ARCA
  • Tyler Reif (No. 13 Central Coast Cabinets Toyota) swept the day at Shasta Speedway; he was quickest in practice, turned the fastest lap in General Tire Pole Qualifying and led every lap on his way to his first ARCA Menards Series West win of 2024. It was Reif’s second career series victory; he also won the 2023 season opener at Phoenix Raceway, a combination race with the ARCA Menards Series. The win was also the first for team owners Todd and Kelly Souza since Todd’s victory at Utah Motorsports Campus in 2008, 117 starts ago.
  • Reigning ARCA Menards Series West champion Sean Hingorani (No. 5 Fidelity Capital Toyota) qualified second and finished second.
  • Reif assumed the unofficial ARCA Menards Series West championship points lead over Hingorani by five points with his victory at Shasta. Both drivers have finished among the top five in six of the series’ seven races so far in 2024.
