Toledo Speedway

TEMPERANCE, Mich. (April 9, 2024) – Toledo-based Owens Corning, a global building and construction materials leader, will become the entitlement partner of the 2024 championship race for the ARCA Menards Series at Toledo Speedway on Saturday, October 5.

“We are thrilled to partner with a company with such strong Toledo roots to become the entitlement partner for the 2024 season finale at Toledo Speedway,” said ARCA president Ron Drager. “We are poised to have a great battle for the ARCA Menards Series championship in 2024 and we look forward to it coming down to the final race of the season at the series’ home track.”

The Owens Corning 200 will be the third consecutive year the ARCA Menards Series championship will be decided at Toledo Speedway. In 2022, Nick Sanchez clinched the title over Daniel Dye and in 2023 two-time ARCA Menards Series West champion Jesse Love put the exclamation point on a dominant season that saw him win ten times on his way to the championship.

Joe Gibbs Racing has won the last three ARCA Menards Series races at Toledo Speedway, with series champion and reigning NASCAR Cup Series rookie of the year Ty Gibbs winning in 2021; two-time ARCA Menards Series East champion and current NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Sammy Smith won in 2022, while reigning ARCA Menards Series East champion William Sawalich won in 2023.

“Owens Corning is proud to help bring exciting, high-performance racing to our hometown of Toledo,” said Kim Kaufman, National Account Leader. “This is a great opportunity to join our valued customer, Menards, in this effort while engaging passionate ARCA racing fans with our Owens Corning brand.”
