Bill is the reason I watched NASCAR,,Was a Ford guy before anybody else drove mustangs and remember a friend saying " you need to come watch this race, Elliot just lapped the field under green"
Bill Elliott still holds the record for fastest lap in a Nascar at damn near 113 mph .....Ford Thunderbirds were impossible to beat thats why they mandated restrictor plates because the chevys couldnt keep up
@@BenDecko2023 Neither Bill or his son Chase won all of those Most Popular Driver Awards in surveys conducted in Georgia. They were all won in legitimate NASCAR sanctioned contests. I know Dale Earnhardt sold a ton of souvenirs and was near the top in sales alltime, but I respectfully doubt he sold more than all other drivers combined. He may have in fact been #1 in alltime souvenir sales, but for sone reason I kind of think Dale Earnhardt,Jr. may be right up there with his dad in souvenir sales. We know Dale Jr. is the richest NASCAR driver of all time with a Net Worth over $ 400,000,000 million which dwarfs his dads ,and all other NASCAR drivers.Thsnks for your input BenDecko.
@@tupole272 I never said he did not sell tons of souvenirs. He was a great driver with lots of fans. Anyone who says " Nobody likes Bill Elliott " as this set of posts under that title is lying. Bill Elliott won 16 most popular driver awards and Dale Earnhardt won ZERO while he was living, but he won one in 2001 posthumously after he died out of sympathy and respect . The posts under this title are not about souvenir sales.....
He sure did ! As a matter of fact he liked to put all of the drivers in the wall . That's why many fans despised him. How ironic and sad that " Ironheads " greed is what got him killed on Feburary 18, 2001when he tried to block every move of the entire field on that last lap last turn crash which was his own fault. Remember the joke that was going around before that fateful race............. ( What is black and white and looks good on a wall ? ). Sadly he died doing what he specialized in...... driving dangerously by blocking , or tapping any driver from behind if that was the only way to get around them !
They must be from Bahhhstunnn. Those nothunn folks talk so funny. They live in Bahhhstunnn and dwive cahhhss around that woke joke Havaaaddd Univuhhhsity which has low standudds for enwollmunt for those who can't qualify because they want divuhhhhsity.
Grew up in a Chevy family and a Waltrip fan. Was only one ford I rooted for...Bill Elliott👍
Bill Elliott will never be forgotten.

What race was that?
A driver who could win without wrecking the competition.
So true !!! Dale Earnhardt was dirty knocking people out because he couldnt win fair n square

Well done! A great time capsule of Nascar racing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've watched racing since I was 3 or 4 years old am 57 now. Seen the good and bad in racing.
How many Most Popular Driver awards did Awesome Bill win ? How many Most Popular Driver awards did Dale Earnhardt Senior win ? Nuff said !

@@BenDecko2023this is 100% fakenews and has been debunked.

@@stevekelley7738 I know he won the most popular driver awards. But fans of anything weather it’s music or sports speak with their wallets
212.809 mph
Bill Elliott has won the most popular driver as much as anybody
More than anyone
ummm he has won it way way way way way more than anyone ever.
He won it 16 times only 1 more than Junior
only because he pulled his name out of it, Had he not he would have just kept on winning.@@JJA1987
@@JJA1987 Bill would have won 17 but he withdrew his name so Sr could win the year he died
Title is clickbait.
Yep
Winston Cup era was great

Bill had to remove himself from most popular driver so somebody else could win
