History

It hosted the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series during its first three seasons, 1995 through 1997. The 1995 Total Petroleum 200 featured a last lap battle where Butch Miller edged out Mike Skinner by .001 second for his only series win.[1] This is listed as the closest finish in series history, although the video replay of the race may dispute that measurement.[2] The 1996 Colorado 200 saw Skinner dominate leading the final 220 laps and beat Miller by .7 seconds.[3] Ron Hornaday, Jr. won the final race in 1997.[4]

For the 1998 season, Colorado was dropped from the schedule in favor of Pikes Peak International Raceway in Colorado Springs, which hosted the series until 2002.[5]

The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West has raced at Colorado 17 times since 1995 with Chris Eggleston with three wins is the driver with the most-series wins at the track.[4]

In 2019, the track was repaved.[6]

NASCAR Midwest Series ran 9 races at the speedway, from 1999 through 2006. Also NASCAR Southwest Series hosted 20 events at the track between 1992 and 2006.
