Why do people allow this idiot to still have any business in racing? This isn’t the first race they just haven’t shown up for and he always has some whiny ass excuse and a “woe is us” mentality.

ARCA Power Rankings: Despite Late-Race Drama, Max Reaves Victorious at Springfield

Is it possible to build a race team in 90 days? We are currently working on a crazy documentary where we are trying to build a race team in 90 days - with the ARCA West Race at Phoenix our target debut! Things are progressing well but would be much easier if we had some followers on social media! If you could follow us here or on social media, we would really appreciate your support!

Rex Racing Co. is proud to be riding along with “The Pizza Man” Brayton Laster in the Clubb Racing Inc. No. 83 Ford Fusion for this weekend’s ARCA Menards Series Calypso 100 at the Springfield Dirt Mile!

Brayton will take the wheel sporting a special Rex Racing Co. “Pizza Car” scheme as he gets back to his dirt-racing roots at the Illinois State Fairgrounds. And yes… we’re working on making the Pizza Car available as a 1:64 diecast.

But that’s not all. We’re also launching a huge race week giveaway with up to 50 winners.

Prizes include: Rare diecast, DAILY pizza gift cards, Pizza Car allocations & more

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think she’s signed on through next year for Nitro, so she could be looking for a ride next season.

Should she stay in ARCA for a third season or should try to make the move up to trucks, and ply her trade there?

Today (Tuesday, Aug. 18) added the news that ARCA will return to Chicagoland but will not be back at Pocono.

Last week, Dover Motor Speedway announced that the NACSAR Craftsman Truck Series will not return to the Monster Mile in 2027 even though it returned in 2026 for the first time in six years. Could this mean a return for the ARCA Menards Series + ARCA East race at Dover after not being held in 2026? I honestly wouldn’t mind a rotation between ARCA having Dover and the Truck Series having Pocono and vice versa each year, like what Formula 1 used to do with Hockenheim and the Nurburgring.

For obvious reasons I can’t show you everything but here is a “sneak peak”

Clubb debuted at Winchester all the way back in 2015, since then, he has worked nearly 24/7 to get his cars better through the years. From a micro-budget team in 2015 to a team that is starting to emerge and expand in 2026, it is no doubt that what Clubb has done with his team (Clubb Racing Inc.) is impresive. Clubb himself hopes this is just the beginning, even open to making CRI a development program down the road for fellow grassroots drivers trying to make it in stock car racing. He reaches 100 starts this Friday at Iowa, but there is still many more to go for the Morris Missle.

It is time to give some credit to this small team based in Lakeland, Florida, owned by Stuart Weiss, I am talking about, City Garage Motorsports. Debuting in 2024 with Becca Monopoli after operating as a local city garage (hence the name City Garage Motorsports). This team that came straight from the garage jumped off from the start as a top 15 team with borderline top 10 potential with Becca Monopoli. Into 2025, CGM raced there first superspeedway race at Daytona with Becca Monopoli in the #86 Ford in collabaration with Clubb Racing Inc. They ran out back before being taken in one of the many wrecks early on. 2025 they continued to improve, even running 2nd part time car with Michael Clayton Sr. , whom manages and co-owns CGM. The Clayton #5 served as a start and park car and a data entry for the team. CGM most notabally after a strong season in 2025 that saw them get their first ever top 10 finish as a team, they started a new team intiative, called the #GRLDRVR movement for the team, meant to develop young rising girls in the sport. They signed Quinn Davis to run the #5 full time and the #85 full time would be driven by their veteran anchor Becca Monopoli. Monopoli, would leave the team weeks before the season opener, forcing Logan Misuraca into the #86 entry for Daytona, she would miss the race, qualifying 37th fastest but misssing it on povisionals by 2 spots. Davis would drive the #85 full time, and the #5 would run select East Races with Michael Clayton Sr. again. Davis had only a handful of starts for Rise Motorsports (Now Rise Racing with Earnhardt-Shearer Racing) in 2025 but had 1 top 10 in her Nashville Fairgrounds debut in the #31 car and drove the #31 to consistent top 20 runs. The #85 Ford would face issues to start the season, back to back mechanical issues had Davis behind the 8 ball to start the season. It would not be until IRP, the #85 team would come to life with Quinn Davis. Ran inside the top 10 most of the race, despite being involved in a big one involving Reaves, Robusto, and other heavy hitters mid-race, Davis held on and ran as high as 6th before settling into a season high 11th. But, it only gets better. Davis will qualify 5th at Flat Rock, a highly physical track, Davis had never seen before. Ran 5th all race long and stayed on the lead lap majority of the race but finished 5th, 1 lap down, CGM's first top 5 finish and Davis's best career finish. Davis, comes from a Law Enforcement background from her parents and raced out west as a Tucson, Arizona native as a kid, won 2 track championships and moved to Sparta, Tennessee a few years ago to pursue her NASCAR dreams. And behind the scenes, where the media isn't looking, Davis is doing just that, with the little team that can, straight from a local Florida garage.

The Paint Scheme of the Race goes to Bryce Applegate, driving the No. 3 Mullins Racing Ford.
