ISABELLA ROBUSTO Teams Up with RAFA Racing for ARCA Series Debut at Phoenix

October 22, 2025

• ISABELLA ROBUSTO is making moves with RAFA Racing Team, a newcomer to ARCA competition that’s bringing serious sports car credentials to stock car racing. The team scored both driver and team championships in IMSA VP SportsCar Challenge this year, so they’re not exactly showing up empty-handed to their ARCA debut at Phoenix.
• Let’s talk about what ROBUSTO brings to this partnership – nine top fives and 14 top 10s this season with the now-closed Venturini Motorsports, finishing fourth in points. That’s the kind of consistent performance that smart teams notice, and RAFA clearly sees the value in having a proven driver launch their stock car program.
• The timing here is strategic brilliance – debuting during NASCAR championship weekend at Phoenix gives RAFA maximum visibility for their new venture. With plans for select ARCA races in 2026 and ROBUSTO’s 2026 plans still under wraps, this Phoenix run feels like an extended audition that could benefit both parties long-term.
