Hank Parker, Jr. picks up both his only win in the legendary Winchester
400 and his first win of the 1997 All-Pro season.

Jeep Pflum picks up his only top-10 in the All-Pro series.

Mike Harmon and Carl Long had top 5's in this race how rare is that.

Both could put up good runs in this series 15-20 years ago in the late
models. Long would win a race at Bristol while Harmon would put up some
solid results on occasion in ARCA, including nearly winning at Daytona
one year. Of course both drivers are known for their longevity of
success, or rather lack thereof, in the top 3 series of NASCAR, but let
that show you that even the Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity series' "worst"
drivers are/were wheelmen at lower levels.

Jeff Fultz and Wayne Anderson are synonymous with All Pro series success
yet made a combined 8 starts in Cup and what is now Xfinity competition.
But if they were so good in late models and were comfortable running
there, why move on up?

Long's All-Pro tenure at the time was a notable one. He had a large for
this series sponsorship from Austin Crackers and the snack company
promoted him more than most drivers at this level; they even printed up
a trading card featuring him and his blue-and-yellow #15 Austin
Chevrolet late model that IIRC they gave away in packages of their
crackers.
