For the 35th-consecutive season, Daytona International Speedway will be the home of the ARCA Menards Series season-opener, albeit a week later than usual, as the track announced today that the series would run their 200-mile event on Saturday, February 13th.

According to the track’s website, the ARCA Menards Series will begin their season before the beginning of the NASCAR Xfinity Series season, giving fans the opportunity to see two races for the price of one, just one day before the 63rd Annual DAYTONA 500.

The annual ARCA Menards Series preseason test at Daytona International Speedway will be held on Friday and Saturday, January 15th and 16th, 2021.

Announcements on the official start times for both events will come at a later date.
