Without sponsorship, Melling ran Phil Parsons for the first two races in the 1992 season and had a top-ten finish at the Daytona 500.
After that, the team ran a part-time schedule with Dorsey Schroeder, Dave Mader III, and Bill Schmitt driving, before Chad Little finished the season.
The team continued running a part-time schedule with Little and Greg Sacks driving at the beginning of the season, along with P. J. Jones in the second half of the season.
After Joe Ruttman drove at Daytona, Rich Bickle drove for ten races and had only one top-20 finish, causing him to be replaced by Parsons later on.
The team finally got a new sponsor in Spam when Lake Speed signed with the team in 1995.
He had two top-ten finishes and finished 23rd in points running a full-time schedule.
After only one top-ten in 1996, Spam left the team.

Due to a lack of sponsorship, the team skipped races, and ran a total of 26 events with Speed driving 25 and Jeff Davis running at Sears Point.
Melling was able to return full-time in 1998 when Cartoon Network became the team's new sponsor.
While practicing at Sears Point, Speed was involved a wreck and had to be replaced by Butch Gilliland that weekend while he recuperated.
After returning for a final race at New Hampshire, Speed retired from driving and was replaced immediately by rookie Jerry Nadeau, who had a best finish of 15th at Watkins Glen International.
Nadeau returned for the 1999 season, with Turner Broadcasting taking a larger role in its sponsorship duties, advertising TBS, Dinner and a Movie, WCW, and the Atlanta Braves in addition to their Cartoon Network sponsorship.
Midway through the season, Harry Melling died due to a heart attack, and his son Mark took over ownership of the team.
At Watkins Glen that season, Nadeau gave Melling Racing its first top-five since 1991 with a fifth-place finish, but left after the following week to replace Ernie Irvan at MB2 Motorsports.
For the rest of the season, Bickle, Steve Grissom, and Stacy Compton all shared the ride.

Compton was hired as the driver for 2000 with Kodiak/Tobacco replacing Cartoon and Turner as the sponsor.
In his rookie season, Compton was unable to finish higher than 16th, had to miss the goracing.com 500 due to injuries, and was replaced by Bobby Hillin Jr. for that race.
In 2001, Melling yielded the No.
9 to Evernham Motorsports, who would be fielding entries for, Bill Elliott.
When Ray Evernham took possession of the number 9 from Melling, Elliott asked him for that number out of respect for his old team.
In exchange, Melling Racing switched to the No.
92 and ran Dodge Intrepids with engine support from Evernham.
Compton also received new crew chief Chad Knaus, leading to the departure of Jerry Pitts.
Compton qualified on the outside pole at the season-opening Daytona 500, started on the front row with Elliott, who won the pole, and finished 10th in the race.
Compton won 2 poles in 2001, both at Talladega.
After finishing 33rd in points at the end of the season, Compton, Kodiak, and Knaus left Melling.
In a twist of fate for the team, Elliott won at Homestead in November 2001, driving the number 9 car, but this time, with Evernham Motorsports.
 It was the 9 car's first since he and Melling Racing took the No.
9 to victory lane at the Pepsi 400 in 1991.

Melling began the 2002 season at Daytona with Robert Pressley driving, finishing 22nd in the Brand Source Dodge after a late race engine failure.
The team did not run until the summer Michigan race with Compton finishing 30th.
The team's final attempt came at Talladega with Pressley, but they did not qualify.
In the team's final race, Stacy Compton led three laps.

At the end of the 2002 season, Melling Racing closed its doors for good and eventually sold its shop and equipment to Arnold Motorsports in 2003.
The team today runs in relevance as Germain Racing which runs the 13 car for Ty Dillon.
