Elliott Undergoes Surgery

NASCAR favorite Bill Elliott, who suffered a broken left thigh bone in a crash-marred Winston Select 500 Sunday, underwent surgery to repair the damage.

The Dawsonville, Ga., racer is expected to resume driving later in the season, said Danielle Humphrey, a spokeswoman for his team sponsor.

Meanwhile, driver Ricky Craven of Newburgh, Maine, was discharged from Carraway Methodist Medical Center in Birmingham with back pain. He was involved in another crash involving 14 cars.
