AND: For the first time since 1983, Bill Elliott isn’t running a full NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series schedule. Instead he is competing in select races in the #91 Dodge for owner Ray Evernham and helping Evernham with research and development such as participating in a test session along with Petty Enterprises’ Kyle Petty on Wednesday at Daytona International Speedway in preparation for the 46th annual Pepsi 400 on Saturday, July 3. Elliott, who only competed in the Budweiser Shootout during Speedweeks 2004, says sponsorship will determine the rest of his driving schedule, and that includes whether or not he would race in the Pepsi 400. “I want to run some more this year and maybe do some stuff next year,” Elliott said. “I would like to try to come back here and run good again but whether that happens or not I don’t know. Tickets for the Pepsi 400 Weekend are available online at www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP.(DIS PR)(5-27-2004)
