History

The race was originally held from 1991 to 2001 but was dropped for the 2002 season and was replaced by a second race at Daytona on the same weekend as the Cup Series' 4th of July weekend race there. The race returned to the schedule in 2005 on the same weekend as the Cup Series race at the track and for two seasons was one of two road races on the series' schedule, the other being the Corona México 200 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in Mexico City. A third road course race, the NAPA Auto Parts 200 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal was added to the schedule in 2007, and there were three road courses on the schedule for the next two years until the Mexico City race was removed in 2009. Road America was added to the series' schedule in 2010 and for the next several years, Watkins Glen was one of three road courses on the series' schedule. In the original race, NASCAR Winston Cup veteran Terry Labonte and road course ringer Ron Fellows were the only two drivers to win multiple times, with 4 and 3 wins respectively. Since the race has been revived, Marcos Ambrose has won the most races with four, followed by Joey Logano who has won three and Kurt Busch who has won twice. Zippo Manufacturing Company was the title sponsor of the race from when it returned to the schedule in 2005 all the way until 2019. The race was not held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey became the title sponsor of the race in 2021. Sunoco replaced Skrewball as the title sponsor of the 2022 race. In 2023, Shriners Hospitals for Children became the title sponsor of the race.
