After two races in three days one weekend ago, the ARCA Menards Series will join the ARCA Menards Series East for the running of the Sprecher 150 on Sunday afternoon at the Milwaukee Mile (1 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. CT on FS1 and FloRacing).
The race serves as the penultimate round of the East Series season while also doubling as the 15th of 20 races for the ARCA Menards Series. It will be the 14th ARCA Menards Series race held at the Milwaukee Mile and the fourth event at the track for the East Series.
ARCA first traveled to the Milwaukee Mile in 1958, when Fred Lorenzen secured his first ARCA victory. The track hosted five ARCA events from 1958-60 but didn’t return until 1982, when Dean Roper found Victory Lane. The track has been a regular fixture on the schedule since 2021, when Ty Gibbs celebrated a win a the historic venue.

Sprecher 150 at the Milwaukee Mile
It’s been more than two months since someone not named William Sawalich or Connor Zilisch has won an ARCA Menards Series race.
With both drivers in the field for Sunday’s Sprecher 150 at the Milwaukee Mile, odds are that fact won’t be changing this weekend. The two drivers, who also happen to be leading the ARCA Menards Series East standings, should be considered the men to beat at the 1.015-mile oval.
Sawalich enters Sunday’s race as the defending event winner after leading 141 of 150 laps one season ago. However, Sawalich finds himself 22 points behind Zilisch in the battle for the East Series championship. In six head-to-head matchups this season spread across ARCA and the East Series, Zilisch has beaten Sawalich four times. In each of those four instances, Zilisch won the race.
Several drivers will be looking to end the dominant run of Sawalich and Zilisch, including ARCA Menards Series championship leader Andres Perez and his Rev Racing teammate Lavar Scott. Perez is coming off a disappointing day at the Springfield Mile, where an early mechanical issue dropped him from contention.
Marco Andretti returns to ARCA competition this weekend as part of a planned doubleheader weekend with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. Gio Ruggiero will pilot Venturini Motorsports’ flagship No. 20 Toyota as a teammate to Kris Wright, Amber Balcaen, Toni Breidinger and Dean Thompson.
Other notable entries include Lawless Alan, Christian Rose, D.L. Wilson, Tyler Tomassi, Andrew Patterson and Zachary Tinkle, among others.
