ARCA RE/MAX 250 at Cayuga Motor Speedway This Sunday, June 29th
The ARCA RE/MAX Series heads to Nelles Corner, Ontario, Canada this weekend for the ARCA RE/MAX 250 at Cayuga Motor Speedway, race 10 of the 21 race season schedule. Roush Fenway’s Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. leads the series point standings by 95 points over former Formula One driver Scott Speed and is the only repeat winner this season. In all, eight different drivers have found victory lane, including Michael Annett (Daytona), Justin Allgaier (Salem), Matt Hawkins (Iowa), Speed (Kansas), Joey Logano (Rockingham), Matt Carter (Toledo), Justin Lofton (Michigan) and Stenhouse (Kentucky, Pocono).
The ARCA RE/MAX Series record for most different race winners in a single season of competition is 17, set in 2006.
ARCA RE/MAX Series No Stranger to Canada
Although the Cayuga ARCA RE/MAX 250 marks the series’ inaugural appearance to Cayuga Motor Speedway and first Canadian race in more than 15 years, the touring stock car series has enjoyed a friendly relationship with tracks north of the US border dating back to 1967, when Bill Clemens won a 100 lap race at Capital City Speedway in Ottawa, Canada.

Townley Posts Runner-up Finish in NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model Feature at Lanier
Less than 24 hours after making his second career start in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, ARCA RE/MAX Series SunTrust Rookie contender John Wes Townley returned to his racing roots Saturday night in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Late Model feature at Lanier National Speedway.
Townley’s racing weekend began Friday evening when he piloted the No. 09 Roush Fenway Racing Zaxby’s Ford F-150 to an 18th-place finish at the Milwaukee Mile in the Camping World RV Sales 200. After boarding a plane early Saturday morning in Milwaukee bound for Georgia, the Watkinsville, Ga. resident immediately turned his attention to mastering the legendary .375-mile Lanier National Speedway Oval, where he finished second after starting third.
Townley was not the only ARCA RE/MAX Series driver who raced this weekend. ARCA 200 at Daytona winner Michael Annett finished sixth in a Bill Davis Racing Toyota in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Camping World RV Sales 200 at the Milwaukee Mile and Tayler Malsam finished 11th in the Skagit Speedway Dirt Cup 410 Sprint feature in his home state of Washington. In addition, several ARCA RE/MAX Series drivers competed in the Greased Lightning 250 Hooter’s Pro Cup race at Myrtle Beach Speedway, including Iowa race winner Matt Hawkins (finished third), Clay Rogers (finished fourth), Tom Hessert, Jr. (finished 12th) and Bryan Silas (finished 20th).
Roush Fenway’s Stenhouse, Jr. Continues to Lead Point Standings
