Million Dollar Bill!! Record setting 11 wins (85')in addition to winning the Winston Million(Daytona,Darlington,Tal
ledega) He's the reason for restrictor plates! A Talledega 202.398mph pole and the 1987 record setting lap of 212.809mph and up during the race. 1988 Champ!! Although he really should have been in 85',87',and 92'.From 84 - 02' voted most popular driver 16 times.ESPN driver of decade (80's). Hall of Fame 2007! One of the BEST! AWESOME BILL from DAWSONVILLE!!! -
Probably the angle of the landing.

I wonder if it would've been better or worse if he'd tumbled as opposed to landing like he did.

@negtype13 No, Bobby Allison's flight through the fencing in 1987 - coming after six years of such near-disasters - was the reason for restrictor plates. I do not understand why people want to perpetuate the myth that Elliott is why NASCAR went to restrictor plates.

rusty leading at talladega? wow

Elliott nearly did the same flip that Kenny Schrader did the year before.

WTF worse statement ever...

i saw it, it was very good!

If you think of it though, out of Rudd, and the Bodine Brothers, only Geoff did better, but in the end, at least Elliott wasnt in as dire straits as either Bodine or Rudd was.
With some help, I think Ellott could of done quite well with his own team.

he hurt his leg, seatbelts wouldnt protect from that
I read an excerpt from Bill's book where he said the rescue workers pulled him out of the car "like a weed" as opposed to taking care not to injure him further.
Why are a few crewman on the backstretch?

Well I thought of that, but then I figured that they should be on the grandstands so that they could see better.
