Quote selected text Published May 17th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Bill Elliott and the Wood Brothers racing team are giving long-time Ford fans something to celebrate next week in the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. Elliott has agreed to come out of his semi-retirement to drive the Wood’s famous #21 Ford.
Elliott, who had his greatest racing success driving a #9 Ford, will be back behind the blue oval logo for the first time since he drove his own #94 in 2000. The #21, which has been driven this season by Ken Schrader and Jon Wood, is outside the top 35 in owner points, but Elliott has a past-champion’s provisional at his disposal if he fails to qualify on speed.
“That will allow is to spend time getting the car ready for the race instead of worrying about qualifying,” Elliott said. “And it means a lot to me to drive that car.” Elliott has also filed an entry for the following week at Dover.
- “Fatback” back as crew chief for Elliott and the #21
- Wood Brothers, Bill Elliott sign Heinz to the No 21
- Wood Bros and crew chief Nead split
- Elliott to drive No. 21 Wood Bros Ford during Speedweeks
- Wood Brothers misses first Cup race since 2000
Oh, Bill, come save us with your Awesomeness…
Oh, Please…. I do understand that the Wood brothers have to do something, though.
