Winchester, IN (October 18, 2006) – Winchester Speedway owner Charlie Shaw with Champion Racing Association, the promoters of Winchester Speedway, have announced the date for the 2007 36^th Annual Winchester 400, which will be ran on Sunday, October 14^th, 2007 with preliminary events on Friday, October 12^th and Saturday, October 13^th.

"Based on the success we had with the return of the Winchester 400 this past weekend, we are announcing the date for the 36^th Annual Winchester 400 so all the fans and race teams can start planning to return next season," remarked Shaw. " The crowds were not huge but the weather may have hurt that a little. Also this is the first year we did the return of the 400 with the three-day event. The campers and so forth showed me that we are on the right track. I think we are on to something. If we stay with it a few years I believe we can make this race like it was in the old days. We want it to be a race people look forward to all year long."

The CRA Super Series will sanction the 36th Annual Winchester 400 again in 2007. It will be the fourth time that the series has sanctioned this prestigious event.
