Have some respect for one of the most accomplished race car drivers of this era. A guy who put together a great career, winning a boatload of races, all while being one of the most fan-friendly drivers I've ever met and having a life (and career) outside of racing. And, he's found a way to do it without seriously injuring himself. It's one of the most impressive careers I can think of....

And oh yeah, he's still plenty competitive in the races he runs, which includes the Chili Bowl and the Little 500 (the most challenging sprint car race of all). He ran well last year in Tulsa in what we all could recognize is an under-funded car. Tony Elliott is a champion...
