Elliott eyes late run after Pocono and Indy wins
Bill Elliott, driver of the No. 9 Dodge for Ray Evernham, eyes a stronger finish to 2002 as he nears his 700th Winston Cup start. Elliott, 47, has back-to-back wins this season at Pocono and Indianapolis, sits 38 points from the top 10, and plans a bold push with four races left. He wants to avoid becoming a negative influence on the team and may gamble to maximize results for 2003.
