The Kroger 200 is a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race that takes place in the fall at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. The track did not host a fall race from 1999–2002, and the length of the race has changed several times, from 150 laps in 1995, to 250 laps in 1996. During 1999 the race was held at Louisville Motor Speedway and was known as the Kroger 225. Then in 2000-2001 the race site moved to Richmond International Raceway and yet again known as the Kroger 200. In 2002 the race was known again as the Kroger 225 but this time was held at Kentucky Speedway. When Martinsville regained its fall race in 2003, the length of the race was reduced to its present length of 200 laps. In 2009, Martinsville was one of two tracks to host two Camping World Truck Series races. Starting in 2010, the winner of the 200 lap race would get a grandfather clock, whereas in the past it was only given to the winner of the 250 lap event.
