This car belongs to and is driven by
Bill Elliott, more commonly known by his nickname, which
is "Million Dollar Bill." This is because
during the 1985 season, he won a record 11 races and
the inaugural Winston Million, a $1 million bonus from
R.J. Reynolds for winning the
Daytona
500, the Winston 500 at Talladega, and the Southern
500 at Darlington in the same season. Bill Elliott was
a busy driver that year!
