The United Rentals 200 is a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race that takes place in the fall at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. It was first run in 2003, the first fall race at Martinsville since the Kroger 250 changed to a spring date in 1999. Starting in 2010, the winner of the 200-lap race would get a grandfather clock, where in the past it was only given to the winner of the 250-lap event.[2]

History[]

In the 2013 race, Bubba Wallace became the first African American to win in a Truck Series race in series history the first driver since 1963 to win a race in any of NASCAR's three national series.[3] He won back-to-back races at Martinsville when he drove his Kyle Busch Motorsports truck to the win in the 2014 fall Martinsvlle race. His truck number was changed from No. 54 to No. 34 for this one race as a tribute to fellow African American driver Wendell Scott being inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame a few months later.

The 2020 race was held at night and became the Truck Series' only annual visit to Martinsville.[4][5] That year and in 2019, the NASCAR Hall of Fame was the title sponsor.[6]
