The DC Solar 200 is a NASCAR Xfinity Series race held at ISM Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Bashas' Supermarkets sponsored the November race from 2002 until 2004. In 2005, they moved their sponsorship to the second Phoenix race added to the schedule in April.

In 2017, the event was one of the four Xfinity Dash4Cash events, taking Indianapolis Motor Speedway's spot and making the 2017 Dash4Cash events at Phoenix, Bristol, Richmond, and Dover. But in 2018, the Dash4Cash event moved to the Sparks Energy 300 at Talladega.
