JOLIET, Ill. - Bill Elliott, who last ran a full NASCAR Cup schedule in 2003, is still considering a return to full-time action in 2007.
Elliott, who is running a limited schedule this year, said he'd prefer to run a 12-to-15 race schedule, depending on sponsorship, but he's keeping all his options open.
"Whether I will do a full-time deal next year or not, I don't know at this time," Elliott said earlier this week. "I'm still playing my options as far as what is available. I won't say, 'Yes' and I won't say, 'No.'"
Elliott, who made his second start of the season at Chicago, cited the off-track demands of the sport when he "retired" in 2003. Almost three years later, he says he still has a passion for racing.
"I still enjoy the race and racing has been a part of my whole life," Elliott said. "It's hard to get it out of your system. If the opportunity doesn't come along then I'll be satisfied with running a limited schedule or whatever. We'll have to see what cards are laid out in the next couple of months and make a decision from that."
