Ford Motorsports Bill Elliott 1991 Racing Champions 1:43 Stock Cars 4 Pack (2) #9 Stock Cars and (2) #84 Stock Cars Limited Edition of 25,000 Sets In 1988 Elliott won another six races, including the Southern 500 and the Pepsi Firecracker 400, and six poles. At Bristol, he was spun out by Geoff Bodine late in the race, but after pitting made his way back and won the race, his first of the year. He also won a race at Pocono and swept Dover. Bill Elliott won his first and only Winston Cup Championship. At Atlanta, the last race of the season, he started 29th but needed to finish 18th or better to beat pole winner Rusty Wallace for the Championship, and he finished 11th to claim the title. He finished the season with 15 top 5s, 22 top 10s, and an average finish of 6.6. Following his championship season, Elliott broke his wrist in a crash during testing at Daytona and required relief by Jody Ridley during several races in the first part of the 1989 season. Elliott won two poles and three races and finished sixth in the championship standings. In 1990, Elliott won one race and two poles and finished fourth in the championship standings. In the 1990 race at Atlanta, Elliott's rear tire changer Mike Rich was killed when Ricky Rudd lost control of his car, spun, and slammed the crew member between his car and Elliott's. As a result, NASCAR restricted the cars' speed on pit road. The 1991 season saw Elliott's sponsorship change to Coors Light and the familiar red on the car was replaced with blue. Elliott would only win once that year in the Pepsi 400 and won two poles. After a year of struggle, Elliott finished a disappointing eleventh in the championship standings, causing him and Coors to part ways with Mellings. That lone win in 1991 would be the only time in his career that Bill Elliott won in a car that was NOT painted red. Overall, in 9 seasons, Melling Racing set several NASCAR records, winning the Winston Million, winning the Winston Cup Championship, and won a total of 34 career races, all of these accomplishments with only Bill Elliott. The success of Melling Racing may have come to an end after Elliott left at the end of 1991, but Elliott would be more successful in the years to come.
