The Calypso Lemonade 200[1] is a 137.2-mile (220.8 km), 200-lap annual ARCA Menards Series race held at Lucas Oil Raceway in Brownsburg, Indiana. The inaugural event was held on June 19, 1971 and was won by Ramo Stott. The race has been run annually since 2014.

History[]

ARCA debuted at the track in 1971, when it ran for two years consecutively, and once more in 1974.[2] The race returned again in 1983, when it ran for three consecutive years with a second race in 1985. The track remained off the schedule until 2011, when it was added back to the schedule. The race would again go on hiatus for the 2013 season, but returned in 2014, where it has remained since.[3]
