ARCA Preview: 2021 Shore Lunch 150 at Iowa
Can history be made in the 2021 Shore Lunch 150 at Iowa Speedway, the first combination race for the ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East?
There has never been either a two-time or back-to-back winner in ARCA history at the short track. Ty Gibbs enters the 150-lap race as the defending race winner and is the only competitor with a victory at this 0.875-mile oval in Newton.
Gibbs dominated this race last year, leading 140 of the 150 laps en route to winning by 1.41 seconds. He enters the Shore Lunch 150 second in points, trailing Corey Heim by five as this season is halfway complete. In addition to leading the most laps at Iowa last year, Gibbs has led the most laps this year by a landslide, more than four times any other driver. He seems to be the prohibitive favorite.
