2026 ARCA Menards Series

The 2026 ARCA Menards Series is the 74th season of the ARCA Menards Series, a stock car racing series sanctioned by NASCAR in the United States. The season began at Daytona International Speedway with the General Tire 200 on February 14 and will end with the Reese's 150 at Kansas Speedway on September 25.

Brenden Queen entered the season as the defending champion, but did not return to defend his title as he moved up to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series full-time in 2026, driving for Kaulig Racing.

Notes:

  • The pole winner also receives one bonus point, similar to the previous ARCA points system used until 2019 and unlike NASCAR.
  • Additionally, after groups of five races of the season, drivers that compete in all five races receive fifty additional points. These points bonuses will be given after the races at Watkins Glen, Elko, Springfield and Kansas in September.
