Winchester 400


The Winchester 400 is a 400-lap short-track stock car race held each fall at the Winchester Speedway, approximately east of Indianapolis, Indiana. Held annually since 1970, the Winchester 400 started off as an American Speed Association event, but was taken over by NASCAR in 1992. The event is sanctioned by the ARCA/CRA Super Series since 2003.
Billed as the "World's Fastest 1/2 mile", Winchester Speedway is a half-mile long paved oval motor racetrack in Winchester, Indiana. The track's 37 degree banking are some of the steepest in motorsports and the reason for the high speeds. The track has permanent seating for approximately 4000 spectators. The race has served as a launching point for the careers of several young drivers including former winners Rusty Wallace, Mark Martin, Mike Eddy, and Ted Musgrave.
Stephen Nasse is the most recent winner of the Winchester 400.
