In 2020, the race was cancelled and moved to Toledo due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With this race off the schedule, Menards also moved their title sponsorship to the new Toledo race.
In 2024, the race would be held in August for the first time and Shore Lunch, previously the title sponsor of the race in 2017, returned as title sponsor, replacing Menards. In 2025, the race was held back in June.
