TEMPERANCE, Mich. — Atlas Roofing will be the entitlement sponsor of this year’s ARCA Menards Series race at Iowa Speedway, the opening act of what is sure to be a historic weekend of racing.

The Atlas 150, set for Friday, June 14, will be followed Saturday by the return of the NASCAR Xfinity Series to Iowa Speedway. The inaugural NASCAR Cup Series race at the 0.875-mile oval located just 30 minutes east of downtown Des Moines will take place Sunday.

“We have a long history at Iowa Speedway dating back to the track’s opening in 2008,” ARCA president Ron Drager said. “We’ve consistently had tremendous support from the community and the race fans in Iowa, and we’re thrilled to be a part of this historic weekend.”

The list of ARCA Menards Series winners at Iowa includes inaugural winner Steve Wallace, the son of track designer and 1989 Cup Series champion Rusty Wallace. Other ARCA winners at the track include NASCAR on NBC pit reporter and Xfinity Series driver Parker Kligerman; current Cup Series drivers Ty Dillon, Chase Briscoe and Ty Gibbs; Xfinity Series drivers Sheldon Creed, Chandler Smith and Brandon Jones; and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Grant Enfinger.

West Des Moines native Mason Mitchell, the 2014 ARCA Menards Series champion and 2015 Iowa Speedway winner, has announced his intentions to compete in the Atlas 150, as well.

The decision to come on board for the biggest weekend of stock-car racing in the state of Iowa was helped by the simple fact that Atlas, a leading North American manufacturer of innovative, high quality building products, is opening a $200 million manufacturing facility with 100 full-time employees in nearby Clinton, Iowa.

“Atlas is excited to sponsor the ARCA Menards Series race at Iowa Speedway,” said Matt Erdman, National Sales Director at Atlas. “It’s a chance for us to celebrate our newly announced state of the art Iowa manufacturing facility that is currently in construction, and it gives us another great opportunity to further support our partnership with both Menards and ARCA.”

Based in Atlanta, Atlas Roofing Corporation manufactures roof shingles, polyiso insulation, molded polystyrene and paper, and coated facers for new construction, remodels and renovations.
