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. 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 raced at Colorado eight times since 1995 with Mike Duncan and Eric Holmes tied for most-series wins at two each.
