Not a big drawer, but there it is. Have a happy and safe and most importantly fun 4th of July. Catch the next ARCA race on FS2 at Lime Rock Park next week as the ARCA drivers hit the road (course).

Chevrolet took the top 4 spots in the ARCA Menards Series race at Chicagoland. The winner was Connor Mosack, who made a daring 3 wide move on Lanie Buice and Thomas Annunziata on a restart before the race break to take the lead and never looked back. To round out the great day for Shane Huffman and the PRG crew, Lanie Buice brought it home in a career best P2 and was actually closing in on Mosack in the long run late in the race. 3rd after giving it everything he had, the car was slipping sideways in the corners from racing so hard on worn tires, Landon S. Huffman. The S, of course, stands for Shane, his dad and owner of PRG. So for the Huffman family and PRG, a dream finish for them. And P4 was another Chevy driver, unalifiliated to PRG or the Huffman's but still driving a Chevrolet for Sigma Performance Services, Daniel Dye, who started on the front row alongside Thomas Annunziata and consistently ran up in the top 5 contending and brought it home P4. The rest of the top 10 was pole sitter Thomas Annunziata in P5, Jade Avedisian brought home a solid P6 finish for Nitro Motorsports, P7 was Andy Jankowiak, his best outing since his win at Talladega earlier in the season. P8 was Jake Bollman, who holds his points lead by 22 points over Annunziata, P9 was another Chevrolet driver in Jason Kitzmiller, who was driving for CR7 Motorsports, the same team as Landon S. Huffman drove to 3rd with. Rounding out the top 10, the young Canadian driver, Kyle Steckly, giving RAFA it's first ever ARCA platform top 10 finish to date. Other notable finishers included local driver Tim Richmond in his #27 car in P11, Gavan Boschele recovered from a bad pit stop that cost him a lap at the race break to finish P12, his teammate at Nitro Motorsports, Isabella Robusto, fought a track bar issue to a P13 finish, Morgen Baird P14, and in his ARCA National debut, Landon Brown, for the #69 Ford Mustang for Kimmel Racing, brought it home P15.

It f*cking sucks. Congrats to Sam Corry on his first ARCA Menards Series West win along with Nitro Motorsports. ARCA Menards Series national race comes on tommorow on FS2 at Elko. It's a late one, 9 PM (8 PM CT, 6 PM PT).

In the timed practice session, Nitro Motorsports put on a clinic, running fast lap times with both their drivers. Laying down blistering lap times, P1 in practice is Sam Corry in the #25 for Nitro Motorsports, in the #15 Pine Health Toyota Camry for Nitro Motorsports in P2 is Mia Lovell. The rest of the top 10 included 2025 champion Trevor Huddleston, Dr. Patrick Staropoli in his return to ARCA west competition and 61 year old Todd Souza, among others. 22 out of 23 cars on the entry ran a lap, the car that did not run a lap in practice was Bobby Hillis Jr. in the Fierce Creature Racing #27 car.

This entry list will consist of 21 cars for the ARCA Menards Series at Elko Speedway for the Shore Lunch 250 present by Dutch Boy. You can catch the race on FS2 at 9 PM ET/8 PM CT/6 PM PT. The race is interesting as it will start at daylight, around a hour give or take before sunset, but by the checkered flag it will be dark, it is one of few ARCA races that you will see do that, so don't miss. Also the banked corners make the racing side by side, agressive, fast, and exciting on the 3/8 mile track.

There is 4 drivers to watch for this weekend's race. One is the points leader in the #20 of Jake Bollman, as he tries to hold off his teammate at Nitro Motorsports in the #70 car of Thomas Annunziata. We will see if Annunziata can beat out Bollman as he did at Berlin, Toledo and Watkins Glen.

Max Reaves is looking to put the Joe Gibbs Racing #18 in victory lane for the 4th consecutive week in this summer stretch. Reaves last outing was at Berlin, where he led over three quarters of the race en route to his first national series victory of the season. JGR has won nearly half of the races this season to date, the #18 of Max Reaves looks to carry the momentum into Elko.

However, with the main storylines out the way, there is one driver who is still seeking their first ARCA Menards Series platform victory, the driver of the #55 for Nitro Motorsports, Isabella Robusto. Coming off a solid 5th place run at Berlin, Robusto and the Nitro team as a whole seems closer to inching towards victory #1 of the season for the team. Robusto has 2 previous starts at Elko, in 2024 and 2025. In 2024, Robusto qualified P3 in just her 2nd national series start at Elko and ran top 3 most of the first half of the race before running into the #6 of Lavar Scott who had to slow down for Michael Maples in the #99 cutting in front of him. Robusto took a hard hit into Scott and Kris Wright in the #15 piled into the back of Robusto. All 4 cars made repairs to continue on, but Robusto by far suffered the worst of it. However, the #55 crew did not give up and taped the nose and hood and with slightly crooked steering, Robusto brought it home in P4 in 2024, followed the P4 up with a P4 in 2025 and was battling for a podium run consistently in that race. With drivers like William Sawalich and Lavar Scott moving up to the O'Reiley's (Formerly Xfinity) series, this could open the door for Robusto to claim victory #1. We've seen the potential, now it's time to leave it all on the track for the #55 team. It won't be easy with Max Reaves in the JGR #18, Nitro Motorsports teammates in Jake Bollman and Thomas Annunziata, including in the #25 Ty Fredrickson making his season debut at Elko, looking to better a 3rd place run in his ARCA platform debut in 2025, and the Pinnacle Racing Group cars of Carson Brown in the #28 and Taylor Reimer in the #77, Reimer off a 4th place run at Berlin. Other entries are still pending but regardless, there is stiff competition for Robusto, but we know the speed and talent and momentum is on their side, so on one of Robusto's best tracks, the chance of victory has never been higher for the 21 year old.
