The Sportscar Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) announced May 15 that NASCAR champions Bill Elliott and Ray Evernham once again are entered as co-drivers of a special promoter’s option entry in the fifth annual Indy Legends Charity Pro-Am on Saturday, June 16 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The two first entered the feature race in 2016 and finished on the podium last year. Elliott won the 2002 Brickyard 400 at IMS in dominating fashion in an Evernham-prepared Dodge. 1988 NASCAR Cup champion Elliott is one of the most accomplished drivers in American auto racing. He scored 44 race wins at NASCAR’s highest level, including the 1985 and 1987 Daytona 500. While he was previously well established as a top driver on the NASCAR scene, he broke through to superstar status in 1985 after winning the “Winston Million” for victories in three of the series’ marquee races: the Daytona 500, the Southern 500 and the Winston 500. Elliott has been inducted into both the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. His son, Chase, is a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver for Hendrick Motorsports. Evernham, who was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in January, is best known for his work with NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon and the “Rainbow Warriors” of Hendrick Motorsports. Together they formed one of the most dominant teams in NASCAR history, winning 47 Cup races and championships in 1995, 1997 and 1998. Among those victories were two Brickyard 400s as well as two Daytona 500s. Evernham formed his own team after parting ways with Gordon and Hendrick in 1999. Among his top drivers was Elliott who closed his full-time driving career with the team after winning several races. Since moving away from active team management, Evernham has held several different positions in the television world, including serving as a NASCAR analyst for various networks and hosting his own television show for the Velocity channel, “AmeriCarna.” The show has featured the Brickyard Invitational twice. The Indy Legends Pro-Am is the Saturday feature event of the Brickyard Invitational. The Indianapolis 500 veterans will be in 1963 to 1972 vintage Corvettes, Camaros and Mustangs of SVRA “Group 6” A and B Production. The professionals will be paired with amateur drivers, splitting their stints at the wheel. Additional Indy 500 drivers will be announced as they enter in the coming weeks. In addition to the Pro-Am, there will be a festival of other activities at the Brickyard Invitational on June 15-17 at IMS, including the Sunday, June 17 feature race by the professional Trans Am series headed by 2017 champion Ernie Francis Jr. The weekend also presents the Hagerty Insurance “shine and show” car corral, vintage motorcycle racing, and 500-plus vintage racers ranging over 100 years of automotive history racing in SVRA Groups 1 through 12. An oval exhibition featuring a race car show of judged competition for the A.J. Watson and Sir Jack Brabham trophies led by track historian Donald Davidson also will take place.
