Elliott was quoted as saying, “Damn right I’m going to game, ooh am I going to game and I’m excited about that. Haven’t been able to get on there with my boys the past couple days so yeah, I’m going to do some gaming for sure.

“But I would like to race some, I’d love to get out west and get to Colorado and do some skiing at some point. So I think it’s going to be a pretty busy winter and I’m excited about it.”
