Racing Reference shows that Bill Elliott drove a Sportsman race in 1983 at Charlotte. It was the Mello Yello 300. He drove a #17 Pepsi Challenger Pontiac owned by Darrell Waltrip. Anyone have images or more info on this car?

Here is Waltrip in the car at the start of the fall Charlotte Miller High Life 300. Not the spring Mello Yello 300, but the car probably looked the same. - Ray Lamm

And here is a pic of Waltrip's car from [ Ray Lamm ]. Again, I'm guessing scheme fielded for Bill would have been the same.

Interesting race, only 4 cars finished on lead lap and all 4 were Pontiacs, but what great drivers.. Dale Sr.,Neil Bonnett, Bill Elliott and Harry Gant. Thereare several videos of this race on youtube...
