- In this absolutely packed episode, Bill Elliott discusses his Winston Million victory at Darlington Raceway, the disappointment of losing out on the 1985 championship, his all-time fastest NASCAR qualifying lap of 212.809 mph at Talladega, a heart-stopping near-miss in a Georgia Air National Guard F-16 AND his 1988 Winston Cup championship.
We were one of the many families of fans that travelled to Dawsonville the day after he won the million. The town's population probably increased 10 fold that day. They managed to tear Bill away from work briefly for a parade down main street as he rode on the top of what may have been the town's only fire truck with a police escort. I was 15 at the time and it is one of my great memories.
My absolute all time favorite, I'm as big of a Bill fan as they are I followed him since 79 ,I so badly wanted to talk to him in talladega but I heard he was shy like I was .I'll probably never get to meet Bill, my dad went to his shop in Dawsonville and sent me some photos in 99 I think it was . Bill has always been a great ambassador for the sport and his ability to control the high speed Kaos in a Ford made him my childhood hero ! Much respect on and off the track!
Bill is the is a great person especially after he got un shy I saw him at the Appalachian fair 3 straight years sign autographs for 5 hours or more each time no other drivers like Earnhardt done that. Bill is what are sport desperately needs more off.he doesn't get the respect he deserves either he was as good as any driver on the track.
Bill is the best driver the best person that I ever talk to very honest person l.d.k
Um, he didn't finish 3rd in points in 1985. He was 158 points ahead of third. JFC.
Story of earnhardt calling Bill Elliott after the Winston and what I have heard they best friends ever since
No wonder you see pics of Chase as a youngster with Dale back then
Holy crap I would have shit myself!😮
That day in the 1987 Winston is the day I lost any respect for Earnhardt. I was always glad to see him either lose or wreck!
Im with my man awesome bill from Dawsonville "no such thing as too fast"
The next gen car is too slow! Come on Man!!! Get it together NASCAR!!!!
30 years in the USAF and I never once saw an ejection seat "uncharged"
No million !!! Bill's wife said $125,000 is what they got.
That's sad but true probly I'd say atleast 500 thousand went off the top for taxes
Not to mention Harry owned the team, not Bill
How the Elliot Bros. and the Dion Bros. from New England are so similar. See ya at the Cobra shootout Dave Dion.
I always hear Bill saying he wasn't the best car at the 1985 Southern 500. Funny how everything that was faster broke.
Searched the internet, and no sign of that copit video of the mid air with the f-15
its mout their
What’s up with all the commercials? Going for the record?
👌 👍 Bill
When I was watching Nascarman twitter, i noticed some of your tweet in his timeline, and decided to check. I haven't listen to the interview yet, but I will shortly.
But I have one question : Why separate the podcast/interview in 3 parts? I have no problem with it, just find it weird.
