ISABELLA ROBUSTO Extends Top-10 Streak to Eight Races in ARCA Championship Hunt

• ISABELLA ROBUSTO is quietly building the kind of consistency that wins championships, extending her top-10 streak to eight straight races with an eighth-place finish at Watkins Glen. After dealing with an abundance of bad luck early in the season, she’s found her rhythm and now sits just two points behind Jason Kitzmiller for fourth in the standings – a position that reflects her steady climb up the rankings.
• While the championship contenders dealt with mechanical gremlins and tire issues, ROBUSTO kept her nose clean and maintained her position throughout the race, starting sixth and finishing eighth. Her approach has been methodical rather than flashy, but in a series where consistency pays dividends, she’s proving that staying out of trouble is often more valuable than leading laps.
• The upcoming dirt races present an interesting challenge for ROBUSTO, who doesn’t have extensive dirt racing experience. However, she’s already proven she can adapt quickly – last year at Springfield, she was a late replacement entry, started at the back, and worked her way to a runner-up finish that remains her best series result to date. That performance suggests she shouldn’t be overlooked when the series heads to the dirt tracks.
