The siren at the Dawsonville Pool Room is ringing out again these days. Once an indicator of victories by 1988 NASCAR champion Bill Elliott, these days it's celebrating the accomplishments of his son Chase Elliott, another Dawsonville native regularly in the mix for wins.First, the younger Elliott won the pole for this year's Daytona 500. Then he won one of the two 60-lap Can Am Duel qualifying races at Daytona on Feb. 23.
