ARCA Menards Series - 2026 Season 1 - Fixed - Races hourly at :45 past
The iRacing ARCA Menards Series features the ARCA Menards Chevrolet SS, Ford Mustang, and Toyota Camry stock cars competing on a mix of short and intermediate ovals, superspeedways, and road courses. These cars make for an excellent transitional step between the Super Late Model and the NASCAR Class C trucks.

The series is integrated into the NASCAR iRacing series ladder system, introducing drivers to the experience of racing high performance stock cars on many of the short and intermediate speedways found in the NASCAR iRacing Class C, B and A Series. The iRacing ARCA Menards Series features a fixed set-up format, giving competitors the freedom to focus on their racing and strategic skills and eliminate concerns about chassis, aerodynamic and tire settings.
