The #9 Kaddyshack Ford Thunderbird driven by Bill Elliott at the August 18, 1985 Washington 500 NASCAR Winston West race at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington was provided by car owner George Jefferson (Racing Reference is Incorrect - Harry Melling was NOT the car owner) and was a team car the winning 7-Eleven Ford #07 driven by Derrike Cope, who picked up $17,305 while Bill, who qualified 9th, expired early with an engine issue.
Car owner George Jefferson had no problem finding a #9 for the Bill Elliott car at Monroe.
Jefferson had run #95 for years, including the previous season for Derrike Cope when 7-Eleven first came aboard.
The #10 of Rene "The Champ" Charland - NASCAR National Sportsman Division Champion in 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1965 - at the 1972 Daytona Permatex 300 bore a striking resemblance to a Bill Champion car. Is it a former Bill Champion GN ride?
