The NAPA 200 was a car race of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series , which was held from 1995 to 1997 at Tucson Raceway Park in Tucson , Arizona . No other of the top three NASCAR divisions have ever held races on this track.

When it was first held in 1995, the race was called Racing Champions 200 . Ron Hornaday junior won the race, second was PJ Jones , who was three laps behind and fought his way forward in the course of the race. The future champion Mike Skinner fell out. It would be his only failure in the 1995 season. For the first time in the history of NASCAR there was a “Green-White-Checkered-Finish” in the race , which means that the race was extended for the first time. This rule did not exist in any other series of NASCAR before the founding of the Craftsman Truck Series.

In the 1996 season Mike Skinner won the race, in 1997 in the third and final race it was again Ron Hornaday Jr., who crossed the finish line first.
