Bill Elliot answers WHY????

Bill Elliott Uncertain about plans: Bill Elliott isn't sure when he'll be driving again. He started the season with Phoenix Racing and had planned to run 17 races with the team throughout 2011. But since his release from Phoenix last month, he's only qualified and started the Talladega race for #46 Whitney Motorsports. Elliott used a past champion's provisional to get the team in the race, then turned the driving duties over to J.J. Yeley during the event. "I'm taking it one day at a time," Elliott said. "I don't know [what I'll do]. I'm just kind of on the sidelines going fishing, you know what I mean? Ain't much been happening. If you look at where the economy and stuff is, that's pretty much status quo."(SceneDaily)(4-20-2011)

Okay, but that still doesn't answer WHY he got out of the 46 car mid-race?? That just doesn't make any sense to me.

The only reason he got into the car in the first place was because of the past champions provisional. That's what the team needed and that's what Bill provided.

He stayed to start he race though. Why not just let JJ start the race? Just confuses me.

My only guess is that he wanted to make it to South Boston for his son's K&N East series race, it rained out on Saturday so they ran on Sunday. Why he even bothered to start the race I am not sure, but I believe that could be why he didn't stay in the car.
