NOTES OF INTEREST: This year's ARCA classic at Winchester will be the 15th ARCA race held at the historic half-mile high-banked speedplant since the series first raced there in 1964. Winchester Speedway is a sister track of Salem Speedway and the former Dayton Speedway built by Frank Funk in the 1920s. NASCAR legend and former ARCA winner Bobby Allison will help highlight the festivities as Grand Marshal for the event. The 1983 NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion will also be on hand to sign autographs. The event, sponsored by Astral Carrier, is unique in that it will be the first ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series race at Winchester to be run under the lights scheduled for an 8 PM local start time with practice at 3 PM and qualifying at 5:30. It's also the first ARCA race to go 250 laps instead of the typical 200. After 14 events, 7 have been won from the pole. 3-time ARCA champion Tim Steele is the only 3-time winner at Winchester and will make his first Winchester appearance since 1997 when he, not only won the race, but set a new ARCA 1-lap qualifying record at 16.357 seconds or 110.045 mph. Two-time winners at Winchester include former ARCA champions' Marvin Smith and Tracy Leslie. Additional winners at Winchester are Jack Bowsher, Gary Bradberry, Bob Keselowski, Frank Kimmel, Ralph Latham, Bob Strait and Bobby Watson.
