The All American 400 is a 400-lap Super Late Model stock car race held annually at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, a half-mile paved oval track in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The race has been contested every year since 1981 except for from 2001 to 2002, 2009, 2011, and 2018 and is typically run on either Sunday or Saturday in the first weekend of November or on either Sunday or Saturday in the last weekend of October, although in some years it has been run earlier or later than that, with no relation to the last or first weekend of either month.
The All American 400 has gained a reputation for attracting some of the biggest names in short track racing including stars from NASCAR and is considered one of the biggest crown jewel events in all of Super Late Model racing.[1]
The All American 400 has been won by various NASCAR talents such as Jeff Purvis (who has the most wins in the event at 3), Butch Lindley, Bob Senneker, Jim Sauter, Gary Balough, Rusty Wallace, Darrell Waltrip, Butch Miller, Gary St. Amant, Mike Garvey, Bobby Gill, Wayne Anderson, Freddie Query, Chris Gabehart, Ross Kenseth, Chase Elliott, John Hunter Nemechek, Daniel Hemric, Bubba Pollard, and Casey Roderick.
Over the years, the race format has relatively stayed the same, although it varied as a 200-lapper and a 300-lapper from 2003 until 2015 and again a 300-lapper in 2020 to 2022. For 2003 the date normally given to the 400 became the "Patriot 200" and while it was not originally considered as an All American event it was later considered one.[2] In years where it was a 300 lap race, the 400 laps were split between the 300 lap Super Late Model and 100 lap Pro Late Model features.
