History

edit

In the inaugural UNOH 225, which was held on July 7, 2011, Johnny Sauter won the pole position, but Kyle Busch won the race during a green-white-checkered finish.[3] Busch started in the last position after missing the drivers meeting held earlier that day.[4]

The race was removed from the NASCAR schedule in 2021.[5] The final race in 2020 was shortened by lightning and won by Sheldon Creed; it was the eventual Truck champion's first career series win.[6][7]
