After a revival of Rockingham Speedway two weeks ago in Southern North Carolina, the ARCA Menards Series East is set to make its annual visit to the 0.596-mile oval of Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway for the Music City 150.
Originally scheduled to race on Saturday night, inclement weather forced ARCA Meanrds Series officials to postpone the running of the 150-lap event to Sunday afternoon, with the event starting at 3:30 PM ET.
Joe Gibbs Racing has kicked off the year impressively, with its development drivers, Max Reaves and Brent Crews, each securing victories at Five Flags and Rockingham to start 2025.
15-year-old Reaves won the pole on Saturday afternoon after both practice and qualifying sessions were canceled due to rain.
Isaac Kitzmiller, the son of full-time West Virginian ARCA Menards Series driver Jason Kitzmiller, enters Sunday’s race with a narrow three-point lead over Kole Raz. However, Raz and the AM Racing crew had to withdraw from the 150-lap event.
A total of 18 cars are entered for Sunday’s race, featuring several notable names as well as newcomers making their ARCA East debuts. Only 16 of the 18 entrants will compete, as Raz and Brian Finney have withdrawn.
Quinn Davis and Jeff Maconi are among those making their ARCA East debuts at Nashville Fairgrounds. Davis will drive the No. 31 Rise Motorsports Toyota Camry, while Maconi will be behind the wheel of the No. 86 Clubb Racing Inc. Ford Fusion.
Jackson McLerran makes his first of four additional starts throughout the 2025 ARCA East season, driving the No. 96 MAN Motorsports Toyota Camry.
Unfortunately, two notable full-time ARCA East entries for 2025, Timmy Hill and rookie London McKenzie, are not in attendance this weekend at Nashville Fairgrounds due to incidents they suffered on track at Rockingham Speedway on April 19th.
Other noteworthy full-time entries for Sunday’s race include Takuma Koga, Zachary Tinkle, Brad Smith, and Nate Moeller, among others.
Joe Gibbs Racing aims for its third victory at Nashville Fairgrounds as an organization over the course of 150 laps, starting at 3:00 PM ET on Sunday afternoon.
The Music City 150 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway will air live on May 4 at 3:00 pm ET on FloRacing and ARCARacing.com.
