Bill retired due to a health issue of some type. It has never been revealed what that issue was to my knowledge. We all still wonder what that 2004 season could have been like.
Yet just did 2 or 3 seasons in the srx series
@@robertwagner5873 well yeah, whatever the health issue was got corrected. In his book, all that is mentioned is a health issue. There isn't any detail about it.
You can tell how popular a driver is or was when they request that their name be removed from the ballot to give other drivers a shot at being voted most popular driver. Voted most popular driver 16 times in his career, he could have been as many as 18 times if he hadn't requested in 2002 for his name to be removed from the ballot.
It was refreshing to hear a driver be soft spoken and humble about their presence in the sport and their growing fanbase. Rather than get cocky or arrogant, he stuck with the mindset of "I'm just happy to be here,"
Bill raced for 37 seasons, a record he still holds with Terry Labonte. That's a good reason to step down.
MR. WILLAM ELLIOT BUT THE FORD MARQUE ON THE MAP , WE MISS A GREAT DRIVER & COMPETITOR & HUMBLE BEING , GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY!!!
He certainly put Ford on the map along side the Wood Brothers and Bud Moore 😊
