Steven Nasse scored his first ASA Stars National Tour victory Sunday afternoon by taking the checkered flag in the All-American 400 at historic Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway
(NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE) – It’s hard to imagine that such a decorated Super Late Model driver like Stephen Nasse (Pinellas Park, FL) had never won an ASA STARS National Tour event.
His resume is elite: The Snowball Derby, Winchester 400, World Crown 300, and the All American 400 are all on his trophy shelf. However, his win on Sunday was his second All American 400 and his first on the Appalachian Sucker Punch ASA STARS National Tour.
It took 30 tries, but now Nasse has won on the National stage with the ASA STARS National Tour. With the victory, Nasse became only the second driver to win multiple Winchester 400s and All American 400s. The other was ASA legend Butch Miller, who won a pair each in the All American 400 (1988 & 1989) and the Winchester 400 (1987 & 1989).
Nasse took the lead on the lap 289 restart when he passed teammate and race leader Carson Brown (New London, NC). As Nasse exited turn two, Brown spun after a stack-up resulted in contact from behind. Brown was looking to back up his Winchester 400 win with an All American 400 win. The series points leader ended up 11th. He will be in line to finish off the championship next week at New Smyrna.
Nasse was left to fend off Jade Avedisian (Clovis, CA) and Matt Craig (Kannapolis, NC) on the final restart. After some shuffling around in the final laps, Craig got to second, and Avedisian was third. The finish by Avediasian tied her career best and was the best for any female driver in the 41 year history of the race.
Fourth went to Treyten Lapecevich (Grimsby, ONT) and Kyle Steckley (Milverton, ONT).
George Phillips, Dylan Fetcho, Kasey Kleyn, Tristan McKee, and pole sitter Dawson Sutton made up the top 10. At the finish, 16 cars were on the lead lap at the end of the highly competitive race.
Dawson Sutton led from the Hamke Race Cars pole and paced the field for over 100 laps early on and looked to be in line for a second consecutive All American 400 win. He overcame losing a lap to finish 10th.
The 2026 ASA STARS National Tour season will conclude next Sunday, November 15th at the Florida Governor’s Cup 200 at New Smyrna Speedway. The Sunday afternoon will conclude the 2026 chapter of the National Super Late Model tour.
