GRRL! SUMMARY:
- HAILIE DEEGAN claimed her second ARCA Menards Series West win of 2026 and the fifth of her career at Kern County Raceway, taking the lead from the jump despite pre-race qualifying frustrations.
- Rain cut the Kern finale to just 42 laps — short of the halfway mark — but ARCA officials invoked rulebook clause 9-13-2.C to declare the result official after a 90-minute red-flag delay.
- MIA LOVELL crossed the line second, matching her career-best finish and showing strong pace by keeping DEEGAN honest during the mid-race green-flag run before further cautions disrupted the battle.
- The West finale at Kern closed out all ARCA platform racing for the 2026 season, with DEEGAN finishing on a high note after a competitive year on the West circuit.
UPCOMING:
- ARCA Menards Series national division opener at Daytona International Speedway, February 2027 (exact date not stated, found Nov 1, 2026)
