Stock car racing in the then-NASCAR Xfinity Series have been held at the Michigan International Speedway between 1992 and 2024. The Race was last held under as the Cabo Wabo 250. Justin Allgaier is the last winner.

History

New Holland Agriculture was the title sponsor of the race in 2021 and 2022

First held in 1992, the race was a 200 mile event from its inception through 1999, and was extended to 250 miles (400 km) starting with the 2000 race.

The 2007 Carfax 250 was the first-ever carbon neutral stock car event. Through partnerships with The Conservation Fund and Carbonfund.org, Carfax offset all carbon emissions generated by the race, including carbon emissions from fans attending the race.[1][2]

On May 31, 2023, it was announced that Cabo Wabo would be the title sponsor of the 2023 race.[3]

The race was dropped from the Xfinity Series calendar in 2025, along with the races at Richmond and Loudon, as well as the second Darlington race.[4]
