The Buckle Up in Your Truck 225 presented by Click It or Ticket was a 225-mile-long (362 km) annual race NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series race held at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky. Kentucky received a second date beginning in 2011 as part of NASCAR's latest round of schedule realignment; since 2000 the track had always held a Truck Series event.[2]
History
In the inaugural UNOH 225, which was held on July 7, 2011, Johnny Sauter won the pole position, but Kyle Busch won the race during a green-white-checkered finish.[3] Busch started in the last position after missing the drivers meeting held earlier that day.[4]
The race was removed from the NASCAR schedule in 2021.[5] The final race in 2020 was shortened by lightning and won by Sheldon Creed; it was the eventual Truck champion's first career series win.[6][7]
Past winners
- 2011: This race was extended due to a NASCAR Overtime finish.
- 2015: The race was shortened due to damage to the catchfence from Ben Kennedy's wreck.
- 2017: Race started Thursday but ended shortly after midnight Friday due to a rain delay.
- 2020: Race moved from July 9 to July 11 due to schedule changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The race was shortened due to rain/lightning after the completion of Stage 2 at lap 70.
