The
Chevrolet Silverado 250
was a
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series
race held at
Canadian Tire Motorsport Park
(Mosport). It was first held in 2013, and served as the second round of the
Truck Series playoffs
from their introduction in 2016.
History
[
edit
]
The first race held on a
road course
by the Camping World Truck Series in 13 years,
[1]
it was announced that the race would be held starting in 2013, on
Labor Day
weekend, in November 2012, replacing the previous
NASCAR
Nationwide Series
race at
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
as NASCAR's annual event held in Canada.
[2]
In April 2013, it was announced that the race would be sponsored by
General Motors Canada
, becoming the
Chevrolet Silverado
250.
[3]
The inaugural event, run September 1, 2013, saw
James Buescher
win the pole at a speed of 109.189 miles per hour (175.723 km/h);
[4]
Ty Dillon
led the most laps in the race before contact between him and
Chase Elliott
at White's Corner coming to the checkered flag sent Dillon into a tire barrier.
[5]
Dillon promised that "next week he won't finish the race" but he didn't pursue any payback eventually. In 2014, Ryan Blaney battled
German Quiroga
and won in a photo finish. In 2016,
John Hunter Nemechek
and
Cole Custer
were battling for the lead when Nemechek bumped Custer before running both Custer and himself off-road, pinning Custer to the wall. Before the winner was declared, Nemechek was tackled by Custer; Nemechek would be named the winner.
[6]
Starting in 2018, the race became a playoff race and was held as the opener of the playoffs, and the event had yet another last-lap showdown as
Noah Gragson
and teammate
Todd Gilliland
wrecked in White's Corner, which let
Justin Haley
past to take the win. In 2019, it became the second race of the first round of the playoffs.
The 2020 and 2021 races were canceled due to the
COVID-19 pandemic
and replaced by dates at
Darlington Raceway
.
