ASA President Rex Robbins and All Pro President Bob Harmon met to discuss a possible event to pit the best short track racers in the north and the best racers in the South in one marquee race. It was the All Pro Series taking the first All American 400, with Butch Lindley leading 207 laps and taking the win for the Southerners over Martin and Dick Trickle. A caution came out, holding the race with five laps to go. From then until the turn of the millennium, it would be strictly an All Pro Series race. A northern invader captured the 1993 All American 400 as Mike Garvey led the final 41 laps of the race to take the win. We’ll take a look at that in part two of the history of the All American 400.
