ARCA Menards Series: Will ARCA Race at Homestead?
The ARCA Menards Series will not compete at Homestead-Miami Speedway during Championship Weekend.
The series completed its 2026 season earlier in the year, with the championship decided at Kansas Speedway in September. As a result, no ARCA race, practice, or qualifying session is scheduled at Homestead this weekend.
Fans who want to follow the series during the offseason can find race replays and highlights through FOX Sports platforms and the NASCAR Channel.
Without ARCA, the three active national series will provide the championship action at Homestead. The Truck Series kicks off the championship action on Friday, with the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series taking over Saturday before the Cup Series wraps up the weekend on Sunday.
