2023 ARCA Menards Series

The 2023 ARCA Menards Series was the 71st 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 BRANDT 200 on February 18 and ended with the Shore Lunch 200 at Toledo Speedway on October 7.

Jesse Love, the 2023 ARCA Menards Series champion.
Andrés Pérez de Lara finished second behind Love in the championship by 145 points.

Nick Sanchez, the 2022 series champion, did not return to run full-time in the ARCA Menards Series in 2023 and defend his title as he moved up to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series full-time driving for Rev Racing, the same team he won the ARCA championship with in 2022. After taking the green flag for the Atlas 200, Jesse Love of Venturini Motorsports claimed the ARCA Menards Series championship.[1]

Changes edit

Teams edit

  • On August 4, 2022, it was announced that 3F Racing, a team from Germany, would make their debut in the ARCA Menards Series and NASCAR Truck Series with Christopher Tate driving for the team in those series as well as the NASCAR Cup Series with a yet to be determined driver.[59] On October 17, Tate announced a sponsor for his ARCA starts, effectively announcing that he would make his debut in 2023.[60]
  • On September 5, 2022, it was revealed that Hendren Motorsports would not be back in 2023 as car owner Bill Hendren retired after the 2022 season. The team fielded the No. 24 car in the two dirt races for Ryan Unzicker for several years.[61]
  • On September 12, 2022, Dale Shearer revealed on his website that his team would be back in ARCA for the first time since 2019.[47] Shearer has previously used the No. 73 but Andy Jankowiak's team took that number during Shearer's time away from the series so he will need to pick a different number to use in 2023.
  • On October 17, 2022, Mandy Chick announced on the SRWRadio Podcast that she would run full-time for her family team, Team Chick Motorsports, in the main ARCA Series in 2023. It will be the team's first time running the full season in the main ARCA Series.[37]
  • On December 9, 2022, it was announced that the No. 18 car would go back to being owned by Joe Gibbs Racing in 2023. It was owned by Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2022.[9]
  • On December 12, 2022, AM Racing announced that they would be fielding an ARCA car full-time in 2023. The team previously fielded the No. 32 car part-time.[5]
  • On December 19, 2022, Brad Smith tweeted that he would be expanding his team to two full-time cars and the number of his second car would be the No. 26, which his team previously used from 1998 to 2012. The driver(s) of the No. 26 car were not announced in that tweet.[57] The team did not end up fielding a second car full-time but did debut a second car, the No. 49, at Berlin with Brad's brother Jeff driving.
  • On January 6, 2023, GMS Racing announced that they would be closing down their ARCA team in 2023 after the team's expansion to their Truck Series team. Daniel Dye, who drove full-time for GMS in the main ARCA Series in 2022, is moving up to the Truck Series full-time in 2023 driving for GMS.[62]
  • On January 8, 2023, it was announced that Tim Goulet Enterprises would rename to Rise Motorsports in 2023. On February 13, 2023, the team announced that Rita Goulet (nee Thomason) would run the full season in the East Series, which includes the main ARCA/East Series combination races. The team had announced on January 8 that Stephen Leicht would drive for them in the combination race at Bristol so the team will likely field two cars in that race for both drivers. It would be the team's first time fielding a second car.[32][33]

Drivers edit

  • On May 8, 2022, it was announced that Steve Austin would drive full-time for T.C. Enterprises in 2023,[63] but his arrest on May 22 may result in these plans falling through.[64] (He was never officially suspended by ARCA or a public statement from ARCA announcing his suspension was never released.)
  • On August 3, 2022, Rita Thomason revealed on the ARCA Reddit page that she would return to Tim Goulet Enterprises in 2023.[65] On January 8, 2023, it was announced that TGE would rename to Rise Motorsports in 2023 and continue to field the No. 31 car in the main ARCA Series and the East Series for Rita, whose last name is now Goulet after she married the team's owner, Tim Goulet, over the offseason, as well as Stephen Leicht.[32] On February 13, it was announced that Rita Goulet would run the full East Series season for the team in 2023.[33] She and Leicht are both scheduled to run the main ARCA/East Series combination race at Bristol so the team will likely field two cars in that race.[32][33]
  • On August 4, 2022, it was announced that Christopher Tate would make his ARCA debut for the new 3F Racing team.[59] On October 17, Tate announced a sponsor for his ARCA starts, effectively announcing that he would make his debut in 2023.[60]
  • On August 12, 2022, it was announced that Toni Breidinger would drive in the Toyota Gazoo Racing North America GR Cup in 2023.[66] The series is only 14 races on 7 weekends so depending on the schedule, she could still return to ARCA full-time and if not, part-time.[67]
  • On October 6, 2022, during Corey LaJoie's kickball tournament, the broadcasters on NASCAR's YouTube livestream mentioned during the top of the fifth inning that actor Frankie Muniz could run at least part-time in ARCA in 2023. He tested an ARCA car for Fast Track Racing in the test session at Daytona in January 2022.[68] On January 5, 2023, ThePitLane reported that Muniz could drive full-time for Rette Jones Racing in 2023. On January 11, RJR officially announced that Muniz would drive their No. 30 car full-time in the main ARCA Series in 2023, replacing Amber Balcaen, who moved to Venturini Motorsports to drive their No. 15 car part-time in 2023.[8]
  • On October 10, 2022, NASCAR Whelen Euro Series driver Thomas Krasonis announced that he would make his ARCA debut in 2023. The team he will drive for has yet to be announced. He would be the first driver from Greece to compete in the series.[69]
  • On October 17, 2022, Mandy Chick announced on the SRWRadio Podcast that she would run full-time for her family team, Team Chick Motorsports, in the main ARCA Series in 2023.[37]
  • On October 21, 2022, Logan Misuraca announced that she would run part-time starting at the season-opener at Daytona with hopes to run a full season with sponsorship from 1inamillion.life, a company she founded.[70] On November 1, she revealed to Forbes that she would be driving for Ben Kennedy Racing.[35]
  • On October 25, 2022, Jon Garrett announced that he would run full-time for Fast Track Racing in 2023, likely in the No. 10 car. He drove for the team part-time in 2022.[3]
  • On October 27, 2022, Mark Kristl from Frontstretch stated on the ARCA Reddit page that he anticipated that David Gilliland Racing would field at least a part-time ARCA car again in 2023 after the team's name change to TRICON Garage[71] and that Rev Racing intends to return to ARCA with their 2023 driver lineup being determined after their Drive for Diversity combine event. Nick Sanchez is moving up to the Truck Series full-time in 2023 with Rev Racing and Rajah Caruth is moving up to the Truck Series full-time in 2023 driving for GMS Racing. On January 13, 2023, Rev announced that Andrés Pérez de Lara would drive the No. 2 car full-time in 2023 except for the season-opener at Daytona as he would still be 17 years old and ineligible to race there. Lavar Scott was also announced to run the full season in the East Series for the team in 2023 (which includes 4 combination races with the main ARCA Series) and he would also replace Pérez de Lara in the No. 2 car at Daytona as he is 18 and old enough to race at the track.[2]
  • On November 14, 2022, an ARCA Reddit user posted that Bobby Gerhart Racing had posted on RacingJunk.com that their No. 5 car is open for the season-opener at Daytona for a driver that brings sponsorship. The driver has yet to be determined.[72][73] BGR did not end up attempting the season-opener at Daytona.
  • On November 15, 2022, The Daily Reporter (Coldwater) reported that Gage Rodgers would like to run the 2023 season-opener at Daytona for Kimmel Racing and will test with the team at Daytona in January.[39]
  • On December 2, 2022, Clubb Racing Inc. announced that Brayton Laster, Casey Carden and team owner Alex Clubb will share the No. 03 car full-time. All three drivers also drove the car in 2022.[7]
  • On December 6, 2022, it was announced that Zachary Tinkle, who ran the full season in the main ARCA Series aside from the race at Mid-Ohio, would run full-time in the East Series in the No. 11 car for Fast Track Racing in 2023. Fast Track was one of the teams he drove part-time for in 2022.[18]
  • On December 9, 2022, it was announced that William Sawalich would drive the No. 18 car part-time in 2023 and the car would go back to being owned by Joe Gibbs Racing. It was owned by Kyle Busch Motorsports in 2022.[9]
  • On February 24, 2023, Rise Motorsports announced that Derrick McGrew Jr. would make his ARCA debut for them in 2023 and drive their No. 31 car part-time. McGrew ended up only running one East Series race for the team.[74]
  • On March 24, 2023, Venturini Motorsports announced that NASCAR Mexico Series driver Regina Sirvent would drive part-time for them in ARCA in 2023, making her debut in the series. However, Sirvent ended up not running any ARCA races for the team in 2023.[75]
  • On May 25, 2023, it was announced that Grant Enfinger would drive the No. 97 car for CR7 Motorsports, who he drove part-time for in the Truck Series in 2021, in the race at Charlotte.[27]
