Wikipedia / NASCAR Xfinity Series at Michigan International Speedway

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

First held in 1992, the race was a 200 mile event from its inception through 1999, and was extended to 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.

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

The race was dropped from the Xfinity Series calendar in 2025, along with the races at Richmond and New Hampshire.
