A section of Road America, the track where the race was held.

Road America is a motorsport road course located near Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin on Wisconsin Highway 67. It has hosted races since the 1950s and currently hosts races in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, NTT Indycar Series, NTTWeatherTech SportsCar Championship, SCCA Pirelli World Challenge, ASRA, AMA Superbike series, IndyCar Series, and SCCA Pro Racing's Trans-Am Series.

This was the first Xfinity Series race to allow fans to attend since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [9]

Modified Pit Procedures

Due to the race being held at a separate venue from the Cup Series and the subsequent need to use alternate pit crew members, NASCAR implemented alternate pit procedures for the Henry 180. The field was frozen at the time of the caution, and each team could change only fuel or tires during each stop (multiple changes would require multiple pit stops during the same pit cycle). Additionally, there was a time limit set for pit road: A minimum of 60 seconds for green flag stops and a maximum of 80 seconds for stops under caution. Tire changes were not allowed under green flag stops unless NASCAR specifically permitted it. [10]
