Road America announced that NASCAR Cup champion Bill Elliott is entered to compete at the WeatherTech International Challenge with Brian Redman presented by HAWK July 19-22. He will be driving a previously raced Dodge NASCAR Stock Car.
Elliott, the 1988 NASCAR Cup champion, is one of the most accomplished
drivers in American auto racing. Bill’s son Chase is currently a NASCAR Monster Energy Cup series driver for arguably the most powerful team in the sport, Hendrick Motorsports.
Widely known as one of the largest vintage racing gatherings in the United States, over 450 cars are expected to participate and both racecars and sports cars from all walks of vintage are welcome. With 16 different groups subdivided into several sub-classes the breadth of cars has something for everyone and there will be no shortage of spectacular racing.
