The race was only held once, on July 22, 2006, as a standalone event during the summer. It had been planned the race would be held at night, under a temporary lighting system to be installed at the track, instead it was held in the afternoon instead. The Goody's 250 replaced the ITT Industries & Goulds Pumps Salute to the Troops 250 on the Busch Series schedule. After a Busch Series Martinsville record high 19 cautions for 87 laps, the Goody's 250 was replaced in 2007 by the NAPA Auto Parts 200 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve road course in Montreal, Quebec, Canada; second-division NASCAR racing would not return to the track until 2020. The race was the final start in NASCAR for Darrell Waltrip and Ricky Craven.
