Template:Infobox NASCAR race The Lily Diabetes 200 was a race for the NASCAR Nationwide Series which took place at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis in Clermont, Indiana, In 2016, Lucas Oil Raceway will be added to the Xfinity Series lineup.
It originally debuted as a summer night race, and was the only major NASCAR event in the state of Indiana. In previous years, USAC stock car races were held at the track, although the two events were not associated.
In 1994, the Kroger 200 was moved to the night before the Winston Cup Brickyard 400 at the nearby Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It appropriately began serving as an unofficial support race for larger Speedway's event. From 1994–2000, it was held on Friday night. Beginning in 2001, when the Brickyard 400 moved to Sundays, this race was held on Saturday night.
From 1995–2011, the race was held as a doubleheader weekend with the Truck Series AAA Insurance 200.
The race was sponsored by Kroger during its entire existence from 1982–2011. It is the only race to keep its title sponsor since the inception of the series.
In 2011, the race was held for the last time in the foreseeable future. Starting in 2012, the Nationwide Series moved to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Indiana 250. An ARCA race is scheduled to take its place.
