Bill Elliott in line to drive at Michael Waltrip Racing?
Quote selected text Published April 16th, 2007 in NASCAR News
There is speculation that Bill Elliott may be under consideration for a ride with Michael Waltrip Racing’s three-team operation.
Elliott, 50 and only a part-time driver these days, would have six championship provisionals, guaranteeing him a spot in at least six races.
However Elliott, despite the multimillion-dollar contracts being waved at him by more than one team, has been less than enthusiastic about becoming too deeply involved in the sport again.
- Red Bull to Run Elliott in 3 Cup Races this Fall
- Elliott to drive No. 21 Wood Bros Ford during Speedweeks
- Report: Terry Labonte to replace Michael Waltrip for Brickyard-CONFIRMED
- Elliott switches teams for Atlanta, Allmendinger will drive
- Elliott still undecided on 2007 Cup plans
They should put him in the NAPA car , its performance has been the worst , even if it is the team owner doing the driving.
If I was him I def. wouldn’t join a shi**y @ss toyota team. Toyota needs to get out of the sport.
He sure as hell better not.
I have liked Bill since I started watching Nascar when I was 6 (21 now)
He was my favourite driver.
I hope he doesn’t join that shitty ass racing team.
Bill was good in his time but I think he needs to stay retired . The team that Michael has put together is a new team they need tim to get their mess together . I think Mike needs to wake up and realize that no one can jump into racing and be a winning team right off the bat. Especially with a new cAR and body style you have to learn what will work with the car and what wont. The crews have to learn how to work together. I cant say Bill Elliot is the magic answer for Michael I think he needs some help from toyota and some help from some engineers on set ups and help ith setting cars up.
Hell ya, Just what Mikey needs. Lets see what Bill can do! Nathan in South Carolina
