It originally debuted as a summer night race, and was the only major NASCAR event in the state of Indiana. In previous years,USACstock car races were held at the facility, although the two events were not associated.

In 1994, the Kroger 200 was moved to the night before theWinston Cup Series'Brickyard 400 at the nearbyIndianapolis Motor Speedway. It appropriately began serving as an unofficial support race for larger Speedway's event. From 1994 to 2000, it was held on Friday night. Beginning in 2001, when the Brickyard 400 moved to Sundays, this race was held on Saturday night.

From 1995 to 2011, the race was held as a doubleheader weekend with theTruck SeriesAAA Insurance 200.

In 2011, the race was held for the last time in the foreseeable future. Starting in 2012 the Nationwide Series moved to theIndianapolis Motor Speedway for theIndiana 250. AnARCA race took its place.
