LOUDON, N.H. -- Bill Elliott says he hasn't decided if he will return to NASCAR Nextel Cup racing full time, although reports state the former series champion could join Team Red Bull next season.

Elliott, 50, last raced a full season in 2003. When he left his full-time ride with Evernham Motorsports, he wanted to drive about 12-15 races a year but has not competed in that many races a season because of lack of sponsorship. He admits he could race the entire season.

"It all depends on what opportunity comes available,'' said Elliott, who will drive a car for Michael Waltrip Racing in today's Nextel Cup race at New Hampshire International Speedway. "If the right deal comes available, yeah, I would consider doing it.''

Elliott's name has surfaced as a possibility because of a shortage of available drivers who have won. Team Red Bull, which will debut with Toyotas next season, has signed Brian Vickers for its two-car operation.

Elliott said he's received interest for next season but was not specific. He said a big key will be how strong the team is. Elliott likely would race no more than three years full time if he returned. A team that will take a couple of years before it runs well won't interest him.

Talk of driver movements dominates the garage. Jeremy Mayfield could be headed to Waltrip's team and join Waltrip and Dale Jarrett. Elliott Sadler could leave Robert Yates Racing for Evernham Motorsports. Mark Martin also has said that he'll likely drive in select Cup races again for Roush Racing as he moves to the truck series full time next season.

Not for sale

Track owner Bob Bahre said New Hampshire International Speedway is not for sale but admits that it might be someday.

The track is one of the few not owned by International Speedway Corp. or Speedway Motorsports Inc. Bahre, 79, said his son, Gary, 43, would take over the track upon his passing but isn't big on running the track by himself.

Bahre also co-owns North Wilkesboro Speedway with Bruton Smith. Both paid for a Cup date and moved the dates away from that track. Bahre said he lets Smith handle any business with the track.

"If he wants to sell it, we'll sell it,'' Bahre said of Smith.

More testing

NASCAR is expected to give Cup teams one more open test session next season. That would give teams seven tests at tracks that host Cup races. Those are the only times teams can test at such tracks.

The tests will include Daytona and Talladega. The Talladega test is expected to be for the car of tomorrow. Series officials passed out ballots to crew chiefs to vote on the remaining five tracks to test. No final count has been made, but the five tracks are expected to be Lowe's Motor Speedway, Richmond, Homestead, Las Vegas and Indianapolis.

Daytona testing is tentatively scheduled for Jan. 8-11 and Jan. 15-18. The sessions will be divided based on what the car owner points were after last weekend's race at Chicagoland Speedway. Teams in odd positions will go one week and teams in the even spots will go the other weekend.
