The inaugural race was run on July 7, 2001, and was won by Ricky Hendrick. In 2020, the track had three Truck Series races, starting with a doubleheader in July due to the schedule changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Also beginning in 2020, the track began hosting an annual fall race but it wouldn’t return after the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, 2024 season. The track's third race, the Clean Harbors 200, was added to the schedule as a replacement for Eldora Dirt Derby, the race at Eldora Speedway due to COVID-19. This race, held on the same weekend as the

In 2022, AdventHealth became the new title sponsor of the Cup and Truck Series spring races at Kansas, replacing Busch Beer and WISE Power, respectively. The Cup race would be called the AdventHealth 400 but the name of the Truck Series race was decided by a contest for AdventHealth employees. The winning name was "Heart of America".
