I know several members travel over to watch the 400 every fall. Just thought I would share a couple of articles by speed 51 on the race. Also Speed51 will be doing live updates all weekend. They do a very good job.

Growing up in Michigan in the 1970's, the Winchester (Dri Power) 400 was such a memorable event. The best of the best including Bob Senneker who dominated the event for years.

They are running support races tonight and tomorrow night also. Keep your eye on Stephanie Bigelow as she tries to repeat as a feature winner in the Vore's Compact races. Stephanie recently became first female to win a stock car feature at Winchester driving the Winchester Furniture Showroom car #44. She started 17th in a 20 lap feature and parked it on the front straight!

Good Luck Stephanie from your fan club!!!
