For Immediate Release

Winchester, Indiana (October 13, 2021) – Winchester Speedway officials are pleased to announce that seven-time Winchester 400 winner Bob Senneker will be Grand Marshal for Sunday’s 50th Lucas Oil Winchester 400 presented by JEGS.

The recognition comes 31 years after that seventh and final win in the race back in 1990. Senneker, who still lives in Michigan, will wave the green flag for the golden running of the event at the World’s Fastest Half Mile.

“As a long time short track fan, it was an honor for me just to talk to Bob Senneker on the phone,” said Bob Dillner, Promoter of Winchester Speedway. “When I asked him, he said he doesn’t really do that stuff, but for this race he would. Man, that is such an honor for Winchester Speedway to have Bob Senneker be our Grand Marshall for the 50th running of the Lucas Oil Winchester 400 presented by JEGS.”

The driver of “Bluebird” was unstoppable in what was then-called the Dri-Powr 400 in the mid-1970’s, winning the race an astounding five years in a row from 1974-1978. He also won the race in 1984 and 1990 and is a part of the only pair of siblings to have both won the race (brother Terry won in 1979).

Along with being the winningest driver in Winchester 400 history, Senneker also holds the record for top-fives in the race with nine. He won the ASA Racing Series title in 1990, the same year he won his seventh Winchester 400.
