Stock car racing events in the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series have been held annually at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas since 1997.
From 1997 through 2004, a single race was held each year in the spring. Following the Ferko lawsuit, a second race was added in the fall for the 2005 season, with two races a year until 2022. For the 2023 season, the spring race was removed from the schedule, and the following year the remaining race was moved from its fall date to a spring one.
Current race
The Andy's Frozen Custard 340 is a NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series stock car race that takes place at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. Kyle Larson is the previous race winner.
History The race came about from the results of the Ferko lawsuit in 2004. With Darlington Raceway forced to forfeit its Southern 500 weekend as a result of the lawsuit, TMS gained a second weekend on the schedule for the NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series racing, and fifth race for the NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs.
The 2008 race was won by Kyle Busch, breaking Kevin Harvick's string of three consecutive wins in this race.
In 2021, the race gained sponsorship from Andy's Frozen Custard and was branded the Andy's Frozen Custard 335 to celebrate the company's 35th anniversary. Despite the number that represents the distance in the name being changed from 300 to 335, the actual length remained 300 miles. It was only 335 as a promotion for their anniversary. The event from 2022-2025 would be titled the Andy's Frozen Custard 300. In 2026, the race change from 300 to 340. Similar to 2021, the race would remain 300 miles to celebrate Andy's 40th anniversary.
