History
The inaugural race was run on July 31, 2010. The race was most notable for its qualifying procedure, with more than two cars running at the same time on the track. The inaugural winner was Elliott Sadler who became the 21st NASCAR driver to win in all three series.
The race was in length from 2010 to 2013; in 2014 it was extended to . The event marked the first time that the Truck Series raced in the state of Pennsylvania since 2001 at the now defunct Nazareth Speedway, and the first time that two of the three major NASCAR divisions now raced at Pocono since from 1974 to 2009 it was only the Cup Series that raced there.
In early 2019, NASCAR announced significant changes to the 2020 schedules for all three divisions at Pocono, with the NASCAR Cup Series running a doubleheader on Saturday and Sunday. The Truck race, which remained at 150 miles in length, was run on Saturday. However, due to rain, the event was postponed to Sunday morning.
On March 8, 2024, it was announced that the race would be lengthened from 150 to 175 miles starting in 2024. In December 2024, Pocono Raceway's website announced that the race would be extended further to 200 miles. MillerTech Battery was named the entitlement sponsor on May 1, 2025. In 2026, the race was removed from the schedule in favor of the ARCA Menards Series event. On August 18, 2026, it was announced that the race would return with the Arca race not returning.
