“RCA is considering switching their sponsorship from Cale Yarborough’s team to a second Bill Elliott team, with cars to be driven by rookie Jerry Nadeau out of Elliott’s Dawsonville shops. Nadeau has been rumored to be in a second Elliott car in 1998, but no official word has been given yet. Elliott’s team, headed by Mike Beam, will remain in Statesville”(JournalNow), Jayski note: I hear the Jerry Nadeau part is a done deal and that Dan Marino will become a part-owner of the Elliott team(9-15-97)
