About the Winchester 400
First run in 1970, the Winchester 400 has become one of the crown jewel events in Super Late Model racing. The 400-lap race at the legendary Winchester Speedway in Indiana is known for its blazing speeds on high banks and a winner’s list that includes legends such as Bob Senneker, Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace, Mike Eddy, Kyle Busch, Erik Jones, and Chase Elliott. Now part of the ASA STARS National Tour, the event continues its tradition of bringing together the best short track drivers in the country for an unforgettable showdown each October.
