The Chevrolet Silverado 250 was an exciting NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race. It took place at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Canada, also known as Mosport. This race started in 2013. From 2016 onwards, it was an important part of the Truck Series playoffs. It was usually the second race in the playoff series.

Race History and Highlights

How the Race Started

The Chevrolet Silverado 250 was the first road course race for the Truck Series in 13 years. A road course is a race track with turns in both left and right directions, unlike oval tracks. In November 2012, NASCAR announced this new race. It would be held every year on Labor Day weekend. This race replaced an older NASCAR event in Canada. In April 2013, General Motors Canada became the main sponsor. This is how it got the name Chevrolet Silverado 250.

Exciting Moments on the Track

The very first race was on September 1, 2013. James Buescher won the pole position, meaning he started first. Ty Dillon led most of the race. But near the end, he crashed after contact with Chase Elliott. Elliott was declared the winner.

In 2014, Ryan Blaney had a very close finish. He battled Germán Quiroga right to the end and won by a tiny margin. The 2016 race was also full of action. John Hunter Nemechek and Cole Custer were fighting for the lead. Nemechek bumped Custer, sending both off the track. Nemechek was named the winner after the crash.

Becoming a Playoff Race

Starting in 2018, the Chevrolet Silverado 250 became a playoff race. This meant it was one of the first races in the championship series. That year, there was another dramatic finish. Teammates Noah Gragson and Todd Gilliland crashed on the last lap. This allowed Justin Haley to pass them and win. In 2019, it was the second race in the first round of the playoffs.

Race Cancellations

The races planned for 2020 and 2021 were canceled. This happened because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, those races were moved to Darlington Raceway in the United States.
