Some time back I read something about this, but may not have it right. Also as I understood it, when Bill retires the award will be named after him?
He won it I think 16 times?

Yep you got it right on all accounts. Heck of a guy. I hope he gets at least 1 more win before he goes.

invoice became and nevertheless is a humble and gifted race vehicle motive force. He became voted as such simply by fact of his down abode goodness on and rancid the song. An occasion of it is the reality that the 12 months Dale Sr died invoice had his call removed from the checklist and out of the vote casting. it isn't been all approximately invoice, to invoice. He continually gave credit the place credit became due and continually thanked his sponsors group and followers for each and all of the help. It became a kin affair and he allowed us to be a factor of that. at present he's assisting yet another kin that has been around NASCAR simply by fact all of it began. returned proving his humility and love for the sport and the followers that help it. we don't get to hearken to lots from invoice at present simply by fact the media is throughout what sells. perhaps in spite of the shown fact that in the event that they did consult with men like invoice and Morgan Shepard we'd all savor the sport a splash greater. i might want to confirm invoice win this coming weekend and may even pray that he bypass Jr to do it. i'm particular Jr does no longer techniques ending 2nd to invoice, in actuality Jr has many of the comparable characteristics that invoice has. perhaps thats simply by fact he became raised around those men and discovered from them what it potential to be a nascar motive force and rep. regardless of each and every thing jr is now persistently voted maximum conventional besides.

... I had never heard this before but that is a very interesting bit of information. I like Bill Elliot the same as I do Mark Martin. I have a lot of respect for both of them. Great question.
