Stock car racing events in the ARCA Menards Series have been held at Bristol Motor Speedway, in Bristol, Tennessee during numerous seasons and times of year since 2012.

Bush's Beans 200

The Bush's Beans 200 is an annual 200-lap 106.6-mile (171.6km) ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East combination race held at Bristol Motor Speedway. It is held as part of the fall NASCAR weekend at the track.

History

In 2020, the ARCA Menards Series East would join the ARCA Menards Series as a part of the event. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the race became a combination race for the AMS and the East Series, now known as the ARCA Menards Series East, in 2020, and it has remained a combination race for both series ever since.

Starting in 2022, the race has been the final race of the Sioux Chief Showdown, a group of 10 races during the main ARCA Series season, all of which drivers under the age of 18 (who cannot run all the races during the season) are eligible to compete in, have the opportunity to win a championship in the series. (To promote the fact that it was the last race of the Sioux Chief Showdown in 2022, ARCA's website promoted the race as the Bush's Beans 200 Sioux Chief Showdown.)
