ARCA Phoenix Entry List

The second race of both the ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series West seasons — and both series’ lone combination race of 2026 — takes place at Phoenix Raceway this weekend with the General Tire 150. There are 40 cars entered, a full field. Monty Tipton will make his first start of 2026 in Nascimento-Joiner Motorsports’ No. 4. Nate Moeller, Brad Perez and Dustin Hillenburg will fill in the Nos. 9-11 for Fast Track Racing. Taylor Reimer moves to Central Coast Racing’s No. 13 for this event after driving for Pinnacle Racing Group at Daytona International Speedway. Max Reaves …

His other races include Pocono Raceway, Chicagoland Speedway, Lime Rock Park, Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, Salem Speedway and the second Kansas race, though he did not specify the his teams for those events.

“I am really excited to have the opportunity to return to Wayne and his entire team in 2026,” Laster said in a team release. “We had a lot of ups and downs last year, and by scaling back, we should be able to have more consistent ups across our 2026 campaign.

“I also can’t wait to get behind the wheel of one of the Clubb Racing Inc. cars. Alex (Clubb, team owner) has really grown his program over the last couple of years, and this will be a really neat opportunity to work with him and his entire team. By scaling back to just part time, it allows us to explore a couple of different options with racing this year at this level and also focus on some more local stuff.”

Laster competed full time for Peterson in 2025, earning one top 10 and finishing eighth in points.
