Bill Elliott, Please retire.

[RSD]

You were my hero back in the 80's, bringing all the Ford fans lots to cheer about.
Now you are driving a Brand X that has no chance of competing.

We want to remember you as a Champion Ford:9: driver not some back marker Chevy driver.

Hey RSD he even has his SON in a Chevy . I don't think there is any hope for Bill. Once you go down that muddy track IT'S OVER. SORRY

[TeamBlueOval]

I cant believe the rides Bill has been taking. He's a champion of the sport though and he deserves to continue driving if that's what he wants to do IMO. It isn't like he chose to leave Ford this time - the Woods replaced him.

[yatesracing]

- the Woods replaced him.>>>>and his Son. Please don't say Bill had nothing to do with that.

i'm still a fan of Bill. i still don't know the whole story behind the :21: whether Bill went to hendrick b/c of Chase being with them or if the woods told Bill he was out of the ride & hendrick jumped on Chase immediately afterwards. either way, i still like Bill for what he's done for the woods when they were down.

Is it my imagination that Carl's Teammates are ignoring him????????????

[TeamBlueOval]

What the heck is Bill doing today? He has just got out of the car and JJ Yeley is in. ?!?

@Yates, it's your imagination. Carl is running with Ambrose. He doesn't need one of his teammates. They are doing fine.

[JiggaStyles09]

i'm thinking Bill was used for his pcp to make sure they got in the race?

[TeamBlueOval]

Still, why would he get out mid race? Yeley will NOT get the points, Bill does.

[yatesracing]

i I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he didn't like the 2 car hook-up type of racing.

[TeamBlueOval]

JJ was running pretty good with Terry Labonte when he got in the car. So, the car was decent ... why would Bill get out? It just confuses!

I attended the June MIS races from 1983-89 and saw Bill take home the checkered flag in 1984,1985, 1986 and 1989. I'm glad I didn't go to the June race in 1990 when Bill had a half a lap lead with a dozen to go when his engine expired due to a slow oil leak. To make matters worse, Earnhardt inherited the lead and won. Good thing I didn't go, as it was bad enough having to stomache Earnhardt winning the June 1987 race at MIS. Davey Allison would have passed him for the win if the race was a lap longer. And those two June races are the only times Earnhardt ever won at MIS, as he never won one of the August races. It takes a smooth driving style to win at MIS, which was not part of Earnhardt's skill set.
