Welcome to Elliott Racing

"Giving Back Tour"

Our 40th year racing will be our most exciting yet. Nonie and I are truly grateful to all those who helped get us ready for this season. Our crew has done their work and we are ready to battle with many excellent race teams throughout this season. We have been so blessed to be celebrating our 35th year with Quaker State. It is our goal to promote the Quaker State brand, and all of our valuable sponsors in a professional manner at every event on and off the track. All our sponsors are listed on the right side of this page, we thank every one for being part of our racing team. We also extend a special thanks to those who sponsored kids bikes. Hopefully we can get a picture of the winner with their bike and post it on our site. ...Has this milestone been a hectic journey?...maybe a little...but not when you consider the honour we've had meeting so many great fans, racers, promoters, sponsors, and families. We've made new friends along the way, some have and will be life long. When you think about the people, and that is the most important aspect of what we are doing, it's been worth every invested second.

Exchanging Of Cards......Not Changing of The Guard

After The Parts Source 141

Sharing Hero Cards With A Future Star

After the Delaware 141 Jesse Pontello and I gave each other Hero Cards. Maybe one day I could be working for Jesse, you know, sort of like, "the changing of the guard"...but words of wisdom to Jesse..."be patient". In 2005 Jesse drove our CVM, picking up some good finsihes and his first ever checker flag in a stock car. This past winter he made the move to race a Delaware Late Model. On Friday June 27th Jesse and I got to race against each other for the first time. This coming Saturday we'll get to do it again as he brings his blue Monte Carlo #88 to my part of the woods, Flamboro Speedway. There are many young kids in racing today, none are more polite or friendlier than this youngster. All of us at Elliott Racing, wish him and his family a most exciting and fun filled journey in this awesome sport.

No Rain But Lots Of Laps

Quaker State Car At Delaware

Over the years we have been frustrated by the inconsistancy of weather forescasts. This past week the reports were up and down like the stock market. As you can see by this picture the weather turned out great and no rain showed up until the race was over, our maintenance was done (that's right, our crew changed the oil/filter, gears and a nut & bolt check) and the car loaded. We didn't burn up the track but we ran better than the last time we were here with an 11th place finish. We were happy with the fact we ran okay and came home in one piece.

Delaware Bound....Bring An Umbrella? NO!

Part Source 141 This Friday

We survived last Saturday night, and no, we didn't get way in front like we hoped. We did however, get way behind, which can be just as safe and managed to avoid one huge wreck on lap 9. Anyway, we are in good shape to head to Delaware Speedway for the Part Source 141 special. It will be our 2nd big race of 08, the first being the Sauble Speedway Margarita 150. The weather man is calling for some wild weather...intermittent tornado's with occasional forest fires...okay, not that weird, but it seems as we approach every week end we are warned of the pending wash out for Saturday and Sunday. It must drive baseball players, golphers, bar-b-que people...oh ya, and racers..nuts. The cottage people don't care about the weather anymore, they have the constant increase of gas that has them in a frenzy. Racers don't care about the gas, not when new tires, and the chance of severly wrecking your car are your biggest costs to avoid. We are ready to go for Friday, if it rains we'll be ready for Saturday, if it rains the rest of the year, we'll be ready for the Sanat Clause parade.

Warm Ups Okay

Another Bad Night

Practice Usually Safe...Features Another Story

For the past two weeks we've had problems in the feature. In both races we were running in the top three and were involved in a wreck. Now we are worried that bad things come in three's. If they do, we're in trouble this week. So my advice to all our competitors is to stay clear of us. Maybe the best thing to do is to let me get way ahead, that way you'll be safe. We are considering putting a Fire Truck sign on the back of our car, 'STAY BEHIND THIS VEHICLE 150 Feet'. If we finish in a good spot, like first, the curse will be lifted, then we all can go back to normal for June 28th. I know this is a rare request, but let's try it for one week.

Family Jury Finds David........."Not Guilty"

Side By Side

Spotter Reconsiders No Call

Last night (June 13th)we watched the Cogeco Cable TV footage of the Grisdale Triple Crown race on June 7th. What we expected to see was David's car leaping into turn three and making hard contact with our car. That was what I felt sitting in the car, that he drove into the back of our car. After watching the taped race, Nonie, our daughter Shirley, Leanne Ruelens, our spotter Jim and me, it was clear to all of us, that David got a good run on us coming off turn two and for the first half of the back chute he was at our quarter panel but near the end of the straight he was up to our rear wheel. Jim said right after watching the incident "I should have made the call". The call he was referring to was "car low". There is more on this than just the no call, a bizzar twist that made things much worse. The whole story and exoneration of David is on our site message board. To David and his crew...."we apologize for putting you through so much grief after the race". This mess was not your fault.
