History

From 2007 through 2016 there were two different winners in the race (one in the East and the other in the West). The overall winner received the win in the series that the driver was eligible for points while the best placed driver from the other series also received the win (in the other series). Starting at 2017, the overall winner receives two separate wins (one in the East and the other in the West).

Starting in 2011 the race became a support race for the NASCAR Xfinity Series weekend.
