TOLEDO, Ohio (Sept. 27, 2017) - The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards is headed west to Kansas Speedway to wrap up the tour's 65th consecutive season of competition and crown a new national champion. The Kansas 150 gets the green flag Friday night, October 20.


The Kansas 150 also serves as the show-opener for big triple-header weekend of racing to include the NASCAR Xfinity Series Kansas Lottery 300 Saturday and the Monster Energy Cup Series Hollywood Casino 400 Sunday.

The Kansas 150 marks the 17th consecutive ARCA race at Kansas since the series debuted on the 1.5-mile superspeedway in 2001 - Jason Jarrett the inaugural winner. Other ARCA winners at Kansas include Frank Kimmel, Shelby Howard, Ryan Hemphill, Chad Blount, Scott Lagasse, Jr., Scott Speed, Parker Kligerman, Ty Dillon, Alex Bowman, Spencer Gallagher, Mason Mitchell and Chase Briscoe.

Fort Kent, Maine's Austin Theriault (Ken Schrader Racing), on the strength of seven wins this year, has a commanding lead in the national championship driver standings headed into the season finale over Cunningham Motorsports' Dalton Sargeant. In fact, if Theriault "enters and competes" at Kansas he will indeed clinch the national championship. Sargeant's Cunningham teammate Shane Lee, also entering Kansas, is currently third in championship points. Roush Fenway Racing development driver Ty Majeski is also expected to enter at Kansas in a third Cunningham Ford. >>READ MORE
