1986 Champion Spark Plug 400

This classic image of legendary racer Bill Elliott was taken moments after winning his fourth straight Champion Spark Plug 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Bill Elliot started racing professionally in 1976, and didn’t retire until 2012. He won 44 races over his 36-year career in 828 total races. He’s donned a lot of colors for a lot of different owners – but the red Coors No. 9 will always be legendary to his fans!
