ARCA West Notes: 28th Trip To All American Speedway

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — After two consecutive road course races, the ARCA Menards Series West returns to the bullrings in the NAPA Auto Parts 150 Presented by the West Coast Stock Car Motorsports Hall of Fame at All American Speedway, the ninth round of 13 scheduled for 2026.

It will be the 28th West race at All American Speedway since 1977.

• Trevor Huddleston (No. 50 High Point Racing / Racecar Factory Ford), the 2024 winner at All American Speedway, leads the ARCA Menards West standings into the NAPA Auto Parts 150 Presented by the West Coast Stock Car Motorsports Hall of Fame by 18 points over Mason Massey (No. 19 NAPA Auto Care Chevrolet).

Huddleston and Massey have each won twice this season; Huddleston has scored wins at Shasta Speedway and Colorado National Speedway, the two most recent oval track races, while Massey won the season opener at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway and the most recent event on the road course at Portland International Raceway.

• Robbie Kennealy (No. 1 Jan’s Towing / Jan’s Racing Ford) is the defending winner at All American Speedway and comes into this year’s race with six straight top-10 finishes that has moved him to third in the ARCA Menards West standings.

Kennealy is 33 points out of the lead and 15 points behind Massey for second with five races remaining.

• Cole Denton (No. 71 Jan’s Towing / Jan’s Racing Ford) dropped to fourth in the ARCA Menards West standings after a tough day at Portland that saw him finish 16th. Denton has one other finish outside the top 10, a 24th-place finish at Phoenix Raceway, but his other finishes have been stellar.

Denton also has two wins on the season, at Tucson Speedway and Tri-City Raceway, a runner-up finish at Shasta Speedway, and a fourth-place finish at Sonoma Raceway.

• Hailie Deegan (No. 16 Columbia Bank Chevrolet) heads to All American Speedway coming off her best finish of the season, third, at Portland. Deegan started from the pole and finished second in her last start at All American in 2019.
