The Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 presented by Westgate Resorts is a 134-lap, 200miles NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race that takes place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The inaugural race was held in 2018.

History

Despite the agreement, Speedway Motorsports decided to cancel the second New Hampshire Motor Speedway race and that Las Vegas Motor Speedway would get a second Cup date, second Xfinity date, and second Truck date.[2] [3]

For the 2018 race, the race was known as the Stratosphere 200.[4]

The race name was changed to the Strat 200 for 2019.[5] In 2020, the race was moved to the second round of the season.[6]

Bucked Up acquired naming rights to the event in 2021.[7]

In 2022, after the track announced they would be downsizing to just one truck event, the naming rights of the fall race in 2021 (Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 presented by Westgate Resorts), became the title sponsor of the spring race.
