Stock car racing events in the NASCAR Xfinity Series have been held annually at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas since 1997. The race is ran to a distance of 300 miles (480 km) and is known as Andy's Frozen Custard 300 for sponsorship reasons. Sam Mayer is the previous race winner.

From 1997 through 2004, a single race was held each year in the spring. Following the Ferko lawsuit, a second race was added in the fall for the 2005 season, with two races a year until 2022. For the 2023 season, the spring race was removed from the schedule, and the following year the remaining race was moved from its fall date to a spring one.

History

[edit]
O'Reilly Auto Parts was the title sponsor of this race every year until 2021. From 2017 to 2020, the race was known as the O'Reilly Auto Parts 300.

The race came about from the results of the Ferko lawsuit in 2004. With Darlington Raceway forced to forfeit its Southern 500 weekend as a result of the lawsuit, TMS gained a second weekend on the schedule for the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series racing, and fifth race for the NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs.

The 2008 race was won by Kyle Busch, breaking Kevin Harvick's string of three consecutive wins in this race.

In 2021, the race gained sponsorship from Andy's Frozen Custard and was branded the Andy's Frozen Custard 335 to celebrate the company's 35th anniversary. Despite the number that represents the distance in the name being changed from 300 to 335, the actual length remained 300 miles. It was only 335 as a promotion for their anniversary. The event in 2022 will be titled the Andy's Frozen Custard 300.

The SRS Distribution 250 was a NASCAR Xfinity Series race that took place each spring at Texas Motor Speedway since 1997. Since 2005, this has been one of two races for the series at the track, the other being the Andy's Frozen Custard 300 in the fall.

In 2011, the race became a Friday night race after being held on Saturday afternoon since 1997. In 2017, the race returned to being on a Saturday afternoon and My Bariatric Solutions, a part of Wise Health System, became the title sponsor of the race.[3] In 2021, the race was moved from April to June and paired with the track's spring Truck Series race, which had previously been held in June, and the NASCAR All-Star Race, which moved from Bristol Motor Speedway to Texas that year. Also, the distance of the race was reduced from 300 to 250 miles and Alsco became the title sponsor of the race that year.[4] In 2022, the All-Star Race and the Xfinity and Truck races on the same weekend were moved from June to May. SRS Distribution was the title sponsor of the race that year.[5]

Tyler Reddick is the last winner of the race.
