EasyCare Vehicle Service Contracts 150

The EasyCare Vehicle Service Contracts 150 was a 150 mi annual ARCA Menards Series race held at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. The inaugural event was held on October 2, 1996 and was won by Tim Steele. The race was removed from the calendar in favor of narrowing Charlotte down to one ARCA race.

History
For 2004, the fall race was dropped, before the track was dropped altogether for the 2005 season.

Automobile Racing Club of America driver Eric Martin was killed Wednesday in a crash during practice at Lowe's Motor Speedway.

Martin, 33, of Hixson, Tenn., was the second ARCA fatality in barely a year at the 1.5-mile track near Charlotte. Blaise Alexander died last Oct. 4 in the ARCA race. Martin was wearing a head restraint and died of massive internal injuries, track officials said.

Alexander was not wearing a head restraint and died of basilar skull fracture, the same thing that killed NASCAR stars Dale Earnhardt, Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin Jr. Since Alexander's death, both NASCAR and ARCA have mandated head restraints for all drivers.

Second Spring race
The EasyCare Certified 200 was an ARCA Menards Series race run in May of 1996 and 1997. The race was dropped from the schedule for the 1998 season. The middle race had no repeat winners.
