The Ecosave 200 was an annual 200-mile (321.869 km) NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race held at the Dover Motor Speedway in Dover, Delaware. Kyle Busch was the defending winner of the event, having won it in 2026 only six days before his death.
History The race was the only race to be shown on tape delay during the past several seasons, but was televised live from 2012 to 2020. The race was a part of the Triple Truck Challenge in 2020. The race was taken of the schedule in 2021. The race made its return in 2026. On August 12, 2026, Dover announced the return of its points race, without a Craftsman Truck Series race.
