Elliott back to roots, no word on 2007 plans yet
Quote selected text Published September 15th, 2006 in NASCAR NewsBill Elliott is going back to his roots this weekend, racing his own car at the track where he learned to drive race cars. Elliott will run his Late Model car in the feature event at Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, where he once was a regular competitor.
“That place has a lot of history for me,” Elliott said. “I’ve been going there since the early ’70s.” Elliott last raced at Dixie in 1991. As in his early years, Elliott will be racing on Saturday with an engine prepared by his brother, Ernie Elliott. His new car was taken for a shake-down run on Thursday by dirt racing veteran Ray Cook.
“I think it’ll be competitive,” Elliott said. Elliott’s 2007 NASCAR plans are uncertain. He’s weighing several offers and expects to decide soon.
