Originally a 300 lap race, it was added to the Busch Series schedule in 1988 and last run in 2004, after the owners, International Speedway Corporation, closed the facility.

The race was replaced with the Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen, another ISC-owned track.

After the closure of the track, the Xfinity Series would return to racing in Pennsylvania when Pocono Raceway held its inaugural Xfinity Series event, the Pocono Green 250 in 2016.

It was won by Kyle Larson after it was shortened by rain showers after just 53 of the scheduled 100 laps.

Elliott Sadler was the only former Nazareth winner to start that race.
