01
Artifact Overview
Bill Elliott made his NASCAR Cup Series debut in 1976 and took his first checkered flag in 1983. Elliott's 1985 season was particularly memorable. He won 11 races, including the Daytona 500, and he earned pole position in five consecutive events. That September, Elliott made the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine -- a rare feat for a NASCAR driver at the time.
