History
![[icon]](#/media/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (June 2023) |
In 2021, the candy company Reese's, which joined ARCA as a corporate partner that year,[1] also became the title sponsor of the season-finale race of the series,[2] replacing Speediatrics. Reese's returned to racing sponsorship for the first time in 10 years, as they were previously a sponsor for Kevin Harvick in both the Xfinity and Cup Series when he drove for Richard Childress Racing, but left after the 2010 season. In 2022, Reese's switched their title sponsorship to the race at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park and the Kansas Lottery, which was the title sponsor of the race from 2004 to 2013, returned as the title sponsor of the race.[3] Sioux Chief Manufacturing would replace the Kansas Lottery as the race's title sponsor in 2023.[4]
