blksn8k2 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Hendrick Motorsports has signed Bill Elliott's son Chase to a multi-year driver development contract. Hendrick will provide support to his family owned former Ford based late model team. They will be switching to Chevy power. I smell Ray Evernham at work again. That a-hole has always managed to lure some of Ford's most promising young drivers to whatever program he happens to be working on and he is now back with Hendrick. Whether it was Jeff Gordon during his first stint with Hendrick and GM or Kasey Kahne to his own Dodge based team he has been the scourge of Ford Racing throughout his career. He doesn't need to be able to recognize talent as long as Ford is in racing. Hell, even his current wife, Erin Crocker, had a Ford development contract. http://chaseelliott.com/blog/?p=711 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bifs66 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 After reading about the Elliots and HENDRICKCAR, I'm going to trash my full size cutout of Bill Elliot that I've had in my garage for the last 20yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Any father who wouldn't take that same deal for their 15 year old son just because of the name of the manufacturer on the car should be taken out and shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Chase Shmase. After this past Sunday I'm glad to see Trevor Bayne in a Ford. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonynelson Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Chase Shmase. After this past Sunday I'm glad to see Trevor Bayne in a Ford. :D Trevor Bayne wins the Daytona 500: in what has to be one of the biggest upsets in NASCAR history, 20-year old #21-Trevor Bayne won the 2011 Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway on the 2nd green-white-checkered finish. It is Bayne's 1st career NASCAR Sprint Cup win in only his 2nd start [ties a record with Jamie McMurray]. The famed Wood Brothers Racing team won their 5th Daytona 500, 15th overall at Daytona and 98th Sprint Cup race. It is the Wood Brothers first win since Elliott Sadler won for them at Bristol in March of 2001. Bayne is the youngest winner ever of the Daytona 500 at 20 years, 1 day old. The win is Ford's 60th win for the manuafacturer. #99-Edwards finished 2nd followed by #34-Gilliland all FORDS =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30 OTT 6 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 "Chase" doesn't seem like a very good name for a race car driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
