Moore to Cup? UPDATE 2:

Look for a CART driver to jump into a Cup car during the July 4th weekend. Greg Moore has an open weekend and after savvy driving today in the IROC race he could prove quite a handful at Daytona. A team has yet to be officially announced( SpeedNet ) — UPDATE 1: CART FedEx Championship PPG Cup contender Greg Moore has made no secret about his interest in NASCAR. The Winston Cup Series to be exact. Rumors were rampant earlier this season that Moore would leave CART after this season. Depending on who you talk to, Moore will a) definitely attempt to qualify for the July 3rd Pepsi 400 or b) test with the Roush organization, or c) drive a second McDonald’s backed car for Bill Elliot at the Pepsi 400. Take your pick.(in part from a GoRacing article) — UPDATE 2: Sources tell me that Moore will NOT drive a 2nd Elliott Ford. Elliott also mentioned in his recent NOL chat that he has no plans for a 2nd team in 1999
