Joe Ruttman won the inaugural Truck Series spring race, at Martinsville in1999.[3]
In the 2004 race,Brad Keselowski made his NASCAR national series debut.
Dennis Setzer's win in the2008 race was the last Truck Series win forDodge before they rebranded their Truck Series vehicles toRam Trucks starting in2009. It was also the last win for his team,Bobby Hamilton Racing, which closed down at the end of the season.
In the 2013 race,Chase Elliott made his NASCAR national series debut.
In 2020, as part ofschedule realignment, the fall race became the only Truck Series race at the track as NASCAR decided to give the track oneXfinity Series race instead. This schedule change was done in a swap withRichmond Raceway, which previously had two Xfinity Series races and zero Truck Series races and would now have one Xfinity Series race and one Truck Series race (which replaced the spring race at Martinsville).
In 2022, the fall Truck Series race at Martinsville was moved to the spring and there was no fall Truck Series race at the track for the first time since2002.
In 2023,Long John Silver's became the title sponsor of the race, replacing Blue-Emu.[4]

TheZip Buy Now, Pay Later 200 is aNASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race atMartinsville Speedway inRidgeway, Virginia that has been held since 2003. The race is held on the weekend of the NASCAR Cup Series'Xfinity 500.Christian Eckes is the defending race winner.
Although winners of theNASCAR Cup Series races at Martinsville were givengrandfather clocks in substitution of a race trophy, only the winners of the spring Truck Series race would also get a grandfather clock. That would change in2010 as the winners of both Truck Series races at Martinsville got a grandfather clock.[35]
In the2013 race,Bubba Wallace became the firstAfrican American to win in a Truck Series race in series history and the firstAfrican American driver since 1963 to win a race in any of NASCAR's three national series.[36] He won back-to-back races at Martinsville when he drove hisKyle Busch Motorsports truck to the win in the 2014 fall Martinsville race. That year, his truck number was changed from No. 54 to No. 34 for this one race as a tribute to fellow African American driverWendell Scott being inducted into theNASCAR Hall of Fame a few months later.
The 2020 race was held at night and became the Truck Series' only annual visit to Martinsville.[37][38] That year and in 2019, theNASCAR Hall of Fame was the title sponsor.[39]United Rentals became the title sponsor of the fall Truck Series race at Martinsville in 2021,[40] which was the last year the Truck Series held a race in the fall at the track.
In 2022, the fall Truck Series race at Martinsville was moved to the spring and there was no fall Truck Series race at the track for the first time since2002. The race returned in2024 under the Zip Buy Now, Pay Later 200.[41]
