Bill Elliott/Dan Marino’s #13 FirstPlus Ford, which released driver Jerry Nadeau at mid-season, has auditioned drivers, with short-tracker Dennis Setzer in the car the past couple of weeks. Elliott, who has made some major moves with the #13, including moving the group from Georgia to the new team headquarters in Hickory, NC says he hopes to make his two teams assets to one another and will continue to look for a long-term driver, saying he has not made a choice for next week’s run at Darlington. He did not indicate any anxiety about the sponsorship.( SpeedNet/Ben Blake ) (08-30-1998)
