Stock car racing events in the NASCAR Truck Series have been held at Kansas Speedway, in Kansas City, Kansas during numerous seasons and times of year since 2001. Both races are 134 laps and 201 miles (323 km) each.

In 2020, the track had three Truck Series races, starting with a doubleheader in July due to the schedule changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Also beginning in 2020, the track began hosting an annual fall race as a replacement for the race at Eldora Speedway due to COVID-19, from 2020–2024, and returning in 2026. A third race was added after an event was moved from Chicagoland Speedway due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The RaceToStopSuicide.com 200 is a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas that has been held since 2001. The race is held on the weekend of the NASCAR Cup Series' Hollywood Casino 400. Kaden Honeycutt is the defending race winner.

History

The inaugural race was run on July 7, 2001, and was won by Ricky Hendrick.

The race has had multiple sponsors including: O'Reilly Auto Parts, SFP, Toyota Tundra, 37 Kind Days, Ally, and WillCo Intelligent Stored Energy (WISE) Power.

In 2022, AdventHealth became the new title sponsor of the Cup and Truck Series spring races at Kansas. The name of the Truck Series race was decided by a contest for AdventHealth employees. The winning name was "Heart of America". In 2025, to promote National Nurses Week, the race was renamed as the Heart of Health Care 200.

In 2026, the race was moved to the fall, joining the Hollywood Casino 400, after the O'Reilly Series race at Kansas was moved to the spring. The race was called the RaceToStopSuicide.com 200.
