Merola's final four races came in 1951, when he started the year off at Charlotte. It was a fantastic start to the year for the driver, starting 19th in the large field and driving to a career-best 9th place effort. But the rest of the year went downhill, finishing 18th at Pittsburgh and then 45th at Darlington and 17th in a small field at Shippenville.
