The Drive to Stop Diabetes 200 presented by Lilly Diabetes[1] is a NASCAR Xfinity Series race that takes place at Bristol Motor Speedway, the first of two Bristol races on the schedule. The first Busch Series race at Bristol was 150 laps, and was won by Phil Parsons in 1982. The race was not held in 1984. The race has increased in length several times since then. It was lengthened to 200 laps in 1985, 250 laps in 1990, and 300 laps in 2006, in 2016, the race will be reduced from 159.9 miles (257.3 km) to 106.6 miles (171.6 km), as part of the Dash 4 Cash race.
The race has been put on broadcast network television to heighten the popularity of the circuit; Fox's broadcasts of Bristol's Food City 500 were the first time broadcast network television covered the event; the 2004-06 races on aired as Nationwide/Cup Fox doubleheaders. Beginning in 2007 the event will be aired on ABC as part of ESPN2's new Nationwide Series television package, as ESPN2 is committed to the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament during that time.
