The DoorDash 250 was an annual NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Sonoma Raceway.

The race was previously held during the first four years of the Truck Series (from 1995 to 1998), but was dropped for 1999 as the series' second road course date moved to Portland International Raceway. At the time, the track was known as Sears Point International Raceway and the race was held in October as a standalone race from the Cup Series schedule.

The 2022 race was held June 11, 2022 with Kyle Busch claiming the race victory. The race was held the same weekend as the NASCAR Cup Series' Toyota/Save Mart 350 and the ARCA Menards Series West's General Tire 200.

History
