For the first time in his long career, Bill Elliott will become an official member of the Chevrolet family. Phoenix Racing has announced that Elliott will pilot the team’s #09 Chevrolet in a minimum of 18 Sprint Cup races throughout the 2011 season. The schedule of planned races has not yet been released, but the team has said that if they can get the sponsorship needed to run the full schedule, then they will race every week.
In order to run the Sprint Cup schedule, the team has announced they will only run the three Nationwide restrictor plate races in Daytona and Talladega. The team will continue to use Hendrick engines and chassis. Nick Harris will serve as Elliott’s crew chief. Send me your thoughts on this story.
