2025 ARCA Menards Series

Well a few always troll the ARCA series, but after watching many from the pavement late model programs fail running ARCA and disappear, car counts and tire bills are the least of their worries.

I actually like ARCA and want the series to do well, so I was sad to see this entry list.
I watched a lot of ARCA races until 23 and even took a peak into a few races last year, always liked the mix of up-and-comers and seasoned veterans and the mix of short tracks and NASCAR speedway tracks.
The races were less of a mess than the trucks most weeks.
 
I wonder why the West car counts have fallen that far?
 
Rooting for Cleetus as it is the most ridiculous possible outcome.

East (which of course used to be North) and West both lost the pipeline of cheap Cup chassis for a decade plus. Also the way driver development was done changed so you have factory supported drivers with multi-million dollar budgets racing against a guy who is used to finishing 15th at South Boston. This is what's left.

I don't think he can out spend the factory teams myself, but I think he will be competitive and make less mistakes than a lot of them lol.

Tyler Reif is probably the best competition there on that list.

Don't see any factory teams except JGR which doesn't have a full-time driver.

Gibbs loads up all of the 3 series with part timers. ARCA part timers Sawalich and Crews are full time Xfinity and and full time Truck drivers. I forgot the part that I don't think they get driver points but they get car owners points I believe. I think Ford and Chevy do the same in the big Menards part. So Hill has a good chance like you said of getting the title. Reif might give him fits though like kkfan91 is saying.

Everyone gets driver points in ARCA.
I think it makes sense that young guys who race Xfinity or Trucks still do a couple of ARCA races. They need all the seat time they can get.
 
They race many of the same tracks in ARCA that they do in the other three series. It's a no brainer. But when you are racing against factory backed teams using more skilled part timers it's hard to be very competitive. They take many of the wins away.
 
London McKenzie was driving Legend Cars last year. That's quite a big jump to go right to ARCA and skip Late Models.
 


Also a full time college student at Arizona State University studying Aerospace engineering. Big brain. :p
 
So Rise Motorsports was out there letting some kid practice with the window net down and no Hans device...
