History
editThis sectionneeds expansion.You can help byadding to it.(November 2021) |
The race was first run in 1999 as the Outback Steakhouse 200. It became the Bashas' Supermarkets 200 in 2002. Following realignment of the two Xfinity Series races, the Arizona 200 took over the November slot.
The 2016 race was held at night and served as the sixth race of theNASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs.
Whelen Engineering Companyserved as the title sponsor of the race in 2018.[2]Desert Diamond Casinos and Entertainment served as the title sponsor of the race in 2019 and 2020.[3]When they did not return in 2021, NASCAR did not set out to find a replacement title sponsor and instead named the race theNASCAR Xfinity Series Championship Race(in previous years, many fans would refer to the last race of the season by that name anyway regardless of what the official name of the race was). The race winner's trophy (not the championship) however, refers the race as being unofficially titled theXfinity 200.
The race was a day race in 2020 and a night race in 2021.
In its four years as the last race of the Xfinity Series season, the driver who won the championship also won the race:Austin Cindricin2020,Daniel Hemricin 2021,Ty Gibbsin 2022 andCole Custerin 2023.
