So what's it like following in the footsteps of a future hall of famer?
"I don't think it's all going to completely settle in until it's time to actually get started, before we get ready to go to Daytona," Elliott told FOXSports.com in an exclusive interview. "At this point, I think everybody is so kind of clamped down on this year and trying to finish out the season strong, I haven't really let my mind wander too far ahead. I'm trying to keep that mindset."
