On Friday, the ARCA Menards Series announced a historic television rights agreement that will continue to see its 20-race schedule broadcast live on FOX Sports, through its cable channels FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2 through the 2028 ARCA Menards Series campaign.

An integral part of the agreement between FOX Sports and ARCA will have the season-opener at Daytona broadcasted live on FOX, marking the first time in series history that an event has been displayed on broadcast television.

“We’re proud of the long-standing partnership between ARCA and FOX Sports in what will span across three decades during the course of this most recent extension,” said Ben Baker, NASCAR VP of Broadcasting and Production Operations.”FOX’s coverage of the ARCA Menards Series continues to expand to a larger audience, and we’re looking forward to their coverage of great racing for in the years to come.”

In addition, the ARCA Menards Series has released its 20-race 2025 schedule, comprised of events at 19 different racetracks. The season-opener will take place at Daytona, as previously mentioned, while the season-finale will return to Toledo Speedway for the fourth straight year.

ARCA also announced on Friday that Menards, a long-time sponsor of the series, will continue its title partnership of the division.

“Menards has been the cornerstone of a strong foundation for ARCA and the ARCA Menards Series since 2009 when they became a presenting sponsor,” said ARCA president Ron Drager. “That relationship has only become stronger over the years and reached its pinnacle in 2019 when Menards became the series’ entitlement partner. It’s great to be associated with a company that knows racing inside and out and actively participates in building and growing the series. We are proud to continue to carry this relationship into the future.”

“We are thrilled to continue our relationship with the ARCA Menards Series,” said John Menard, President/CEO, Menards. “Our customers are hard-working people with strong Midwestern family values, and that aligns perfectly with the ARCA Menards Series, a series made up of hard-working racers who find a way to get things done on and off the racetrack.”
“Menards supports racing because the entire Menard family loves the sport,” said Mike Helton, Senior Advisor, NASCAR. “The continued partnership between Menards and ARCA is a tremendous benefit to the racers who compete in the ARCA Menards Series and the fans all across the country who love to see the stars of tomorrow racing at both grassroots-level short tracks and some of the biggest motorsports venues in the world.”
