First ran in 2001, it was taken off the schedule after the 2004 season. In 2009, they announced after a six-year hiatus, Darlington would return to the Truck Series in August 2010. At the end of the year, they moved the race from August to mid-March for 2011. The race had been held under the lights since 2004. On November 21, 2011, it was announced that the event would once again be removed from the schedule.
The race returned to the Truck Series schedule in 2020 on Labor Day weekend initially as a one-off replacement date for theChevrolet Silverado 250 atCanadian Tire Motorsport Park, which was canceled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. It also became part of "throwback weekend" with the Cup and Xfinity Series, which already had races at Darlington that weekend.[1] It became a permanent date on the 2021 schedule and was pushed to the throwback weekend, now in May. The Truck Series race would continue to race with the Cup and Xfinity Series there as part of a new second race weekend for those two series there.[2]
TheSouth Carolina Education Lottery sponsored the race in 2020.[3] When it was retained on the 2021 schedule, The 4Less Group took over as title sponsor with its LiftKits4Less.com brand.[4] The State of South Carolina took over naming rights for the temporary 2021 race and the South Carolina Education Lottery returned as the race's associate sponsor after being the title sponsor in 2020. The name of the race was the In It To Win It 200 (presented by the South Carolina Education Lottery) as the state government partnered with the track to give away prizes to those who received aCOVID-19 vaccine at the track on the day of the race.[5] Dead On Tools became the title sponsor of the track's one race in 2022.[6]
For the races in 2023 and in 2024, theSouth Carolina Department of Public Safety sponsored the race called the Buckle Up South Carolina 200.[7]
For 2025, the race would move to theSouthern 500 weekend, where it will be held while the Xfinity Series will be racing atPortland International Raceway that weekend. Both the Truck and Cup races will start their respective series' playoffs. On May 7, it was announced that the South Carolina Department of Public Safety would remain as the sponsor for the Sober or Slammer 200.
