The 2016 Texas Roadhouse 200 was the 20th stock car race of the 2016 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, the first race of the Round of 6, and the 18th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, October 29, 2016, in Ridgeway, Virginia, at Martinsville Speedway, a 0.526-mile (0.847 km) permanent paper-clip shaped racetrack. The race took the scheduled 200 laps to complete. Johnny Sauter, driving for GMS Racing, would hold off a fast-charging Chase Elliott with 19 laps to go, and earned his 12th career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win, and his second of the season. He would also earn an automatic spot in the championship 4. Elliott mainly dominated the race, leading 105 laps.[1] To fill out the podium, John Hunter Nemechek, driving for NEMCO Motorsports, would finish in 3rd, respectively.
This race would also make history, as Harrison Burton and Kyle Donahue became the first drivers born in the 2000s decade and the 21st century to race in a NASCAR national series event.
