available for cars and trucks. The company's exclusive windshields
feature a checkered flag motif with the renowned NASCAR brand logo
in the center. Elliott, who is running a limited campaign in 2004,
won the 2002 Brickyard 400, becoming the first driver to win the
event from the front row. Winner of 44 NASCAR events, he also
captured the historic first win for Evernham Motorsports on
November 11, 2001, at Homestead-Miami Speedway. This year, Elliott
also ran at Texas and in the Bud Shootout at Daytona. In addition
to running a limited on-track schedule, Elliot remains active with
Evernham Motorsports as mentor and coach to the team's drivers,
testing and developing on-track equipment, and lending his talent
in a variety of endeavors on and off the track. "Continued success
in motorsports -- particularly in NASCAR -- always includes strong
support from committed sponsors," said Ray Evernham, CEO of
