On September 18, 2021, Elizabeth Blackstock from Jalopnik reported that there were rumors of the track hosting an Xfinity Series race and a Truck Series race in 2022.[1] On September 25, Jordan Bianchi from The Athletic reported that Portland would likely be on the 2022 Xfinity Series schedule.[2] The schedule was released on September 29 with Portland on Saturday, June 4. It replaced the race at another road course, the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Both the Mid-Ohio and Portland races were promoted Green Savoree Racing Promotions. Mid-Ohio was given a Truck Series race after losing their Xfinity Series date.[3]

The race will be 147 miles and 75 laps long according to NASCAR.com.[4] Each of the stages will be 25 laps in length.[5]

On April 19, 2022, the track announced that Pacific Office Automation, a company located in nearby Beaverton, Oregon that makes technology for office space, would be the title sponsor of the race.[6]
