The General Tire 200 is an ARCA Menards Series race held at Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama. Since 2009, it has been held in the spring on the same weekend as the NASCAR Cup Series' Jack Link's 500 and NASCAR Xfinity Series' Ag-Pro 300. It was previously held during the track's fall Cup Series weekend.
Footage from the 2006 race was shown in the 2008 U. S. remake of Funny Games. The race was also Juan Pablo Montoya's first race in a stock car (he finished 3rd in the race.)
The 2018 race currently has the closest margin of victory in ARCA Series history. The official margin of victory was 0.0029 seconds.
