CONCORD, N.C. – Venturini Motorsports announced Monday the signing of 16-year-old driver Jake Finch to a two-race ARCA schedule in 2022.

Finch, who comes to VMS ready to learn and gain experience, will pilot the No. 25 Toyota Camry at Dover Motor Speedway this Friday, April 29 in the ARCA Menards Series East race. Finch will also pilot the No. 55 Toyota Camry at Pocono Raceway in the ARCA Menards Series event on July 22.

“I’m really excited and grateful for the opportunity to race in the ARCA Menards Series for Venturini Motorsports,” said Finch. “Both Pocono and Dover are unique and historic, fast race tracks, and it’ll be a cool experience and challenge for me as I learn at some new places.”

Finch, son of former NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series team owner James Finch, has experienced stock-car racing since he was seven years old.

The Lynn Haven, Florida, native just recently made his debut in the East Series at his home track of Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, scoring a top-10 finish in the Pensacola 200. In 2021, Finch also captured the Outlaw division track championship at Five Flags Speedway.

“Hopefully we’re not just able to run all the laps but also run competitively with the great equipment the VMS team brings to the racetrack,” said Finch in anticipation of his upcoming races with the team.
