Isabella Robusto to race full-time with Venturini Motorsports for 2025 ARCA season

It is official! Isabella Robusto is going racing full-time in the ARCA Menards Series with Venturini Motorsports in 2025. Robusto is one of the best young prospects in the NASCAR pipeline, and likely the most talented woman the sport has seen in quite some time.

At 20 years old, Isabella Robusto has already impressed. A multi-sport athlete in high school, Robusto has taken her athletic abilities and strength behind the wheel.

In 2024, she arguably should have won a race or two in the ARCA Series West. However, various issues kept her out of victory lane despite strong runs.

This season, with a full-time national series schedule, Isabella Robusto is ready to get to work. Her racecraft has improved in recent years and she is hoping to be the first female race winner ever in ARCA on the national level.

“I’m excited for this incredible opportunity to return to Venturini and run full-time for a championship in the ARCA Menards Series. I can’t thank Toyota and VMS enough for putting me in this position,” said Robusto in a team release.

Earlier this season, Robusto won the pole at Kansas. However, she wrecked out of the race almost immediately. Otherwise, she earned five top-5s and eight top-10s in 11 starts across the national, East, and West Series.

It is unclear what the ARCA field will look like next season. However, with Isabella Robusto at Venturini, she has to be one of the favorites to compete for the championship.

Isabella Robusto, Brenden Queen named to ARCA teams

So far, we have two major names for the 2025 ARCA Menards Series season. Isabella Robusto joins Brenden Queen as the two biggest names out right now. Robusto remains with Toyota while Queen jumps from the TRD late model program to Chevy and Pinnacle Racing Group.

These are two drivers who have come up in racing differently. Queen just won the 2024 CARS Tour Late Model Stock championship. He’s ready for his first full-time action in ARCA, and possibly a fast-track to NASCAR.

For Robusto, she is largely unproven. Yes, we have seen flashes in ARCA. But she hasn’t raced a season in the CARS Tour like Queen has in the past. But Toyota has taken a heavy interest in her development.

Drivers often come into new rides with a lot of hype. Isabella Robusto is going to have to prove that the hype is real in 2025. The same goes for Brenden Queen. It should be a fun and exciting season in the ARCA Menards Series.
