Zachary Tinkle will return for his third full-time season in the ARCA Menards Series East in 2025, driving the No. 11 Toyota Camry powered by Andy Hillenburg’s Fast Track Racing, beginning at Five Flags Speedway on March 22.
Chris Vanscoy will return to Fast Track Racing as the crew chief for Tinkle. Vanscoy has helped crew chief a variety of drivers in both ARCA’s premier series and ARCA East in 2024.
Tinkle has been competing part-time in the ARCA Menards Series since 2021, when he debuted with Wayne Peterson Racing at Berlin Raceway, finishing 13th in the No. 06 Ford. Throughout his tenure, Tinkle has made 40 starts in the series.
The 22-year-old native of Speedway, Indiana has made 21 career starts in the ARCA Menards Series East, achieving his best finish of fourth place at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway in 2024. During both of his full-time seasons in the ARCA East Series, from 2023 to 2024, Tinkle finished fourth in the overall points standings in both seasons.
“I am pleased to announce that I will be returning to Fast Track Racing to drive the No. 11 car full time in the 2025 ARCA Menards Series East season!” said Tinkle in a post on X. I am incredibly grateful to be back with everyone at Fast Track Racing for my third season after top 4 points finishes in both 2023 & 2024, and to be working with my new crew chief for 2025 Chris Vanscoy!”
Tinkle will also compete with his teammate, and ARCA East rookie contender, Takuma Koga, who will drive the No. 12 Toyota Camry entry for the full season.
The Pensacola 150 at Five Flags Speedway will air live on Flo Racing on Saturday, March 22.
