Bill Elliott Back for the 2006 Daytona 500

Bill Elliott has announced that he will race in the Budweiser Shootout and the 2006 Daytona 500. Elliott has not raced in the Daytona 500 since he retired from full-time competition in 2003 and lately has only been running a limited schedule in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup series. Can he still get the job done after a two year break from Daytona?
