History[edit]

In 2016, Great Clips became the title sponsor of the race.[1]
In 2020, series title sponsor Camping World sponsored the race along with the Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix), which is an organization that gives out tickets to sporting events to members of the U.S. Armed Forces.[2]
Fr8 (pronounced "freight") Auctions became the title sponsor of the race in 2021.[3] Stages 1 and 2 were both 30 laps long and the final stage was 70 laps long.[4] They returned as the title sponsor in 2022 when the race was lengthened by 8 miles. Therefore, the name of the race became the Fr8 Auctions 208.[5]
