The Quaker State 400 presented by Walmart, commonly known as simply the Quaker State 400, was a 400.5-mile (644.5 km) annual NASCAR Cup Series race held at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky. The inaugural event was held on July 9, 2011, and was won by Kyle Busch. From 2012 to 2014, the race was held the week before the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Independence Day weekend. From 2015 to 2019, the event moved back two weeks, coming after Daytona and preceding New Hampshire. Cole Custer won the last running of the event in 2020; the race date was returned to Atlanta Motor Speedway in 2021.
NBC returned to NASCAR broadcasting with the 2015 running of the Quaker State 400 after the four years were on TNT.
