1974 Winchester 400

1974 Winchester 400

The fifth annual Dri-Power 400 was held under American Speed Association sanction on September 29, 1974, at the Winchester Speedway.

Making his initial visit to the Winchester Speedway, Bob Senneker of Dorr, Michigan proved to be a quick learner as he scored the win in the fifth-annual “Dri-Power 400.” Defending race winner Vern Schrock was the quickest of the 108 drivers who attempted to ear one of the 40 spots in the starting field. Starting from the pole, Schrock would lead the opening 70 laps before pitting for service and handing the lead to Tom Maier.

Many of the pre-race favorites were eliminated in a multi-car accident on lap 33 that ended the hopes of NASCAR star Bobby Allison and former winners Dave Sorg and Denny Miles.

While the race went on up front, Senneker spent the majority of the race deep in the running order as he lost five-laps pitting under the green for tires. Schrock took the lead for the second time on lap 157, but would give the lead back to Maier on lap 176. Passing halfway, Schrock would go back in front on lap 206 only to begin falling off the pace with mechanical problems. Flying around the track, Senneker made up all his laps and took the lead for the first time on lap 299, cruising home to a two-lap win over Larry Phillips, Maier, Ed VanderLaan, and Schrock. Senneker collected $6,120 for the win.
