The few articles I could find didn't list an official race name, just details like the track, the number of laps, and the winner. I did find a page on Wikipedia that refers to this race as the "Richmond 200", but since it's Wikipedia, who knows how accurate it is. No source is referenced. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Owners_400 (look in the right column) 6.
