Colorado National Speedway is a .375 paved oval in Dacono, Colorado. The
track is currently a member of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series and
hosts the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West annually.

It hosted the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series during its first three
seasons, 1995-97. The 1995 Total Petroleum 200 featured a last lap
battle where Butch Miller edged out Mike Skinner by .001 second for his
only series win. This is listed as the closest finish in series history,
although the video replay of the race may dispute that measurement. The
1996 Colorado 200 saw Skinner dominate leading the final 220 laps and
beat Miller by .7 seconds. Ron Hornaday, Jr. won the final race in 1997.

For the 1998 season, Colorado was dropped from the schedule in favor of
Pikes Peak International Raceway in Colorado Springs, which hosted the
series until 2002.

The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West has races at Colorado 8 times since 1995
with Mike Duncan and Eric Holmes tied for most-series wins at 2 each.

Site of perhaps the closest finish in NASCAR's top-3 series when Butch
Miller nipped Mike Skinner at the line in a Truck race in 1995.

This track was to host a fourth Truck race in 1998 and was even on the
schedule at the start of the season before the race was shifted during
the year and run at the Pikes Peak International Raceway instead.
