The thirty-fifth annual Winchester 400 motor race (run yearly since 1970 except in 2004/2005) was held under Champion Racing Association sanction on October 16, 2006, at the Winchester Speedway, Indiana (USA).
After a two-year hiatus, Winchester Speedway owner Charlie Shaw; track promoters R.J Scott and Glenn Luckett; and the Champion Racing Association, resurrected one of the crown jewels of pavement short track racing, with the running of the 35th Winchester 400.
