As of the writing of this article, the Bill Elliott to Roush Fenway Racing deal, which is reported on Sirius Speedway by Dave Moody, is unofficial. The 54 year old veteran from Dawsonville, Georgia is eligible to compete in the 2010 Budweiser Shootout unlike present driver of the No. 6 UPS Ford David Ragan, also from Georgia.

Elliott competes in a limited schedule for the Wood Brothers comprising of twelve or thirteen races. While the Wood Brothers are one of the most esteemed organizations in the NASCAR garage, it would be nice to see Elliott in top notch equipment again. He stepped away from full-time competition following the 2003 season after three seasons with Evernham Motorsports. Prior to his stint with Evernham, he was a driver/owner for seven seasons. Since then, he has competed on a limited basis.

His last win was at Rockingham in October of 2003.

Elliott drove a Chip Ganassi Racing Dodge in the 2005 Budweiser Shootout.

For all of you David Ragan fans, do not fret. Elliott has displayed no interest in returning to the full-time grind. Roush Fenway Racing and UPS are committed to the Unadilla, Georgia native for the 2010 season.

Sirius Speedway also states that Ken Schrader, another grizzled veteran, could drive the No. 82 Red Bull Racing Toyota, as current driver Scott Speed is ineligible. Schrader is the 1989 and 1990 winner of the Shootout. Schrader has not competed in a Sprint Cup event since Phoenix in November of 2008.
