He went on a ride in an F-16 after shooting a promotional video for the Georgia ANG. It collided with an F-15 midair, which crashed, while the F-16 pilot limped the plane back to the base.

The crash damaged the comms in the plane and the pilot wrote Elliott a note saying they'd eject if he lost control. They found later that the ejector seat Elliott was sitting in didn't work and, in that scenario, Bill rides the plane to the scene of the crash.

e- Air Force Reserve, not ANG. Some form of Our/Are Troops. Maybe "probably should've been killed" wasn't as good a way of describing it as "tremendously lucky".

Roush closed their NXS teams to focus on the Cup program, in part citing that they've used NXS as a talent incubator and, with Newman and Stenhouse set, there's no point in running.

I wonder if Ryan Reed will take Lilly somewhere else.

I wonder how good it will actually be, he was already under performing in top tier equipment. I think he came out of Xfinity too soon though so maybe he can pull a Joey and jump to a new team and start killing it.

New racing 30-for-30 coming soon:

quote:

But during the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday night, ESPN teased several new installments in the series. Some of the featured athletes include Michael Vick, Lance Armstrong, Dennis Rodman, Florence Griffith Joyner, Janet Guthrie, and the Chuck Liddell-Tito Ortiz rivalry.

If it's anything like the Tim Richmond one, it could be really good: https://awfulannouncing.com/espn/espn-teases-new-30-for-30-films-on-lance-armstrong-dennis-rodman-michael-vick-among-others.html

One suggestion I saw on Twitter says this had to do with sponsorship. Allegiant is GMS' money, ISM Vision also sponsored the 21, and I don't think Sauter brought sponsorship so :confused:.

Brett Moffitt to GMS, but in the 24, which means Justin Haley is out or moving and the 21 is also open unless they're not planning on fielding it and :psyboom:.
