History

2023 General Tire 150

ARCA previously ran at Charlotte Motor Speedway from 1996 to 2004. In 1996 and 1997, the series ran three times at the speedway: twice in May and once in either late September or early October. In 1998, the middle race was dropped, leaving just one spring race and one fall race. For 2004, the fall race was dropped, before the track was dropped altogether for the 2005 season.[1]

In 2018, the track returned to the ARCA schedule, replacing the race at Kentucky Speedway. In 2020, the ARCA race at Charlotte was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and moved back to Kentucky. The race returned to the series' schedule in 2021.
