ARCA Menards Series race at Daytona moved to late Friday night

The ARCA Menards Series race at Daytona International Speedway has been moved to late Friday night after the NASCAR Truck Series.

The ARCA Menards Series race at Daytona International Speedway was scheduled for Saturday at 1:30 PM ET, but that has been changed. Due to the weather forecast on Saturday, the ARCA Menards Series will run its race at Daytona after the NASCAR Truck Series on Friday night. The series has a start time of approximately 10:30 PM ET.

Due to college basketball, the Daytona race will start on FOX Sports 2 before moving to FOX Sports 1. Once the basketball game concludes, ARCA will have coverage on a better network. This situation is unprecedented, like NASCAR at the Busch Light Clash two weeks ago. Mother Nature has taken the schedule and turned it upside down again.

As of now, the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Daytona is still scheduled for Saturday evening. If the race is postponed, the Xfinity Series will likely compete on Monday. The same goes for the Daytona 500, which also has rain in the forecast. It’s not a new season of NASCAR without Mother Nature having a say, and hopefully, the weather can hold off this weekend.

ARCA Menards Series releases shocking 50-driver entry list for Daytona

The ARCA Menards Series released a shocking 50-driver entry list for the opening weekend of the season at Daytona. Check out the drivers!

The ARCA Menards Series is heading to Daytona International Speedway as the 2024 season is set to be underway in almost one week. Last year, Greg Van Alst shocked the NASCAR world and won at the sport’s biggest venue. Going into the 2024 event, it is clear that several teams and drivers believe they can win because the entry list is massive.

At Daytona, the ARCA Menards Series will have a shocking 50 entries into the event. This means 10 drivers will not qualify due to the driver limit on the field. Most notably, three-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion Justin Bonsignore will drive the No. 30 car for Rette Jones Racing. It will be his debut in the ARCA Menards Series.

As for other names involved, Shane van Gisbergen, Marco Andretti, and Patrick Emerling will look to make the event. There hasn’t been this much hype around an ARCA Menards Series race in years, and if the notable drivers make the show, it will be an incredible watch. Truthfully, it has been a while since we could say that, making Daytona even more special.

Three-time NASCAR modified champion to compete in ARCA race at Daytona

This three-time NASCAR modified champion will compete in ARCA Menards Series race at Daytona International Speedway in 2024.

[autotag]Rette Jones Racing[/autotag] is not shy to make bold moves in the ARCA Menards Series. In 2023, the organization made Frankie Muniz, Malcolm from “Malcolm in the Middle,” its full-time driver. Now, the race team has made another major splash. On Monday, Rette Jones Racing announced that [autotag]Justin Bonsignore[/autotag] will drive the No. 30 car at Daytona International Speedway.

Bonsignore is a three-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour champion, who would make his ARCA Menards Series debut at Daytona on February 17. The 36-year-old driver recently took part in a preseason test for the “Road to Daytona” program, driving for Fast Track Racing Enterprises in January. Now, that experience has created this opportunity for Bonsignore.

The No. 30 car can compete out front as Muniz finished fourth in the point standings last year. It may be unreasonable to suggest that Bonsignore can win in his ARCA Menards Series debut; however, he will be one to watch. Bonsignore is among the most successful active drivers in the lower ranks and should put it on a show at Daytona.
