The Clarington 200 (which used to be called the Mosport 200) is an exciting stock car race. It takes place twice a year at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada.
This race is a big part of the NASCAR Pinty's Series. This is Canada's top series for stock car racing. In earlier years, one race happened on the park's long road course. Another race was held on its oval speedway, which is now closed. The Clarington 200 has been a part of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series (now Pinty's Series) every year since 2007.
Before that, the race was part of other racing groups. These included the USAC Stock Car division and the ASA National Tour. It was also part of the CASCAR Super Series.
