2003 recap
The good: What a way to go. Sure, it would have been nice to see Million Dollar Bill win another Winston bonus before he stopped racing full time. It would have been nice to see him win another championship, for that matter. Still, a victory, a top 10 and one last stand on the stage at the Winston Cup banquet was plenty a hoorah for his fans.

The bad: There was a sluggish start that had him mired at 36th four races into the year and just 19th halfway through the year. Other than that, the only bad points were the near-misses at Kansas Speedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway, where he appeared poised to drive into victory lane but came home second and eighth, respectively.

Key stat: 1. After 28 years racing in the Cup Series, Elliott is retiring as a full-time driver and will race only a partial schedule for the next couple of years, which means his one Winston Cup title will be his last.

2004 outlook
What needs to be done: Relax and have fun. Points no longer matter to Elliott; just wins. He'll play an important role in improving the chances of Kasey Kahne's Rookie of the Year bid and Jeremy Mayfield's bid for a top-10 finish as he will do research and development for Ray Evernham.

Guarantee: Elliott will receive a deafening reception at every track he races next season.

Prediction: Elliott will be competitive in every race he runs, but testing new equipment and serving as the guinea pig will make a victory in 2004 difficult.

Did you know: Elliott is an avid snowboarder and his No. 9-designed snowboards are popular among the X-gaming crowd.
