The Cabo Wabo 250 was a NASCAR Xfinity Series race that took place at Michigan International Speedway. It was held on the same weekend as the track's NASCAR Cup Series race, the FireKeepers Casino 400.

History

[edit]
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]
