Logan Seavey captured the inaugural running in 2018 with the winning pass coming four laps from the finish.  Tanner Carrick won his first career series race in 2019 just three laps from the conclusion.

Last year, on the opening night at Sweet Springs, Cannon McIntosh won the race with a stirring last lap maneuver to score the victory.  On the second night, Kofoid thrived to fend off and defeat past series champion Tyler Courtney to the checkered during the final laps to score his first career series triumph.
