Brent Crews is officially two-for-two in the ARCA Menards Series in 2025.
The Davidson, North Carolina-native put on a punishing performance in Saturday’s ARCA Menards Series East event at the historic Rockingham Speedway, leading a race-high 121 of 125 laps.
Crews was basically uncontested on his way to the victory Saturday, with the only thing resembling a challenge coming from his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate William Sawalich, on the restarts.
The final restart of Saturday’s event came during the final 15 laps and didn’t feature much of a challenge from Sawalich to Crews, allowing the No. 81 Mobil 1 Toyota Camry to drive away with ease.
At the end of the race’s 125th and final lap, Crews had extended his gap to a massive 6.142 seconds, crossing under the checkered flag to collect his fourth win under the ARCA Menards Series sanction.
William Sawalich finished runner-up to his teammate on Saturday, gaining the NASCAR Xfinity Series driver some much-needed momentum after a couple of tough weeks.
Eloy Sebastian Lopez Falcon, making his ARCA Menards Series East debut at Rockingham Speedway on Saturday, brought home an impressive third-place result in the No. 10 Fast Track Racing Chevrolet, prepared by REV Racing.
Patrick Staropoli brought his No. 25 Toyota Camry home in fourth place for Venturini Motorsports, while Andy Jankowiak and KLAS Motorsports rounded out the top five.
Isaac Kitzmiller brought home a respectable sixth-place finish for CR7 Motorsports, while Kole Raz, ARCA Menards Series East debutant Lanie Buice, Lavar Scott, and Spencer Gallagher rounded out the top-10.
The event featured five caution flags, two leaders, and six lead changes.
Leaving Rockingham Speedway, Isaac Kitzmiller, driving the No. 79 for CR7 Motorsports, is leading the ARCA Menards Series East point standings by three markers over Kole Raz. Tyler Reif currently sits third in points.
Up next for the ARCA Menards Series East is a trip to Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in May.
