ARCA races at Kansas

The Tide 150 is an ARCA Menards Series race held at Kansas Speedway. It is held on the race weekend of the NASCAR Cup Series' AdventHealth 400.

History

The race was added to the schedule in 2020 after the cancellation of the race at Chicagoland Speedway due to COVID-19 regulations in Illinois. It then became a permanent race on the ARCA Menards Series schedule in 2021.

Tide became the title sponsor of the race in 2024.

Race trend

In each year in that the race has been run, the race has been won by the driver who went on to win the series championship: Bret Holmes won it in 2020, which was his first ARCA win. Ty Gibbs won the 2021 race and also led every single lap in it, becoming the first driver since Kevin Swindell in 2012 at Chicagoland Speedway to lead every single lap of a main ARCA Series race. It was one of 10 races Gibbs won en route to winning the championship that year. Nick Sanchez won the 2022 race. It was his second win at Kansas as he won the 2021 fall race at the track. Jesse Love, the winner of the 2023 race, like Gibbs also went on to win 10 races and the series championship. In 2024, Connor Mosack won the event, but since he drove part-time, he didn't win the series championship. In 2025, Brenden Queen won the race. It was one of 8 races he won en route to winning the championship that year. Gio Ruggiero won the event, but since he drove full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and had a part-time deal in ARCA, he could not win the series championship.

The Menards 150 is an ARCA Menards Series race held at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The inaugural race was held in 2001. It has been held on the same weekend as the NASCAR Cup Series' Hollywood Casino 400 since 2009.

History

From 2012 to 2021, this race was the season-finale for the series. The race was originally 201 miles and 134 laps long until 2006. Each year since 2007 to 2010 and since 2016, the race has been 150 miles and 100 laps long. The race was 148.5 miles and 99 laps from 2011 to 2015 to match the name of the race, the 98.9.

In 2021, the candy company Reese's, which joined ARCA as a corporate partner that year, also became the title sponsor of the season-finale race of the series, replacing Speediatrics. Reese's returned to racing sponsorship for the first time in 10 years, as they were previously a sponsor for Kevin Harvick in both the Xfinity and Cup Series when he drove for Richard Childress Racing, but left after the 2010 season. In 2022, Reese's switched their title sponsorship to the race at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park and the Kansas Lottery, which was the title sponsor of the race from 2004 to 2013, returned as the title sponsor of the race. Sioux Chief Manufacturing would replace the Kansas Lottery as the race's title sponsor in 2023. Reese's would return as the sponsor in 2024. For 2026, the race was moved back to being the site of the finale for the first time since 2021. Menards assumed sponsorship rights over Reese's.
