The Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) has announced its schedule through August for the ARCA Menards Series, ARCA Menards Series East, and ARCA Menards Series West, following NASCAR’S recent schedule update for the top three national tours.
The ARCA Menards Series will run a doubleheader at the sanctioning body’s hometown track in Toledo, Ohio, on July 31 and August 1. The doubleheader will mark the first time since 1956 that the series has run a pair of races on the same weekend in Toledo, and it will also be the series’ first weekend doubleheader since 2003.
The latest installment of the 2020 schedule is as follows:

The ARCA Menards Series races at Madison International Speedway, originally set for August 7, and the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, originally set for August 23, have been postponed.
