ARCA Menards Series qualifying at Michigan canceled due to rain

With the Xfinity Series also trying to practice and qualify, there is only so much time that ARCA can use. There is clearly a pecking order in this situation that needs to be followed. The national series gets preference over the development series, duh.

For the ARCA Menards Series, it is a minor setback. As long as they can get the race in tonight, it will all be fine. However, given the track size, speeds, and the fact it is a development series, practice time would be good to get.

This year, it was been all about the part-time drivers. No full-time driver in the national series have won a race this season. However, Andres Perez is hoping to carry the points battle all the way to the championship.

UPDATE: ARCA practice is scheduled for 2:15 PM EST. The ARCA Menards Series field will have 30 minutes on the track. Xfinity Series practice will then take the track at 3:30 with qualifying afterward. ARCA race at 6:00 PM EST.

ARCA Menards Series could be wide open tonight

Looking at the entry list, tonight is likely the best night for a full-time driver to get a win. Tanner Gray is in the 18 car instead of William Sawalich. Sawalich has not turned 18 yet and therefore can’t race on these big tracks.

However, Connor Zilisch is in the field. So, that means we will have a good battle for Gray if he were to run away with the race in that Joe Gibbs Racing car. Zilisch is one heck of a talent and will surely be in the mix tonight.

You also have Andres Perez and Lavar Scott. The Rev Racing duo have been doing all they can to get to Victory Lane. Perhaps the large oval that is Michigan International Speedway will be where they get the job done.

ARCA Menards Series practice is coming up. That should give us a good idea of who is fast and who is not. Which driver are you picking for tonight’s race?
