Stock car races in the now-NASCAR Xfinity Series were held at Nazareth Speedway in Nazareth, Pennsylvania between 1988 to 2004, after the owners, International Speedway Corporation, closed the facility. The race was replaced with a race (currently known as Mission 200 at The Glen) at Watkins Glen, another ISC-owned track.

The race was originally held for 300 laps, but shortened to 200 laps in 1991. Tim Fedewa and Ron Hornaday Jr. are the only two drivers with multiple wins in this race, both winning the event twice.

After the closure of the track, the Xfinity Series would return to racing in Pennsylvania when Pocono Raceway held its inaugural Xfinity Series event, the Pocono Green 250 in 2016. It was won by Kyle Larson after it was shortened by rain showers after just 53 of the scheduled 100 laps. Elliott Sadler was the only former Nazareth winner to start that race.
