START OF THE SHORE LUNCH 200 PRESENTED BY CGS IMAGING

(200 laps / 100 miles)

4:30 PM Start, Saturday October 7

Rain date Sun. Oct. 8 - 1 pm

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, and 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 race came down to a battle between two future superstars, two-time ARCA Menards Series West champion Jesse Love – who had led 192 of the race’s first 195 laps – and 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 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 as team 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 now race full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. 

Jesse Love leads the ARCA Menards Series championship standings by a healthy margin with five races remaining. Sanchez’s replacement Andres Perez in second with Hollywood superstar-turned-racecar driver Frankie Muniz in third. The series’ owners championship will again be on the line, with Venturini Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing going head-to-head for the title for the fourth consecutive year. 

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 4:30 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.

Will the Outlaw portion of the program be carried on either Race-Monitor or My Race Pass today?
