How ARCA Menards Series graduates finished at Texas

Nearly every driver competing across NASCAR’s top three divisions today has some form of experience on the ARCA Menards Series platform.

Since its inception back in 1953, the ARCA Menards Series has prided itself on being a developmental platform for drivers with NASCAR ambition. With diverse schedules that include superspeedways, short tracks, road courses and dirt tracks, the ARCA Menards Series has everything necessary for drivers to refine their skills behind the wheel.

Below is a breakdown of which previous champions and alums of the ARCA Menards Series, ARCA Menards Series East and ARCA Menards Series West finished inside the top 10 at Texas Motor Speedway this past weekend across the NASCAR Cup Series, the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
