1987 Winchester 400

1987 Winchester 400

The eighteenth annual Winchester 400 was held under American Speed Association sanction on October 4, 1987, at the Winchester Speedway.

After tying to win the “big one” for several years, Butch Miller had a day of career firsts as he captured the 1987 running of the “Winchester 400” and clinched his first ASA National Championship.

Driving the familiar number 52 Chevrolet, Miller started the weekend off by winning the pole for the 400-lap grind. At the start, Miller would cruise to an early lead as he paced the field for the first 115 laps. As Miller pitted under caution, two-time winner Mike Eddy put his Howe Buick at the top of the leader board for the next 60 laps, before he too headed down pit road on lap 176. That, in turn, handed the lead to Harold Fair who would hold the lead until Miller took over the lead for good on lap 276. Eddy’s hopes for a third win ended when engine problems sidelined him on lap 297.

Despite failing to lead a single lap, six-time winner Bob Senneker finished second ahead of Fair. Seeking a third-straight win, Mark Martin was on a charge in the second half of the event, making up two laps he lost with tire problems to finish fourth with Dick Trickle coming home fifth as the last car on the lead lap. Miller collected $10,600 for win.
