Scheduled to be contested over 400 laps but shortened to 311 laps because of the doubleheader format on the 1-mile (1.6 km) concrete speedway, it was the 25th race of the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season.

In addition to NASCAR, the track also hosted USAC and the NTT IndyCar Series.

The track, nicknamed "The Monster Mile", was built in 1969 by Melvin Joseph of Melvin L. Joseph Construction Company, Inc., with an asphalt surface, but was replaced with concrete in 1995.

Matt DiBenedetto was awarded the pole for the race as determined by the top 20 from Saturday's finishing order inverted.

Dave Burns, Parker Kligerman and Dillon Welch handled the pit road duties on site.
