The Cup and Truck races that will be given to Vegas will come from New Hampshire, making the 2017 running the last race. The race returned on the schedule in 2025.[2]

- 1996, 1999, 2000, & 2002: This race was extended due to a NASCAR Overtime finish.
- 2004: Race delayed 5 hours due to rain from Hurricane Ivan but eventually got underway. After a caution came out with two laps to go in the scheduled distance, an overtime finish was planned, but darkness had rolled in due to the late start. Instead of having an overtime finish, officials decided to end the race under caution at the end of the scheduled distance.[23]
- 2014: This was Cole Custer's first truck win, making him the youngest winner in NASCAR national touring series history at 16 years, 7 months and 28 days.[24]
