Thanks for sharing the article.. Sounds like Bill still loves the racing ! I know when I go to Michigan in August that the team will have a better day. Doesn’t matter though-We wouldn’t be going if Bill wasn’t driving (racing). Hats off to you William Clyde Elliott ! Racing is just in your blood !….

As a mega fan of Bill’s (an trust me fan worship is not my thing),I have dreaded his full retirement for years. As every season goes by, I look for some sort of rumor or news that he will decide to grace us with his presence on the tack (at least part time) for yet another round. The article gives us at least a glimmer of hope that NASCAR 2011 may still include my favorite sports legend.

I too am a Elliott fan for life. I am from Atlanta and I started pulling for Bill since he was a Georgia boy too. As I watched Bill race over the years I soon found out that there were so many reasons to pull for him than just being from my home state. I always say, “If I were lucky enough to ever make it to any sort of legitimate racing series, I would make my racing style just like Elliott.” First class individual that races hard and clean every single time. They just don’t make racers like that anymore. Bill continuing to race in NASCAR’s top series is good for racing and good for NASCAR I will never forget the Brickyard 400 win. That right there shows how much guts, determination and talent Bill has. He worked Rusty Wallace over for several laps and never once thought about putting a bumper on him to steal such a big win. He earned that win fair and square and I respect that type of racing. Keep digging Bill. That 21 car is on the verge of a breakout race…and maybe even a breakout full season.

Be assured that I am a Bill Elliott fan. I have a real desire to see Bill race and race well, Bill is the only reason I still watch NASCAR. So Bill; whether you race full-time or part-time I’m pulling for you..Go Bill

Bill cant wait to see you race at chicagoland speedway.I’m your biggest fan and have been for the past 25 years.I had the oppurtunity of interviewing you for your fan club at Indy back in 2006.You still got what it takes.Hopefully Hyder will have the 21 car dialed in for a good run.

As a life long fan, I hope you continue for a long time. Last year at Kansas Speedway you were signing autographs before your qualifying run and I asked you if you’d consider 1 or 2 more full seasons. You said if the right deal came along. I for one am praying, assuming the sponsorship was there, that you go back in the red #9 next season since Kasey is moving to Hendrick.

RPM & WBR gonna merge? Need to unless something better is in the offing. I know there has to be a sponsor somewhere in the WORLD that wants a former champion with Bill’s personality and talent. And a “somewhat” guarantee with the provisional, which he has used only a couple of times since hooking up with the Woods. How many times in how many races has Bill had to use the provisional with the Woods? And how many times have they missed a race since they teamed up? I can only think of 2 or so. Somebody get on that and let me know. I have an Inquiring mind.

I’ve been a Bill Elliott fan since 1984 and I got to meet Bill at the Kroger store in 1990. Bill you may not have 200 victories, or 7 championships. But I never seen you wreck someone to win, or have thousands of people climb the frontstretch fence to give the number 3 the middle finger and I never saw you get booed by 160,000 people like the number 24 got at bristol in 1998. But what I have seen was you on the pole at my first nascar race, and a stratigist who is well respected with 10 to go running in the top 5. I’ll be glad to shake your hand again some day if I get a chance. Dale ~ from TN
I am and will be a Bill Eliott fan for life too. No one better than Bill a good clean race driver. Hes the best hope you get to a Victory soon on the Nextel Races you race.

BILL,.why not take over the no. 9 car next year. This seems like the natural thing to do.what a match up, awsom Bill and the KING, not to memtion the no. 9 (maby the red coco cola car). You reborn Ford in the eightys, (wow) maby again.

I agree with JMA post ! Go drive the number 9 next year. Driving for the king maybe the thing to do. I don’t mean to sound negative toward to woods brothers but if you look at nascar history, they havent done much since david pearson except a win here and there. It would be cool to see Bill finish his racing career in the number 9, that’s Bills signature car number. As far as full time or part time that’s another story but what ever Bills does, he has my support as a fan.
