I know for sure 1996 National was the week before July 4th and some years it was the week later than now as the East Coast National was the following week.

A quick search for show programs on EBAY show 1999 show was a week earlier than now and 1990 was July 4th week. One could search other years if it is of interest but the point is there was a time the show was a different week than the past several years.
