Elliott Seeks Two Wins in Final NASCAR Weekend
Bill Elliott remains focused on winning the last two Grand National races to chase leader Darrell Waltrip, who holds a 35 point margin. Rain postponed Atlanta qualifier rounds, delaying practice as the battle heads to the Atlanta Journal 500 and a Riverside finale. Waltrip needs only a second-place finish in the two races to clinch the title, with Harry Gant unlikely to catch them.
