Elliott and McDonald’s: Bill Korbus, who directs the McDonald’s racing program, says the company believed Elliott was going to retire after next season and it didn’t want to be caught short. He also says that if Elliott doesn’t retire, McDonald’s would be interested in continuing to sponsor him. Two McDonald’s cars? “It’s certainly not outside the realm of possibility,” Korbus says. “Cal was always our life-after-Bill plan.” The catch is that Elliott, an owner-driver, plans to continue as an owner after he retires. And McDonald’s has no interest in sponsoring an Elliott car with no Elliott inside( USA Today )
