ARCA Menards Series Unveils Schedule For 70th Anniversary Season
The ARCA Menards Series will run 20 races at 19 tracks in 2023 starting with the 60th race at Daytona International Speedway in February
The ARCA Menards Series schedule in 2023 will once again feature 20 races at 19 tracks, kicking off the series’ 70th anniversary season with its 60th race at Daytona International Speedway and concluding, for the second consecutive year, with its championship event at its home track: Toledo Speedway.
The series will compete on one of the most diverse lineups of race tracks in motorsports, including superspeedways, intermediate speedways, paved short tracks, a pair of road courses and a pair of one-mile dirt tracks.
The Highlights:
The season-opener will mark the 60th visit for the ARCA Menards Series to Daytona International Speedway dating back to 1964. The race will once again be held the day before the Daytona 500 in a doubleheader with the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
A pair of short-track races at Michigan’s Berlin Raceway and Minnesota’s Elko Speedway highlight the month of June.
In addition to the return of the successful same-day doubleheader with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park on Aug. 11, the series will add another doubleheader with the Truck Series at The Milwaukee Mile on Aug. 27.
The series will race in conjunction with the NASCAR Cup Series at Kansas Speedway, which is the only track to host two series races in 2023. The ARCA Menards Series will also join the Cup Series at Daytona, Phoenix Raceway, Talladega Superspeedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Michigan International Speedway, Watkins Glen International and Bristol Motor Speedway.
The series will make its fourth visit to both the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Watkins Glen for its two road course races.
For the second straight year, the series will conclude its season with three consecutive short-track races at Bristol, Indiana’s Salem Speedway and Toledo.
The ARCA Menards Series will also hold one combination race with the ARCA Menards Series West, at Phoenix Raceway in March, while the events at Iowa Speedway, Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, The Milwaukee Mile and Bristol Motor Speedway will be combination races with the ARCA Menards Series East.
