As the ARCA Menards Series heads to Kansas Speedway for the Tide 150, De Soto, KS. native, Mandy Chick, it means a little more.
“I am looking forward to returning to my home track and seeing a lot of local fans,” she said.
The 22-year-old grew up attending races at the 1.5-mile oval, but also had her share of success on the track with a ninth-place finish last season in her Chick Engineering No. 74 Chevrolet.
This weekend marks her return to the track in the ARCA Menards Series since the season opener at Daytona, where she was faced with bad luck and got caught up on a lap four crash, taking her out of contention for the race just a year prior in 2023, she pulled off a stunning top-five finish.
