After spending some time under the Friday night lights at Iowa Speedway, the ARCA Menards Series journeys to the center of Ohio, for the Zinsser SmartCoat 150 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
The Series has been traveling to the 2.258-mile road course since 2021 with former winners including Ty Gibbs, Taylor Gray, and Tyler Ankrum in 2023.
Ankrum Accomplishes The Comeback, Wins ARCA Zinsser SmartCoat 150 at Mid-Ohio
Heading into the twists and turns, this week’s race is set to bring its own eventful race after last weekend’s run at Iowa.
Looking to rebound to his stellar road course form, William Sawalich hops behind the wheel of the No. 18 once more. He took the win earlier this season in Portland in the ARCA Menards Series West but had a tougher weekend at Sonoma. He’ll look to get one position better after a second-place finish in Iowa to race winner Connor Zilisch and Pinnacle Racing Group.
The Pinnacle No. 28 Chevy will be running, but Kansas Speedway winner Connor Mosack takes the seat this weekend.
Several drivers in the Venturini Motorsports stable after some tougher weekends. Last week, accidents cost Amber Balcaen and Kris Wright in the driver’s points battle. Meanwhile, Brent Crews hops back into the No. 55 machine after a tough 23rd in the West race at Sonoma. Joining them is Gio Ruggiero and Toni Breidinger.
X fan favorite and normally a crew guy, Brad Perez is set to hop behind the wheel once more in ARCA, teaming up with Andy Hillenberg and Fast Track Racing to pilot the No. 10.
proud to be driving for @FastTrack_11 this weekend in the Sebetka Bail Bonds & Race City Graphics #10 car!!
