The Drive for the Cure 250 presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina is a NASCAR Xfinity Series stock car race that takes place at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. The 1985 race was extended to 400.5 miles (644.5 km), which still stands as the longest race distance run in Xfinity Series history.

It is held before the NASCAR Cup Series' Bank of America Roval 400 in the playoffs.

In 2018, the race was shifted to run the "Roval" infield road course configuration of Charlotte. With this, the race length was shortened from 300 miles to 200 kilometers (125 miles). It would also move up a week on the Xfinity Series schedule, the middle race of the first round of the playoffs. Chase Briscoe became the first Xfinity Series driver to win the race in its Roval configuration.^[1] The race was increased to 67 laps and 250 km (155.34 mi) in 2019.^[2]
