THE AUTOMOBILE RACING CLUB OF AMERICA TheAutomobile Racing Club ofAmerica will kick off its 67th season in 2019 as it always has, dedicated to giving its fans, competitors and sponsors the same high level of competition they’ve experienced from the organization’s founding in 1953 through the present. The Midwestern-based stock car sanctioning body was founded by John and Mildred Marcum, and today is led by their grandson, Ron Drager. The Marcums founded ARCA after encouragement from their friends William H.G. France and his wife Anne B. France, founders of NASCAR. That relationship predates the founding of both NASCAR and ARCA, and it has carried over three generations to culminate with NASCAR’s acquisition of ARCA in 2018. The history and tradition is a huge part of what ARCA is, and it’s going to stay that way. There have been some changes, including a long-term agreement with Menards as title sponsor of the ARCA Menards Series, but the action you see from the grandstands at an ARCA Menards Series race will be the same door-to-door fender-banging action you’ve come to expect from America’s most diverse stock car tour. &OFFICERS ADMINISTRATION JOHN MARCUM���������������������������������������������������������������������������������Founder (1913-1981) MILDRED MARCUM��������������������������������������������������������������������Co-Founder (1914-2012) RON DRAGER����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� President & CEO SUZIE DRAGER��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Board of Directors ROLLO JUCKETTE���������������������������������������������������������������������������������Board of Directors MARK GUNDRUM�������������������������������������� VP - Business Development & Corporate Partnerships GRAYLING CALL.. ..........................................Senior Director of Competition & Operations JOE WELLS������������������������������������������������� Director Race Operations and Administration BOBBY THOMSEN���������������������������������������������������������Director Race Technical Services SHALENE WILLIAMS���������������������������������������������������������Manager Finance & Accounting ARLENE MIAZGA....................................................Manager Member & Employee Service CHARLIE KRALL��������������������������������������������������������������������� Manager of Communication ANDREA VOLPP�����������������������������������������������Manager Digital, Website, Graphic Design CASEY WAGNER��������������������������������������� Senior Manager Marketing & Public Relations RYAN MUSIALOWSKI.............................Manager Marketing & Communications Services HAROLD COOK............................ ................................................................Commissioner ROLLIE HELMLING��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Commissioner JEFF NUCKLES............................ ................................................................Commissioner KEITH McCALL���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Commissioner DENNY McNUTT�������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Commissioner JOHN MORTON��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Commissioner TERRY OLIGER��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������Commissioner JOHN NAIDA........................ .........................................................................Commissioner 1

WELCOME Welcome to the 2019 ARCA Menards Series! We know there have never been more ways to spend your hard-earned money on enter- tainment. And there are more options than ever before on how to spend your time, includ- ing a device you take with you everywhere you go that has seemingly unlimited options to pass your time. So it means a lot to us that you’ve chosen to spend your time with us, and as we have for the last 66 years, we at ARCA are going to do everything we can to ensure you have a great day at the races. ARCA has been sanctioning stock car races since 1953, and 67 years later we have never been busier. We will sanction 20 races in the ARCA Menards Series, and dozens more in the ARCA/CRA Super Series, ARCA Midwest Tour, and at our two weekly race tracks Toledo Speedway and Flat Rock Speedway. All told, we’ll administer over 100 events in 2019 in 13 different states. The ARCA Menards Series is the most diverse stock car tour in America, with 20 races at 18 different tracks. This year, we’ll pay visit to superspeedways like the 2.66-mile Talladega Superspeedway, short tracks such as the 0.375-mile Elko Speedway, and for good mea- sure we throw in two races on one-mile dirt tracks at Springfield and DuQuoin. One of the great things about coming to an ARCA race is access. You will have a chance to get up close to the drivers and cars as virtually every event on the schedule has an autograph session that is attended by the overwhelming majority of the drivers. In many cases, that autograph session is down on the track, next to the racecars, just before the drivers strap in and go to battle. If for some reason you can’t make it to the track, we still have you covered. Every one of our 20 ARCA Menards Series races is broadcast live by our television partners, FS1, FS2, and MAVTV. If you aren’t next to your television, you can follow along on your phone – you know, that little device you carry with you everywhere you go – by visiting ARCARacing. com for free live timing & scoring from every event on our schedule. Over the last 66 years, 334 different drivers have added their name to the ARCA record book as winners of an ARCA Menards Series race. Our history includes some of the big- gest names in the history of motorsports and some names that were made right here, on the Midwestern short tracks, on the dirt miles, and on the wide-open superspeedways we run in conjunction with NASCAR. Names like Kimmel, Katona, Bowsher, and Steele are joined by Allgaier, Allison, Busch, Logano, Newman, Petty, Schrader, Stewart, and Waltrip as ARCA winners. We can’t wait to see who adds their name to the record books this year! On behalf of all of us at ARCA, thank you for choosing to be here today. We hope you have a great time watching a great race, and we look forward to having you back with us again very soon. Ron Drager President and CEO - ARCA 2

The Herr’s Potato Chips 200 presented by Richmond Water Heaters marks the eleventh and final round of the 2019 ARCA Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge – 11 races at 10 different tracks, all one mile in length or less. - A short-track championship within the overall championship - Only race points are counted. A driver’s best 10 finishes in the 11 short track events are counted. - Champion crowned at Lucas Oil Raceway on Saturday, October 5, 2019 and recognized at championship awards banquet Ty Gibbs ran a thoroughly dominating race in the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers Fall Classic 200 to pick up his second career in in the ARCA Menards Series. After a last-lap, last-corner pass at Gateway in June, Gibbs took no chances on making it another suspenseful finish and led 196 of the 200 laps to record his first win on a short track. The ultra-high-banked Salem Speedway is the only short track that the ARCA Menards Series visits twice in the 2019 schedule. Michael Self probably wishes there were was only one visit to Salem. The ARCA Menards Series points leader – as well as the Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge points leader – ran into suspension issues this time around at Salem, following up his spring win with a disappointing 14th-place finish. The man with the most to gain became Christian Eckes, who missed the spring event at Salem with a freak case of food poisoning. Eckes wasn’t going to miss the race this time around and finished second, one night after winning the pole and finishing third in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series race at Las Vegas. Eckes has now put himself in the driver’s seat of the Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge, and he will control his own destiny in the short track finale. The Herr’s Potato Chips 200 from Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis will be the eleventh and final race that makes up the Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge schedule. The Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge champion will be crowned at this race, which is also the penultimate race on the overall ARCA Menards Series schedule. This race will be sure to feature a shakeup in the short track challenge standings, as drivers that have com- peted in all eleven short track races this year will be able to drop their lowest-scoring short track points race from their overall Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge points total. Only the ten best race points performances count towards a driver’s overall points total. This rule will allow a total of eight drivers to drop their lowest-scor- ing race. This also allows drivers that have missed one race, such as Eckes and Gibbs, to be on a level playing field with the drivers that have run every short track race. Dropping every full-time driver’s worst race, hypothetically, heading into LOR, Self’s 85-point lead over Corey Heim suddenly turns into a 25-point deficit to teammate Christian Eckes and makes the fight for the top spot much closer. Eckes can control his own desti- ny by finishing in the top three at LOR; from there the various clinch scenarios get a little more murky, with one constant being that Gibbs would need both Eckes and Self to encounter some significant trouble to have any chance at becoming the short track champion. The Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge is a championship within a championship for the drivers of the ARCA Menards Series. ARCA introduced the Short Track Challenge Series prior to the 2015 season as a way for drivers not eligible to compete in the entire 20-race schedule to have a chance to race for a championship. As a driver development series, ARCA attracts drivers as young as 15 years of age who are eligible to compete on tracks 1 mile or less in length. The Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge intends to benefit these drivers. The concept achieved its goal in the very first year, as then-15-year-old Kyle Weatherman, too young to run the entire schedule, was able to race for a title and won the inaugural Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge title. Weatherman also earned the Bounty Rookie of the Year honors for his 2015 season performance. Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge champions – Kyle Weatherman – 2015; Chase Briscoe – 2016; Austin Theriault – 2017; Sheldon Creed – 2018 10

2019 CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE Tale of the Tape: Self vs. Eckes Slug it Out for ARCA Menards Series Championship After 18 races, the chase for the 2019 ARCA Menards Series championship comes down to two races, a five-point separation between the top two drivers, and 300 scheduled laps of competition to decide it. Just like two boxers ready to climb in the ring and slug it out for the title belt, we mea- sured up contenders Michael Self (No. 25 Sinclair Lubricants Toyota) and Christian Eckes (No. 15 JBL Audio Toyota) prior to the the final two races. Here is the tale of the tape: There are two races remaining, one on a paved short track, Lucas Oil Raceway, and one on an intermediate superspeedway, Kansas Speedway. Self has four wins this season, two on paved short tracks, one on a dirt mile, and one on an intermediate superspeedway. In ten short track starts he has eight top-five finishes, with a 4.9 average finish. He’s led at least one lap in five short track races, led the most laps in two more, for 35 bonus points, and earned one General Tire Pole Award for an- other five bonus points giving him a total of 40 short track bonus points. His average start on short tracks is 4.1. Self scores an average of 210.5 points per short track race. Eckes has three wins this season, one on a paved short track, one on a dirt mile, and one on an intermediate superspeedway. In eight starts on short tracks - he missed the first race at Salem in April due to illness - he has seven top-five finishes with a 3.5 average finish. He has led at least one lap in four short track races for 20 bonus points, led the most laps in two races for ten more bonus points, and earned one General Tire Pole Award for another five, giving him a total of 35 bonus points on the short tracks. His average start on short tracks is 3.6. In nine short track races in 2019, Eckes has earned an average of 218.8 points per race. The two have gone head-to-head at Lucas Oil Raceway one previous time, in 2018, when Eckes won from the pole and Self started and finished eleventh. Based on the numbers on the short tracks this season, and last year’s race win at Lucas Oil Raceway, Eckes gets a slight advantage over Self in round one of the two-race shootout. Self has one win on intermediate superspeedways this season, that coming in June at Michigan. He dominated the race at Charlotte, leading 91 laps, before fading to fifth at the finish and he earned top-five results at Chicagoland and the July race at Pocono. In five intermediate superspeedway races, Self has an average finish of 4.8, and has earned two General Tire Pole Awards and led the most laps in two of those races, Char- lotte and Michigan, and led laps at Chicagoland giving him 35 intermediate superspeed- way bonus points. Self has earned an average of 206 points per race on intermediate superspeedway tracks this season, but that total would be 216 points if not for a 50-point penalty following his win at Michigan. 11

Eckes has been just as strong in the five intermediate superspeedway races. He won at Pocono in July, and finished third at Michigan, along with seventh-place runs at Charlotte, the first race at Pocono, and Chicagoland. Eckes only has five bonus points, for leading laps in his Pocono win. His average finish is nearly identical to Self’s, 5.0. Eckes has earned an average of 209 points per race per intermediate superspeedway race in 2019, above Self’s actual average but not above the pre-penalty average. While Eckes has a previous win at Lucas Oil Raceway, Self is a former winner at Kansas. He won in 2017 driving for MDM Motorsports. Eckes, however, does have some winning experience in his back pocket despite not having raced at Kansas previously. His crew chief Kevin Reed won at Kansas in 2015 with driver Mason Mitchell. Based on the above, Self is projected to earn 426 points over the final two races. The ARCA Menards Series championship point system is based on increments of five points, so his projected total will be rounded to 425. Meanwhile, Eckes is projected to earn a total of 428 points over the final two races. Again, rounding to the nearest five-point increment, he is projected to earn 430 points. Self’s current point total is 4340. With his projected points from the final two races, his total would be 4765, plus the 250 point enter and compete bonus for the final five races of the season for a final projected total of 5015. Eckes’s current point total is 4335. With his projected points from the final two races, his total would be 4765, plus the 250 point enter and compete bonus for the final five races of the season for a final projected total of 5015. That’s right, 5015 to 5015. So, should these projections hold true what’s the tie breaker? First, it would be enter and compete, which both Self and Eckes have done every race. Then, it would go to wins, which as it stands, Self leads four to three, but could change. Should Eckes win one of the last two races of the season and Self doesn’t, it would fall back to top-five finishes. Eckes would need to win one race and finish in the top five in both races then need Self to finish outside the top five in both races so each ends the season with 13 top-five finishes. If that happens, Eckes would have 17 top-ten finishes to Self’s 15 top-ten finishes. Regardless of what happens, it’s bound to be fun to watch. The ARCA Menards Series returns to action on Saturday October 5 with the Herr’s Potato Chips 200 at Lucas Oil Raceway. Practice starts the day’s activities at 2 pm ET, with General Tire Pole Qualifying at 5 pm ET. The 200-lap main event, scheduled for live broadcast MAVTV, will go green shortly after 8 pm ET.

Seven of the remaining ARCA Menards Series races will be televised live on FS1 and FS2, while MAVTV will broadcast twelve events. It is the first time in the series’ long history that each event is scheduled for live television broadcast. The season opener at Daytona International Speedway was broad- cast live on FS1, the 19th consecutive season the Daytona event was broadcast on the FOX Sports family of networks. The races on the FOX Sports family of networks include the majority of the General Tire Superspeedway Challenge events, the lone excep- tion being the series’ visit to Gateway Motorsports Park which will be televised live on MAVTV. The 2019 season is the second of a three-year agreement with FOX Sports, an extension of a relationship that dates back to 1997 when the network – then called SpeedVision – broadcast its first race from Salem Speedway. Six races will be broadcast live on FS1, starting at Daytona, plus events at Talladega, Charlotte, Michigan, Chicagoland, and Pocono, while two will be live on FS2, starting with the first event at Pocono and the sea- son finale at Kansas.

2018 REVIEW Sheldon Creed had shown flashes of brilliance in his ARCA Menards Series career before the start of the 2018 season, but he had nothing but potential to show for it. Creed, from Alpine, California, had made 17 starts and was impressive at times, scoring nine top ten finishes along the way. That included a solid runner-up performance at DuQuoin in 2017, a finish that he backed up with a third place run at Kentucky. But those great runs were peppered with disappointment as well, as mechanical failures and incidents resulted in finishes well outside the top twenty. Things changed in 2018 for Creed, who teamed with former driver turned crew chief Mark McFarland and his partners Matthew Miller and Doug Fuller for a full season run. Whatever was missing before had been found, because Creed was impressive right out of the gate. Creed scored seven top five finishes in the season’s first eight races, including his first career win when he pulled into victory lane at Michigan in June. Already in the driver’s seat for the ARCA Menards Series championship, Creed turned the heat up on the competition from there. Additional summertime wins at Gateway and Iowa built a nearly insurmountable points lead heading into the season finale at Kansas. When Creed rolled off pit road for the final race of the season, the championship went from technically his to officially his. But that didn’t keep him from putting on a show throughout the day. Creed was swept into a mid-race accident, pitted for repairs, restarted from the back before working his way through the field to claim his fourth win of the year. It was the perfect exclamation point to one of the most impressive seasons in recent memory. Led by crew chief Jeff Stankiewicz, Creed and his MDM crew racked up 16 top-ten finishes, 18 top-ten finishes, led 501 laps, and four General Tire Pole Awards. Perhaps the most impressive stat of the sea- son, however, was his 4.2 average finish. Simply put, Creed was a dominant force all season long. He also won the coveted Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge title and his team owner Matthew Miller earned the General Tire Superspeedway Challenge championship. McFarland’s MDM organization didn’t stop there. Zane Smith also recorded four wins, including a statistical dead heat at Talladega decided by mere inches over Joe Graf, Jr. Smith also won at Nashville, Toledo, and Pocono on his way to the Bounty Rookie of the Year title. MDM also won with Harrison Bur- ton at the wheel in the other Pocono race and Brandon Jones at Charlotte. MDM won half of the ARCA Menards Series’ 20 races in 2018. Venturini Motorsports, a mainstay of the ARCA Menards Series since 1983, was not to be denied either. VMS drivers accounted for eight wins throughout the season, including Michael Self’s wins at Daytona at Chicagoland, Christian Eckes’ three wins at Salem, Springfield, and Lucas Oil Raceway, 16-year-old Chandler Smith’s two wins at Madison and Salem, and open wheel dirt track ace Logan Seavey’s win at DuQuoin. While Chandler Smith only started nine races in 2018, he was so dominant that he locked up the Valvoline Lap Leader Award by nearly 300 laps over the competition. Smith led 763 laps, 299 more than champion Sheldon Creed who was second. Other winners in 2018 included Gus Dean, who followed up his 2017 Talladega win with his second career win at Elko, and Joe Graf, Jr. who won a fender-banging last-lap duel with Zane Smith at Berlin. The 2018 season saw ARCA competition initiatives such as the ARCA Ilmor 396 and the Five Star composite body continue to give teams benefits. All 20 race wins, all 100 potential top five finishes, and 199 out of 200 possible top ten finishes were earned by cars with the ARCA Ilmor 396 and the Five Star composite body. 19

2018 CHAMPION Sometimes it takes a while to figure out you’re going to be pretty good at something. That’s exactly how it was when Sheldon Creed started his stock car racing career. Creed, from Alpine, California, had excelled in all forms of motorsports he participated in from the time he was a youngster. So when he first strapped into a stock car, he thought he’d pick up right where he left off. After all, he was the youngest winner in the history of the Stadium Super Truck Series, and had competed for championships in every type of racing he’d ever been in. It didn’t quite work out that way. Creed struggled to adapt and with those struggles became frustrat- ed. The talent and speed were there but getting to the end and being in contention to win were an issue. When he paired with MDM Motorsports and crew chief Jeff Stankiewicz, that’s when Creed’s stock car career came alive. MDM’s equipment was solid and Stankiewicz’s leadership brought Creed from a middle of the pack rookie to a championship contender almost overnight. Creed’s 2018 season was nothing short of spectacular. He won four times, including his first career victory on the fast sweeping high-banks at Michigan. He followed it up with wins at Gateway, Iowa, and a rousing come-from-behind win in the season finale to clinch the championship at Kansas. Creed closed the season with sixteen top-five finishes, eighteen top-ten finishes, four General Tire Pole Awards, 501 laps led, and an impressive season-long average finish of 4.2. He and his team also swept the majority of ARCA’s post season special awards, including the Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge, the General Tire Superspeedway Challenge, and Cometic Crew Chief of the Year, the General Tire Pole Award, the R.E. Lightning Award, the S&S Volvo Laps Completed Award, and he helped give Toyota its second consecutive and third overall manu- facturer’s title. 21

To win the Bounty Rookie Challenge is an accomplishment in and of itself. The list of drivers who have been the ARCA Menards Series rookie of the year is long and distinguished, and you have to succeed on the race track and represent the sport well off of it. The battle for the 2018 Bounty Rookie Challenge came down to the final race of the year, between teammates Zane Smith and Chase Purdy. Smith held the lead going into the final event of the season at Kansas, but Purdy was within striking distance. As series officials only tally a driver’s best 15 finishes in the 20-race season in the total towards the Bounty Rookie Challenge, anything could happen. Purdy did all he could do, finishing fifth on the day, while Smith was caught up in a late-race incident and finished 17th. It wasn’t quite enough to close the gap, and Smith edged his teammate to become the 61st driver in series history to earn the rookie of the year crown joining the likes of 2017 Bounty Rookie of the Year Riley Herbst, current NASCAR Cup Series drivers Alex Bowman, Chris Buescher and Michael McDowell, and NASCAR Hall of Fame members Benny Parsons and Davey Allison. Smith has moved on to the NASCAR XFINITY Series for 2019, driving a partial schedule for Dale Earnhardt, Jr.’s JR Motorsports. 22

This flag is used to signal the beginning of the race and any restarts. Yellow (caution) The track is not clear, slow down and hold your position behind the pace car. This flag is used to signal an accident, debris caused by contact or mechanical failure or weather-related issues. ARCA rules allow cars to bunch up behind the leader. Red The track is unsafe and there is a situation that requires immediate attention. Cars must go to a designated location and stop. This flag is usually waved in cases of heavy precipitation, an accident which requires immediate medical assistance or if the track is blocked. Blue with Yellow Stripe Pay attention to your mirrors, because a faster car is approaching from behind. Contrary to popular opinion, this flag does not make it mandatory that slower cars must move over for the leader of the race. This flag gets a workout at tracks like Salem and Toledo, where traffic becomes a major factor. Black Come into the pits immediately for consultation. Normally, this flag is waved at an individual car, either because it has a mechanical problem or has broken a rule. Waved in combination with a red flag signals the end of a practice session. Black with White Cross Cars that refuse to acknowledge the black flag are shown this flag, which means ARCA will no longer score them until they come into the pits for consultation. White There is one lap remaining in the scheduled distance. Checkered The event has reached its scheduled distance and is complete. 25

FIVE STAR RACE CAR BODIES Teams competing in the ARCA Menards Series have the option of running new flange-fit, modular panel, composite material bodies at all tracks. At Daytona and Talladega, the only body eligible for competition is the Five Star Body. The showroom stock-appearing Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet SS body packages are constructed with state of the art, composite laminate blend materials. They are engineered to be lightweight and durable, and to resist de- flection at high speeds. The complete body is comprised of 12 flange-fit modular panels, for ease of installation and quick replacement, and weighs less than 135 pounds. The ease-of-installation design allows teams to install the entire body in their respective shops, and to perform replacement of damaged panels at the team’s shop or at the track, resulting in significant savings in time and labor required for repairs. ARCA ILMOR 396 The ARCA Ilmor 396 is a progressive and innovative engine package option which debuted in 2015. • The purpose-built engine was developed and is assembled and maintained exclusively by Ilmor Engineering. • The engine utilizes a 396-cubic inch displacement steel engine block and delivers a minimum 700 horsepower and 500 foot pounds of torque running at 7500 RPM. • The engine is fuel-injected with a Holley Electronic Control Unit controlling the entire fuel injection and ignition systems. 28

THE CREW Your local auto shop might change your tires, but that’s where the simi- larity to an ARCA pit stop ends. In just 15 seconds, an ARCA pit crew can change four tires, make chassis adjustments and even supply a full tank of Sunoco race fuel. At any of the 20 races on the 2019 schedule, your favorite team will need to make a pit stop to refuel and take new tires in order to achieve optimal performance. Fast pit stops are vital to success; anything less than perfection can make a contender lose multiple posi- tions. Six team members are permitted by ARCA to be “over the wall” and service a car during a pit stop. Tire Carriers Two tire carriers for each team (one for the front, one for the rear) start on the right side and proceed back to the left side, carrying new tires over the pit wall to hang for tire changers Jacker Each team’s jack man carries a hydraulic jack weighing approximately 20 pounds to lift the car on both sides (right first, left second), allowing the tires to be changed. Fueler This crew member fills the car’s fuel cell with a maximum of three 12-gallon cans of fuel, which weigh 81 pounds each. Tire Changer The tire changers begin by removing and replacing the right-side tire using an air-powered impact wrench to loosen and tighten five lug nuts, which hold the wheel in place. The tire changer moves to the opposite side of the car to change the other tire. Support Crew Crew members behind the pit wall help by passing tires and fuel cans and collecting items used in the pit stop by those who are over the wall. ARCA Official Crews are supervised by ARCA officials, who work to maintain safety and watch for rule violations. 29
