAR driver.
