All American 400 – 2016


The All American 400, held at the Nashville Fairgounds Speedway was for a number of years the highlight of my fall.  400 laps of noisy, smelly, fast, frantic stock car racing held under crisp, clear fall skies!  What’s not to like?  But times change, as do political climates, and for a number of years it apparently was not held.  But it’s back and for the past three years it has been one of my early fall favorites.

As I said above, times do change.  What used to be a solid 400 lap super late model stock car event evolved into a bunch of “Filler” races (“Front Runners”, “Pure Stock”, “Super Street”, “Legends”, etc.) that ate up about 200 laps of the “400 laps of racing excitement!”.  But this year it was finally back to normal.  They ran the other classes on Saturday night and on Sunday ran a 100 lap Pro Late Model race as well as a 400 lap Super Late Model race.  Finally the REAL All American 400 is back!
