(NASHVILLE, TN) The All American 400 has become a sim racing tradition, beginning in 1998 with the Inaugural All American 100. Since that beginning 12 years ago, the All American 400 has grown to be one of the most prestigious online races today, not to mention that it is the longest continuously running online short track race around. Every year a strong group of short track sim racers take on the tough 5/8 mile Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. Jake Morris started the Outlaw Paintshop All American Series 200 off right by taking fast time in qualifying. For a good portion of the race, 121 laps to be exact, it appeared that Morris was on his way to victory, but contact with Justin McLeod all but ended those chances. Five drivers took turns leading the All American 400 including 2009 ASRS Outlaw Paintshop All American Series Champion Jim Foose, Don Colbath, defending winner of the Outlaw Paintshop All American Series 200, Mike Husby and last but not least, Skip Honaker who took home the checkered flag after 200 laps. A green white checkered finish saw Honaker hold off Don Colbath, III, Jim Foose, Louie Robinett and Mike Husby, who rounded out the top 5. It was Honaker’s first win in the All American 400. Don Colbath, III led the field to the green flag for the Super Late Model 200 with Skip Honaker alongside. Honaker charged into the lead in his Dodge Charger. Honaker was challenged early by Jim Foose, who took the lead for one lap before Honaker charged by. Four others exchanged the lead, which MT Johnson, Matty Degrieck, Justin McLeod and Honaker’s closest competition late in the going, Johnathon Caddell. Colbath retired to the garage after 107 laps with damage and set up a battle between Honaker, Caddell and Foose who made up the top three for the majority of the race. Honaker made the pass for the lead on Caddell and never looked back. Honaker would complete the sweep, winning both segments of the 12th Annual All American 400. Caddell was second, followed by Doug Forgue, Justin McLeod and Al Hixson who rounded out the top 5 as the race ended under caution for a spinning Jim Foose.
