LANIE BUICE Makes History With Fourth Consecutive ARCA Top-Five Finish

July 4, 2026

• LANIE BUICE finished runner-up at Chicagoland, joining ERIN CROCKER as only the second woman with four consecutive ARCA top-fives. The 19-year-old from Jackson, Georgia drove for Pinnacle Racing Group in the Ashley Furniture 150.
• The rookie overcame equipment failure when her cool suit stopped working in near-90 degree conditions, joking post-race about looking like a ‘tomato head’ but staying focused during green-flag runs at speed.
• BUICE credited crew chief Kevin Reed Jr. and her No. 77 team for consistently delivering fast cars. She emphasized the strong working relationship and team effort behind her historic consistency streak in just four series starts.
