During the competition caution pit stops, Joe Gibbs Racing wisely adjusted Brandon Jones’ No. 81 Toyota. Jones took the lead shortly thereafter from Corey Heim and drove to win the ARCA Menards Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Friday (May 27).
Jones won in his first ARCA start this year. It’s his sixth career ARCA victory and second one at Charlotte.
Corey Heim finished second, followed by Rajah Caruth in third place. Caruth fought a very loose No. 6 Chevrolet throughout the race, including making a jaw-dropping save.
Connor Mosack and Greg Van Alst rounded out the top five in fourth and fifth place, respectively. Mosack bested his career-best ARCA finish of fifth place, set in the previous ARCA race this season at Kansas Speedway.
Daniel Dye finished in sixth place after his No. 43 Chevrolet sustained damage in two separate incidents early in the race.
Amber Balcaen and Tony Cosentino earned their career-best ARCA finishes by finishing seventh and ninth, respectively. Nick Sanchez, who won back-to-back ARCA races entering Charlotte, sandwiched between those two with an eighth place finish. Sanchez felt an issue on his No. 2 Chevrolet in the closing laps. Although he did not pit, he sped entering pit road before his Rev Racing team instructed him to return onto the track.
The first half of the General Tire 150 was extremely messy with a number of cautions before the scheduled competition caution.
