The ARCA Menards Series season will again kick off with a 200-mile clash on the high banks at Daytona (Fla.) Int’l Speedway on February 17. It will mark the 61st consecutive year the ARCA Menards Series has raced at Daytona dating to 1964. “Racing at Daytona International Speedway has been a cornerstone of the ARCA Menards Series for more than 60 years,” said ARCA president Ron Drager. Our race is likely the first chance to race at Daytona for the young drivers that will work their way up the NASCAR national series ladder.”. Three-time ARCA Menards Series champion Nelson Stacy won the first race at Daytona in 1964, joined by fellow ARCA champions Iggy Katona in 1965 and Jack Bowsher in 1966.
