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...
Too bad he cant qualify at Gas City....:doh:

Sorry to get everyones patties in a bunch here.Im not saying he was never good Im just not a fan.Everyone has there days and at some point there days start winding down.I was at the little 500 last year and he put on a hell of a drive.I actually think he would have won if he wouldnt have burnt his tires up getting to cottle.Let him go put on a show at the chili bowl he has a right just like the other 292 drivers.Im just saying I personally wont be pulling for him.And Im sorry for the comment it was wrong.Ill keep my opinion to myself from now on.

Maybe that could be the "head on the nail", neither of these "rock throwers" could even dream of the career Tony has had, and from their comments, now that they have removed all doubt, even a dream would be an outside shot! Bob
