Jeff Purvis wins his record-setting third All American 400. This was his
last victory in the race. He won all three of his 400s in the first five
years of the event being a All-Pro series race.

#72 Eddie Mercer- Phoenix Construction
#38 John Crow- Jackaroo Barby-Q-Sauce
#52 Tammy Jo Kirk- Trofa Carpet (I think, it looks like that's what it
says but I googled this and couldn't find anything...of course it could
be a local store and possibly long gone)

#5 Rich Bickle- Terminal Trucking / Mityvac
#36 Kenny Wallace- Red Dog
#80- Toby Porter- Greased Lightning
#21 Darryl Sage- Citgo / Gold*Star
#81 Tony Walls- Walls Tire

Tony Walls started off great in this one as he won his first All Pro
pole and led right from the get-go, holding off Darryl Sage's early
attempts to take the top spot. Walls led right from the green flag until
the engine let go on his #81 just 21 laps into the race sending his
self-sponsored entry to the sidelines. Sage then took the lead only for
his car to suffer a mechanical failure, under caution no less, that also
knocked him out of the race.

Nashville local favorite Joe Buford saw his day end with a wall ride as
he and fellow Nashville ace Chad Chaffin crashed together.

Jeff Purvis' win here is notable in that to date it is the last win for
a Tennessee racer in Nashville's All-American 400. This was Purvis'
seventh and final All-Pro win and his first since he won the 1992
All-American 400. At the time of this race he was racing for James Finch
and mostly splitting his time between part-time efforts in the NASCAR
Winston Cup and Busch Grand National Series; he and Finch went full time
in Busch for 1996.

Georgia short tracker Buckshot Jones turns in a top-10 run as he makes
his final NASCAR All-Pro series start. While he had been running the
tour for most of the prior two seasons he only made three starts in 1995
(two of the televised races early in the season and this one near the
end) as he was starting to move up into the NASCAR Busch Grand National
series. Jones and his #00 effort left All-Pro behind for good after this
race and went full-time in the higher tour for 1996.

NASCAR Winston Cup and Busch Grand National racer Kenny Wallace was
running sixth in this one when his #36 Red Dog Beer Ford Thunderbird
caught on fire while the field was running around under caution.
Something in right front area of the car ignited and the flames were
starting to come into the cockpit as Wallace brought the car into the
pits before bailing out. The fire was quickly extinguished but the
T-Bird was done for the day.

This race was run the same day as the 1995 Rapidfire 400, the season
finale for the ASA ACDelco Challenge Series at Jennerstown Speedway in
Pennsylvania. Scott Hansen was an ASA regular this season but, with a
top-10 finish in that series' point standings pretty much locked up, he
skipped that race to come south and chase a big pay day at Nashville
after having won here in the spring. Hansen picked up a top-5 for his
moonlighting efforts. Former All American 400 winner Bob Senneker won
the ASA race in spectacular fashion as he crashed coming across the
finish line with Joe Nott as the two battled for the victory.
