Five Flags Speedway will once again serve as the season-opener for the ARCA Menards Series East, with Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway and Flat Rock Speedway once again hosting standalone.
The much-anticipated return to Rockingham Speedway for the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series on Easter weekend will also include a standalone ARCA Menards Series East event on April 19.
Dover Motor Speedway (July 18), Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (July 25), Iowa Speedway (August 1), and Bristol Motor Speedway (September 11) will round out the season as the four companion races.
For the upcoming season, the ARCA Menards Series West will be getting their season started just a tad earlier, with a January 25 event at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway.
The traditional start to the season, at Phoenix Raceway in March, will instead serve as the second event in a 12-race West Series schedule.
Tucson Speedway returns to the ARCA Menards Series West schedule for the first time since 2019, with an event on April 5, while Colorado National Speedway also makes a return on May 24.
Phoenix (March), Sonoma (July), Portland (August), LVMS Bullring (October), and Phoenix (November) will all be run in conjunction with at least one of NASCAR’s National Series.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s Bullring returns to the schedule after not being included in 2024.
The 2024 ARCA Menards Series West campaign will be rounded out with an event on NASCAR Championship Weekend, at Phoenix Raceway on November 1.
