TheBennett Transportation & Logistics 250 is aNASCAR Xfinity Seriesstock car race held atAtlanta Motor Speedway inHampton, Georgia, a few miles south ofAtlanta. This race had been Atlanta's lone Busch/Nationwide/Xfinity Series date until 2021 when a second race was added in July. Although it has been shuffled around the schedule several times, most years, it has been held at the beginning of the season in February or March.
Jeff Gordon,Mike Skinner,Jamie McMurray, andCarl Edwards have gotten their first series wins in this race.
Following the transfer of the season ending Cup series race from Atlanta toHomestead–Miami Speedway after the 2001 season (although due to theSeptember 11 attacks, the 2001 Atlanta fall race was the second-to-last race of the season whenthe race at New Hampshire was moved from September to November as the last race of the season), the then 312-mile race was moved to Atlanta's fall race weekend where it remained until Aaron's Rental, who was sponsoring the race, chose instead to sponsor thelone Busch event at Talladega. The race gained sponsorship fromGlaxoSmithKline through itsNicorette brand[1][2] and moved back to its traditional spring date.
In September 2008,NASCAR officials announced that Nicorette would not renew its corporate sponsorship for race after the2008 season. On October 26, 2008 it was announced thatUnilever's deodorant brandDegree will take over sponsorship of this race starting in2009. It was later announced that the now-Degree V12 300 would be moving to September as part of the latest round ofNASCAR realignment, which resulted in thePep Boys Auto 500, theAMP Energy 500 at Talladega, and thePepsi 500 atFontana/Auto Club Speedway trading places. The Degree V12 300 took the place of theCamping World RV Service 300 on NASCAR's Labor Day weekend race schedule and serves as an accompanying race to theAdvoCare 500.
In 2015, the Xfinity race at Atlanta moved along with the Cup race (Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500) to the second weekend of the season and ran as a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon along with theTruck Series. The race was also reduced to 250 miles in order to make the race a doubleheader on the same day.[3]
EchoPark Automotive became the title sponsor of the race in 2020,[4] replacingRinnai. That year, the race had been moved from being in February and the second race of the season and the first race before the three-race west coast swing to March and as the fifth race of the season as the first race after the west coast swing. However, the race was moved again from March to June due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[5] In 2021, the race returned to March. In 2022, Nalley Automotive Group replaced EchoPark as the title sponsor and the new name of the race was theNalley Cars 250.[6] In 2023, Raptor Coatings replaced Nalley as the title sponsor and the new name of the race was theRaptor King of Tough 250.[7] In 2025, Bennett Transportation & Logistics, the primary sponsor of defending Atlanta Xfinity Series race winnerAustin Hill, would become the title sponsor of this race, replacing Raptor.
