History

Ambetterwas the title sponsor of the race in 2021. They switched their title sponsorship to theCup Series race at New Hampshirein 2022.

When first held in1990,the race was 300 laps. It was scaled back to 250 laps, the length of the 1990-1992 fall NHMS race, starting in1993,and again to its current 200 laps in1996.

From 1990 to 1992, New Hampshire held a second, 250 lap/264.5 miles (425.7 km) Busch Series race in the fall. The second race was removed from the schedule in 1993, in exchange for a Winston Cup Series race at the track.

During the practice for the 2000 event,Adam Pettydied after he lost control of his car after his throttle were stuck wide open going into turn three; Petty's death was caused by abasilar skull fracturefrom the ensuing impact. Cup Series driverKenny Irwin Jr.also died under similar circumstances during the practice ofthatlook.com 300,occurring eight weeks later at the same track, leading NASCAR to make significant rule changes to maintain driver safety.

Until 2010, in 23 races held at NHMS, there had never been a repeat Xfinity Series winner, the longest such streak in any of NASCAR's national touring series.^[2]Kyle Buschbroke the streak with victories in 2009 and 2010. He would also win the 2011, 2013, 2016, and 2017 Xfinity Series races at the track.Brad KeselowskiandChristopher Bellwould later also become repeat winners of the Xfinity Series race at New Hampshire. Additionally,ToyotaandJoe Gibbs Racingwon this race each year from 2008 to 2021 except for Keselowski's two wins in 2012 and 2014, both of which were forTeam Penske.He drove a Dodge in 2012 and a Ford in 2014.

The 2020 race was canceled and replaced by a race atKentucky Speedwaydue to theCOVID-19 pandemic.^[3]

In 2021, the race returned to the Xfinity Series schedule and Ambetter (owned byCentene Corporation) became the title sponsor of the race. With them being a healthcare company and the race being held during the time when people were getting COVID-19 vaccines, Ambetter added "get vaccinated" in the name of the race next to their own so it would sound like "better get vaccinated" to encourage people to get a COVID-19 vaccine.^[4]On May 21, 2022, it was announced that Crayon Software Experts would be the title sponsor of the Xfinity Series of the race^[5]after Ambetter became the title sponsor of the Cup Series race at New Hampshire in 2022 (replacingFoxwoods Resort Casino).^[6]
