History

In 1995, NASCAR created a new spec-series, called the NASCAR SuperTruck Series. The first-ever race for the series in its history was held at Phoenix on February 5, 1995, titled the Skoal Bandit Copper World Classic. From 1995–1998, the track had two events, one in the spring and one in the fall. It has been held in the fall except for 1999 and 2000 when it was held in March and 2011 when it was held in February.

From 2020 until 2025, it was part of the NASCAR Championship Weekend replacing Homestead–Miami Speedway. In 2023, when Craftsman returned to become the title sponsor of the Truck Series, they took over the title sponsorship of the race, replacing Lucas Oil.

The 2023 race was controversial. Fans had noted that drivers had no respect on the track, which contributed to the amount of wrecks and overtime restarts in the final laps. The race would end up finishing around 11 PM MST, one of the latest that a NASCAR race has finished. With a race time of 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 32 seconds, it is also one of the longest Truck Series races in history.

In 2026, Homestead–Miami Speedway would return to its traditional date as the finale for all three national series and the events at Phoenix were held in October. On October 12, 2026, it was announced that the race would be titled the Zero Carbon Bioethanol 150 Powered by POET.
