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.

“I’m pretty sure they don’t wanna hear it,” said the 27-year-old. “They already got their minds made up about me so it’s hard to convince them otherwise, you know? But [I would say], ‘You just can’t judge a book by its cover.’ “

PENSACOLA, Fla. - Based on the way he barely lost the ARCA Menards Series East season-opener to fellow rookie Max Gutiérrez a few weeks ago, Sammy Smith’s eventual first win on the platform felt inevitable.
It became a reality Saturday night at 5 Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, where the 16-year-old from Johnston, Iowa, won the Pensacola 200 in convincing fashion.
Smith’s first victory came in just his second series start.
Smith, who earlier Saturday earned the General Tire Pole Award when he put the No. 18 Engine Ice Toyota on the top of the speed chart toward the end of an open qualifying session, finished ahead of second-place Mason Diaz by more than two seconds on the half-mile paved oval.
