The Craftsman 150 is a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race held at Phoenix Raceway. The 150-lap, 1 mile (1.6 km) race has been the last race of the year for the Truck Series between 2020 and 2025.

History

From 1995 until 1998, two races were held each year at Phoenix for the series. The 1995 Skoal Bandit Copper World Classic was the first-ever race for the series in its history. Since 1999, the track has one Truck Series race each year and which has been held the fall each year except for 1999 and 2000 when it was held in March and 2011 when it was held in February.

From 2020 until 2025, it has been part of the NASCAR Championship Weekend replacing Homestead–Miami Speedway. In 2023, when Craftsman returned to become the title sponsor of the Truck Series, they took over the title sponsorship of the race, replacing Lucas Oil. The 2023 race was controversial. Fans had noted that drivers had no respect on the track, which contributed to the amount of wrecks and overtime restarts in the final laps. The race would end up finishing around 11 PM MST, one of the latest that a NASCAR race has finished. With a race time of 2 hours, 27 minutes, and 32 seconds, it is also one of the longest Truck Series races in history.
