The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Championship Race is a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race held at Homestead–Miami Speedway. The 134-lap race can also be known as the Baptist Health 200 as the race winner's (not championship) trophy has the name on it. The race has been the last race of the year for the Truck Series since 2020.

Corey Heim is the race's defending winner.

History

In 2016, The Truck Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series both implemented a playoff system, similar to the NASCAR Cup Series, Homestead–Miami Speedway was the original home until 2019.

Since 2020, it has been part of the NASCAR Championship Weekend replacing Homestead–Miami.[1] In 2023, when Craftsman returned to become the title sponsor of the Truck Series, they took over the title sponsorship of the race, replacing Lucas Oil.[2] The 2023 race was controversial. Fans had noted that drivers had no respect on the track, which contributed to the amount of wrecks and overtime restarts in the final laps. The race would end up finishing around 11 PM MST, one of the latest that a NASCAR race has finished. With a race time of 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 32 seconds, it is also one of the longest Truck Series races in history.[3]
