The 2019 B&L Transport 170 is a NASCAR Xfinity Series race held on August 10, 2019, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. Contested over 75 laps on the 2.26-mile (3.64 km) road course, it was the 21st race of the 2019 NASCAR Xfinity Series season.

Background

Track

The track is a road course auto racing facility located in Troy Township, Morrow County, Ohio, United States, just outside the village of Lexington. Mid-Ohio has also colloquially become a term for the entire north-central region of the state, from south of Sandusky to the north of Columbus.

The track opened as a 15-turn, 2.4 mile (3.86 km) road circuit run clockwise. The back portion of the track allows speeds approaching 180 mph (290 km/h). A separate starting line is located on the backstretch to allow for safer rolling starts. The regular start / finish line is located on the pit straight. There is grandstand seating for 10,000 spectators and three observation mounds alongside the track raise the capacity to over 75,000.
