It all comes down to Toledo.
The 2022 ARCA Menards Series champion will be crowned Saturday afternoon when Nick Sanchez and Daniel Dye compete in the Shore Lunch 200 at Toledo Speedway.
The race serves as the finale of the 20-event
2022 ARCA Menards Series schedule and will be the 82nd visit by the series to the half-mile paved oval.
Sanchez enters the Shore Lunch 200 with a two-point advantage on Dye in the ARCA Menards Series standings.
