History

ARCA's inaugural trip to Phoenix was announced along with the rest of the 2020 series schedule on October 10, 2019. The race is a virtual carryover from the then-NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, which had run at the track at least once annually since 1998. On February 20, 2020, series tire manufacturer General Tire was announced as the race's title sponsor. In 2021, the ARCA Menards Series West joined the ARCA Menards Series in this race, making it a combination race for both series.
