2025 ARCA Menards Series schedule released
The 2025 ARCA Menards Series schedule has been released and there are some changes, but a lot of longtime standards as well. It is a schedule that I think will make fans happy with the NASCAR development series.
There are a lot of criticisms of ARCA, but this schedule shows one of the major strengths. It is as diverse as it gets. Superspeedways to tiny ovals to road courses to dirt races. All they need is a street race, really.
With this 2025 ARCA schedule out, there are still blanks to fill. The East and West schedules are being planned and have not been released yet. However, dates like Dover and Bristol will likely remain on the East schedule. Phoenix will be a West race as well.
Just to list a few changes:
- Dover, Michigan, and Salem dates move around
- No Iowa or Mid-Ohio
- Lime Rock has been added as support for the Truck Series
- ARCA returns to Madison International Speedway
- Kansas and Toldeo remain final two races on schedule
I think the biggest addition has to be Madison. Lime Rock is fun, but Wisconsin and Minnesota deserve to have a race or two in their area. It would have been great to see Iowa or Milwaukee stay on the schedule, but Madison is a great addition.
Today, the ARCA Menards Series is taking on Kansas with a surprising driver on the pole.
2025 ARCA schedule released, Isabella Robusto wins pole
Just before the 2025 ARCA schedule was released, the series qualified at Kansas. For her first career pole and just the sixth woman to ever do it, Isabella Robusto won the pole award. ARCA also announced that Menards has extended its partnership with the series.

Robusto winning the pole is a big deal. She was only six hundredths faster than Gio Ruggiero. But that is an impressive pole award in a field that includes Connor Zilisch, Tanner Gray, and the rest of the ARCA regulars.
Robusto has been knocking on the door of a win. She has had issues and made mistakes on track that have cost her a checkered flag. She finished on the podium at Springfield. However, it appears she knows her way around Kansas pretty well.
With the 2025 ARCA Menards Series schedule out, maybe we know where Robusto will be racing next season already. It would make sense for her next step in development to be a full-time season in ARCA. But, we will see what her plans end up being.
