Homecoming weekend for the ARCA Menards Series takes place a little earlier this year, with the Toledo Speedway date being move from the October finale to this Saturday evening for a combination race with the ARCA Menards Series East.
Located only six miles away from the ARCA Menards Series headquarters in Temperance, Michigan, Toledo has been a cornerstone track for the platform since its first race there in 1963. The list of drivers to win at Toledo includes numerous ARCA Menards Series legends like Iggy Katona, Jack Bowsher, Benny Parsons, Bill Venturini, Ken Schrader and Frank Kimmel.
Throughout its lifespan, Toledo has also been the site where ARCA Menards Series champions have been crowned, which has further strengthened its ties to the platform’s history. Toledo’s most recent stint as the season finale lasted from 2022 until this past year, but the facility’s traditional mid-May date returns as part of the 2026 ARCA Menards Series schedule.
Even with no championship on the line this weekend, there is still an opportunity for ARCA Menards Series competitors to add their name to Toledo’s record books as a winner. Doing so will require drivers to be both patient and aggressive if they want to conquer Toledo’s confined, half-mile layout.
Tickets to the Owens Corning 200 (Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on FS1) can be purchased here. Below is everything to know ahead of the first combination race of the year between the ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East.
Owens Corning 200 at Toledo Speedway
The field for Saturday’s Owens Corning 200 is set to be largest for an ARCA Menards Series event at Toledo since 2015.
Leading the stacked entry list for Saturday is Max Reaves, the most recent ARCA Menards Series Toledo winner. Reaves has yet to earn a top-five finish in his two national ARCA Menards Series appearances so far in 2026 but is only two weeks removed from earning his first ARCA Menards Series East checkered flag of the season at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway.
Toledo is a significant track in Pinnacle Racing Group’s brief history, as the team formally celebrated its first ARCA Menards Series driver’s title there last year with Brenden ‘Butterbean’ Queen. PRG has yet to earn a victory at Toledo but will look to change that status quo this weekend with Carson Brown and East Series points leader Tristan McKee.
Despite fading to 10th at the end of last Friday’s ARCA Menards Series race at Watkins Glen International, Jake Bollman still maintains a 12-point lead in the standings. Bollman heads to Toledo with the goal of claiming his first national ARCA Menards Series victory and subsequently extending his points lead going into the summer.
Caden Kvapil, the younger brother of NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series competitor Carson Kvapil, will make his ARCA Menards Series debut driving the No. 24 for Sigma Performance Services. Kvapil has won four Late Model Stock events with JR Motorsports since October and seeks to continue that momentum with Sigma’s operation Saturday.
Other drivers set to compete at Toledo on Saturday include Andy Jankowiak, Isabella Robusto, Ryan Vargas, Isaac Kitzmiller, Wesley Slimp, Bobby Earnhardt and Quinn Davis.
