[Bryan Blanton]

Hi everyone i was just curious what team bill elliott is currently driving for in nascar?

How many teams has bill elliott ran for this year someone was telling me he's ran for 3 different teams is this true?

Hey Bryan , hows it going , Bill intially started the season with Everham Racing , then ran with Waltrip's Burger King Ride , then most recently with Davis Racing & Red Bull , until A. J. entered the picture. He is apparently looking at other options with J&R Racing if I,am not mistakin. Chris is the Awesome Bill from Dawsonville
expert...Man ! fellow Georgian ya know , so he'll probably have the up to date detailed info...so your correct that Bill has assisted 3 if not more Teams this yr...Baby !!    Great Driver...ya.. he is...TY !!

[Chris]

Well,...
You're almost right TY,...
Actually Bill started of the season at Daytona with Ginn Racing as team mates to Nemechek and Marlin in a Chevy.  (Boy I bet his daddy was rolling over in his grave,.. Bill driving a Chevy,.. Ol Geogre was "Ford" man all the way)
Then the next three races Bill drove for Mikey Waltrip in the Burger King car...
Then he drove for Evernham in the #19 car after Ray and Mayfield parted ways.
Then he drove for Mikey Waltrip a race again
Then he drove for the #37 team (RJ Racing) with that special throw back part scheme (Melling Oil Pumps)
The he drove for the Red Bull Team at Lowes...
Then last week at Atlanta he drove for the RJ Racing team again
He is again scheduled to drive the #37 car again at Texas this coming weekend.

SO all in all he has driven for 5 different team in 2006.

Boy I bet his daddy was rolling over in his grave,.. Bill driving a Chevy,.. Ol Geogre was "Ford" man all the way.

Yeah, Chris, but back then, it really WAS a Ford.

I thought bill elliott's dad might still be alive? Did something happen to bill's dad in the past few years?

[Bryan Blanton]

Why recently is bill finishing way back in the 30's and 40's?

Hey Bryan! What's Up? I will tell you that it's not B.Elliott. You have to figure that he doesn't really have time to get settled with any certain team. One weekend he is here and the next weekend he is over there driving different body styles,Driving for different Crew chiefs,team's,owner's and the list could go on and on. This would be tough on ANY driver. I think it mean's alot when a driver has a place to hang his Helmet and leave it there all season. I hope to see B.Elliott back in Winners Circle someday. You never know what could happen.

[Chris]

what FHH said is 100% correct... means a lot to be with one team and get settled in...
Another major thing is about all the runs Elliott has made this season has been doing Research and development for owners.

That #00 for Waltrip is all about R&D. 
The one all out effort Bill made to run well was the week they run the Melling Paint scheme... He finished 16th that week (and with a team as low funded as the #37 team is)

The deal he had with Red Bull (if he had still done it was also R&D.. It was all about having a good driver drive the car,.. so the team could learn where it was,.. what it needed to do,.. and what the car needed to be competitive.
Why they decided to drop that deal is a mystery to me.
SO far they have made zero races and onely one race planned left to run.
Not that AJ's not a good driver,.. but the plan was to have someone familiar with CUP cars so they could get quick accurate feedback.
AJ's gonna be learning on the fly, and may give them inaccurate feedback,.. or worse yet crash.

As far as George Elliott... gosh he died several years ago.  I'm thinking it wasn't too much apart from when Melling died??
I did a search... it was Sept of 1998... so 8 years ago.

Right On F325 and Welcome ! Ya when Fords were FORDS...Baby ! Davy in the 1992 Havoline #28... Black on Black ! That and Mark's
2002 Black Winne-Dixie #60 weeeew...those were cars....Man !

[flamehothead]

To this day I think that Mark Martins Winn-Dixie car WAS and IS the BEST looking car on the circuit. The car was real mean looking . I know this has nothing to do with B.Elliott, But I just had to share that with all of you.

[Tyyrus]

With ya all the way there Flammin ! Did ya ever get a chance to see it up close and personal ? I did @ Michigan , while I was at pit row Autograph Session. Pic's and all , then found the film got over exposed
lost it all ... talk about a bummer. One of these Days I,ll make it to Marks Museum , which is where
the Championship 2003 c/w Checkered Flags Winne-Dixie Car is Displayed...still drool when ever I think
of that Car and Mark's sucess @ Michigan in Busch....Baby !

[flamehothead]

Sorry about your film tyyrus. I saw the Winn-Dixie car a couple of time's. It seem's like he won everytime he got into that car. Mark Martin + Winn-Dixie Car = WIN.

[Tyyrus]

Yeh , your right on there FHH , just seems to be some mystic with certain cars and drivers..Eh ! Everyone can
relate to that Black #3 also..another mean lookin car...Baby ! But alas , I regress once again , sorry Chris & Bryan..this is Awesome Bills's Post Location. I remember too Bill's Winning Season....whow he could,t do anything , but Win in that Ride....Man !  Those were the Days...whoo gettin alittle Sentimental...Baby !

I think that you are talking about The Awesome Red and White #9 Ford T-Bird. Now that was a match made in heaven. I have been a R.Wallace fan for year's and it seemed everytime he drove the Black and Gold Duece that he called Midnight he was in the top 5 or he won the race.
