As the weather begins to cool, the number of Super Late Model majors begin to increase in number across the country.
In Central Tennessee, that means the All-American 400 is looming around the corner.
Recently moved from October to November 2-4, the most prestigious race at Fairgrounds Speedway is already starting to attract a world class entry list. The winner’s list includes the likes of Darrell Waltrip, Rusty Wallace, Chase Elliott, Daniel Hemric and Bubba Pollard.
And based on the preliminary entry list, the 2018 winner will be just as notable.
Former winners Pollard and Donnie Wilson have already pre-entered the event. Track champion Casey Roderick and recently crowned NASCAR K&N Pro Series champion Tyler Ankrum has done the same. Local stars Willie Allen and Cole Williams will also take their shots at the signature Music City guitar trophy.
Reigning Redbud 400 winner Raphael Lessard, ARCA hot shoe Chandler Smith and defending Southern Super Series champion Stephen Nasse have also committed.
This is just the preliminary list and will continue to grow in the weeks leading up to race weekend. In addition to the All-American 400 itself, race day will also include a 100-lap Pro Late Model race. The complete purse structure is expected to be released shortly.
The known entry lists for both portions of the All-American 400 can be viewed below.
