Since 2020, it has been part of theNASCAR Championship Weekend replacingHomestead–Miami.[2] In2023, whenCraftsman returned to become the title sponsor of the Truck Series, they took over the title sponsorship of the race, replacingLucas Oil.[3] The2023 race was controversial. Fans had noted that drivers had no respect on the track, which contributed to the amount of wrecks and overtime restarts in the final laps. The race would end up finishing around 11 PMMST, one of the latest that a NASCAR race has finished. With a race time of 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 32 seconds, it is also one of the longest Truck Series races in history.[4]
