After a 14-year pause, the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards is headed back to Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2018, according to a 2018 schedule released by the series. The 21st ARCA race at Charlotte is coming May 24, part of the Coca-Cola 600 race weekend.
“Charlotte Motor Speedway is all about entertaining the fans, so we’re thrilled to add ARCA racing to our lineup of unmatched motorsports entertainment during the 10 Days of NASCAR Thunder,” said Greg Walter, Charlotte Motor Speedway executive vice president. “The ARCA Racing Series has showcased some spectacularly successful drivers in the recent past like Joey Logano, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson. We’re sure that another rising star will make a name for himself on our world-class stage during Pole Night next May.”
The ARCA-Charlotte union is one that reaches way back to 1964 when the late Curtis Turner turned in a dominating performance to win the inaugural Charlotte ARCA 200. Thirty-two years would pass before the ARCA Racing Series returned to Charlotte in 1996 when Tim Steele won the first of three straight on the 1.5-mile superspeedway. ARCA remained on Charlotte's annual schedule up through 2004.
