NASCAR Hall of Fame 200
The NASCAR Hall of Fame 200 is a NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors 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]
