History

The ARCA Permatex SuperCar Series (now known as the ARCA Menards Series), ran its inaugural race at the track in 1986. It then was off the schedule for a dozen years. In 1999, it was added back to the series (now the ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series) schedule and remained on it each year until 2017, when it was taken off the ARCA schedule in exchange for a NASCAR K&N Pro Series East race.

Todd Gilliland won the only East Series race at the track in 2017. [1] After one year on the East Series schedule, the race was moved back to the ARCA schedule in 2018 but taken off again in 2019.

A second East Series race (now the ARCA Menards Series East after ARCA's merger with NASCAR) was scheduled for July 25, 2020, but cancelled and replaced by a race at Toledo Speedway due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [2] The race was moved back to the main ARCA Series schedule again in 2021.

However, due to the impact of COVID-19, two additional races were held at Toledo as part of the 2020 ARCA Menards Series, with a third campanion event between the 2020 ARCA Menards Series and the 2020 ARCA Menards Series East, called the Royal Truck & Trailer 200. Afterwards, the race remained on the main ARCA schedule, serving as the season finale in 2022.
