The Cabo Wabo 250 is a NASCAR Xfinity Series race that takes place at Michigan International Speedway. It is held on the same weekend as the track's NASCAR Cup Series race, the FireKeepers Casino 400.

History

First held in 1992, the race was a 200 mile event from its inception through 1999, and was extended to starting with the 2000 race.

The 2007 Carfax 250 was the first-ever carbon neutral stock car event. Through partnerships with The Conservation Fund and Carbonfund.org, Carfax offset all carbon emissions generated by the race, including carbon emissions from fans attending the race.[1]

On May 31, 2023, it was announced that Cabo Wabo would be the title sponsor of the 2023 race.[2]
