ARCA debuted at the track in 1971, when it ran for two years consecutively, and once more in 1974.[1] The race returned again in 1983, when it ran for three consecutive years with a second race in 1985. The track remained off the schedule until 2011, when it was added back to the schedule. The race would again go on hiatus for the 2013 season, but returned in 2014. Calypso Lemonade became the title sponsor of the race in 2020.[2] The race was taken off the schedule in 2021 but added back on in 2022 and Reese's became the title sponsor of the race that year.
