Dacono, ColoradoTime zone GMT-7 Coordinates 40°03′35″N 104°58′28″W / 40.05968°N 104.974365°WCoordinates: 40°03′35″N 104°58′28″W / 40.05968°N 104.974365°W Length .375 mi (.604 km) Colorado National Speedway is a paved oval in Dacono, Colorado spanning 0.375 miles (0.604 km). 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 through 1997. 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.[1] This is listed as the closest finish in series history, although the video replay of the race may dispute that measurement.[2] The 1996 Colorado 200 saw Skinner dominate leading the final 220 laps and beat Miller by .7 seconds.[3] Ron Hornaday, Jr. won the final race in 1997.[4]
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.[5]
The NASCAR K&N Pro Series West has raced at Colorado eight times since 1995 with Mike Duncan and Eric Holmes tied for most-series wins at two each.[4]
