		Bill Elliott (Born October 8, 1955 in Dawsonville, Georgia) is a driver in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup series.
		Elliott fielded his own Winston Cup race team from 1995 until 2000, but was never as successful as he was with Melling and the Junior Johnson owned team, where he finished second in the 1992 points standings and lost the Winston Cup Championship to Alan Kulwicki by a mere 10 points.
		Elliott also holds the track record at both Talladega and Daytona, neither of which is likely to be broken due to the current use of restrictor plates at both tracks.
