ELKHART LAKE, Wis. — Bill Elliott, the NASCAR Hall of Famer who briefly came out of retirement for a one-race deal with GMS Racing, finished 20th in the Xfinity Series’ Johnsonville 180 on Saturday.
The 62-year-old Elliott termed his drive “a good day” and “a heck of a lot of fun,” even after he was involved in an early-race entanglement at the 4.048-mile road course of Road America.
“I feel like I hit everything but the lottery,” said Elliott.

“I just felt like I needed more, like through (Turns) 9 and 10 and the carousel to carry any speed through there,” he added. “I just felt like I gave up too much in (Turn) 3, I wasn’t too bad in 5, 6, 7, 8. I got a little bit free in 11.”
Justin Allgaier cruised to his fourth win of the season after taking advantage of a mistake by James Davison in the closing laps.
