History
During the inaugural race, Charlie Glotzbach led 285 laps out of 295 to win ahead of Charlie Blanton, who was two laps down. Before the race, only 13 cars were able to qualify before rain moved into the area, causing the remainder of the grid lined up according to sign-in time at the track.[1] From 1987 to 1992, the NASCAR Busch Series (now Xfinity Series) combined with the Busch North Series (now the ARCA Menards Series East). In 2008, the race returned to Rockingham and was won by Joey Logano after taking the pole position and leading 257 laps out of 312.[4] In 2009 Sean Caisse won the spring event, and Parker Kligerman won in the fall.[5][6] The final race in the main ARCA series was held in 2010, and was won by Ty Dillon.[7] In 2012, the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East raced their championship race and was won by Tyler Reddick.[8]
In October 2024, it was announced that the ARCA Menards Series East would return to Rockingham as a support race of the NASCAR Truck Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series races, and it was confirmed in the calendar in December 2024.[9][10]
