== Career ==
He started the 2003 season strong being as high as 9th in points and got a top 10 at Bristol but has since regressed after his runner-up finish in the first Michigan race. He was challenging drivers for top 15 in points but fell to 31st in points. He also won the Big Junker award because he had the most DNFs with 20. Stepping it up ten notches in 2004 was the norm, as Sloan was able to consistently challenge for top 10s on a regular basis and was in the top ten in points through the first eight races, after falling to eleventh after Talladega, he got his first career win at Martinsville on a thrilling pass on teammate Rhys Brown. He still kept the consistency going and stayed in the top 10 long enough to stay in championship race with six races to go. He kept that in the norm as he was barely able to stay in the title fight, being sixth in points heading into Homestead, 146 points out of the lead. After a good outing, he closed that big gap, but finished sixth in the standings. Had this been the modern playoff format, he would have been the champion.
