Bill Elliott

NASCAR legend Bill Elliott will compete in a Thunder Roadsters race on Atlanta Motor Speedway’s quarter-mile “Thunder Ring” following Saturday’s E-Z-GO 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race.

Elliott, who will also compete in Sunday’s Kobalt Tools 500 and has five-career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series wins in Atlanta, previously won his only appearance on the “Thunder Ring” in a Thunder Roadster.

The Legends races will immediately follow the conclusion of the E-Z-GO 200 scheduled for 2:00 p.m.

In addition to Elliott, three-time Thursday Thunder champion and current ARCA competitor Casey Roderick will compete against Elliott in the event. Roderick currently competes for the Bill Elliott Racing Team. Roderick will compete in a Roadster owned and usually driven by Atlanta Motor Speedway president Ed Clark.

Also Legends competitor and Driver Development Protege Trey Poole will be on hand to compete in the dual driving a Thunder Roadster usually wheeled by Russ Sutton of Monolith Hospitality. The action between Elliott and two of his driver development drivers should prove rather interesting to say the least.

The Legends races will mark the final date of Atlanta Motor Speedway’s Winter Flurry race series.
