Menards Discounted Ticket Presale Begins Monday, August 7

For the second consecutive season, the ARCA Menards Series will conclude its season and crown a champion with the Shore Lunch 200 presented by CGS Imaging at Toledo Speedway on Saturday, October 7. Starting on August 7 fans can “Save Big Money” on advance tickets by purchasing them at northwest Ohio- and southeast Michigan-area Menards stores for just $20, a savings of $10 on the raceday price at the gate.

Last year’s 200-lap race came down to a battle between two future superstars, former ARCA Menards Series West champion Jesse Love – who had led 192 of the race’s first 195 laps – and current NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Sammy Smith, himself a two-time ARCA Menards Series East champ who was looking to give Kyle Busch Motorsports the car owner’s championship. Throw in 2013 ARCA Menards Series champion and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Grant Enfinger, who was racing a one-off for team owner Jeff McClure, and it was a terrific three-car tussle for the win. 

Enfinger led lap 196, but Love was able to get back by to lead lap 197. As they battled for the lead and the victory, Smith nudged Love out of the groove just enough to open the door and sneak by to take the lead, the win, and the owner’s title. Both drivers expressed their displeasure with each other in front of the full grandstands, while the fans in attendance roared their approval and crew members scuffled.

Nick Sanchez locked up the ARCA Menards Series driver’s title around the midway point of the race when his main rival for the championship, Daniel Dye, fell off the pace with mechanical problems. Both Sanchez and Dye are full-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series drivers in 2023.

There will be a full day of on-track activity for the ARCA Menards Series, with practice at 10 am, General Tire Pole Qualifying at noon, and on-track autograph session at 2:45 pm, and the green flag for the Shore Lunch 200 presented by CGS Imaging at 4 pm ET. There will also be a special Valley Truck Centers 50-lap ARCA Outlaw Super Late Model feature event on the card. For complete event information please visit ToledoSpeedway.com.

Fans can purchase their advance discount general admission tickets to the Shore Lunch 200 for just $20 at Menards locations in Toledo, Oregon, Holland, Findlay, Defiance, and Sandusky in Ohio, and Belleville, Taylor, Ann Arbor, and Livonia in Michigan.
