Miller 400 – Michigan International Speedway – 6/16/85
Bill Elliott and the Coors – Melling Team headed into the familiar and friendly confines of Michigan International Speedway as Elliott won his 7th NASCAR victory of the season. Elliott in his own words said, “I’ve taken a liking to Michigan International Speedway.” Elliott’s team owner Harry Melling lives close to the track at Clark Lake so there are many close ties to MIS. Elliott said, “I have a lot of close friends at Brooklyn, and we stay with friends in Brooklyn when we come here. It just feels like home.”
