For just the SECOND TIME in ARCA Menards Series West history, two women have finished inside the top three in a race -- Hailie Deegan (P1), Kenna Mitchell (P3).
Julia Landauer and Nichole Behar finished P2 and P3 in an event at Meridian in 2016.

For those wondering, the other two winless champions in ARCA National history are: Bob Dotter (1980) & Andres Perez De Lara (2024)
Dotter would go on to win two more championships in 1983 & 1984 with Perez De Lara currently racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series
Should Jake Bollman win the championship without winning Kansas, Bollman would be just the third driver in @ARCA_Racing National tour history to win the drivers championship without winning a race
Bollman has five second place finishes and 12 top 5’s & 18 top 10s in 19 races
With 1 race to go in the 2026 ARCA Menards Series season, point leader @JBollmanRacing leads by 16 points over @tannunziata15 headed into Kansas
Bollman will need a finish of 10th place or better in order to mathematically clinch the title regardless of where Annunziata finishes
