Elliot teams with Wallace for Busch entry.

Miller Brewing Company and the High Life brand have announced that NASCAR racing legend Bill Elliot has joined its family of drivers for three events in the 2005 Busch Series season.

Elliot will pilot the #64 Miller High Life car owned by legendary Rusty Wallace at Milwaukee, Indianapolis and Nashville - running the familiar red, white and gold paint scheme for the first two events and a blue, white and silver paint scheme in Nashville in honour of the brand's light beer, Miller High Life Light

Elliot made one start in the Busch Series last year at Memphis Motorsports Park where he qualified on the outside pole, and the Milwaukee race will be his first race in the championship in 2005.

"I'm honoured to drive the Miller High Life car for Rusty Wallace," he said. "This is a first-class organisation and I'm proud to be back in this Series. It's great to be back with the fans and on board with Miller High Life. I'm really looking forward to working with these guys to see if we can put this #64 car in victory lane."

Rusty Wallace formed his in 2004 with Billy Parker and Jamie McMurray behind the wheel; McMurray taking the teams first win last November at Darlington Raceway.

Now Wallace is confident that Elliot can help the team secure another visit to victory lane.

"I'm really looking forward to having Bill Elliott drive this race car," he said. "I can't think of anyone better to sit in the seat than a champion and legend like him. It would be awesome to bring home a victory for Miller High Life in Milwaukee."
