The 2020 My Bariatric Solutions 300 was a NASCAR Xfinity Series race held on July 18, 2020 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Contested over 201 laps – extended from 200 due to an overtime finish – on the intermediate quad-oval, it was the 16th race of the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series season. Austin Cindric won his third consecutive race after Kyle Busch's car failed post-race inspection.
The race was originally scheduled to be held on March 28, 2020, but was postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
