History

In 2007, the race was moved to April 28, in hopes of cooler weather for race day. As in the past 6 years the race was run on very hot and humid July days, making it hard for the fans and drivers. In 2011 the O'Reilly Auto Parts 250 was moved to the first week of June sharing the weekend with the new Sprint Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway, the STP 400.

Past winners

  • 2005 and 2016: The race was extended due to a NASCAR Overtime finish.
  • 2009: Race stopped after 61 laps on Saturday before postponing to Monday due to rain. NASCAR could not run the race Sunday because of the Indy Racing League features Sunday. When the race returned on Monday, the race was officially called after 132 laps due to rain.
