The ARCA Menards Series has released its schedule for the 2025 season as part of an announcement-heavy day.
According to a press release, the grassroots series will have 20 races at 19 tracks next season. Nineteen of these races will air on FS1 or FS2. The lone exception is the season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway, which is the first-ever ARCA event to air on Fox.
The ARCA Menards Series reached an extension with Fox Sports before making this announcement, which keeps the racing series on Fox Sports platforms through at least 2028.
"We're proud of the long-standing partnership between ARCA and FOX Sports in what will span across three decades during the course of this most recent extension," said Ben Baker, NASCAR's VP of Broadcasting & Production Operations, in a statement.
"FOX's coverage of the ARCA Menards Series continues to expand to a larger audience and we're looking forward to their coverage of great racing in the years to come."
The schedule features some expected tracks. This includes Daytona, Phoenix, Talladega, Charlotte, and Watkins Glen as examples. Once again, the championship will be determined by a race at Toledo Speedway.
However, the schedule also features a new addition.
The ARCA Menards Series teams will head to Lime Rock Park in June to join the Craftsman Truck Series teams. Lime Rock Park is a new addition to the NASCAR schedule, and it will host a doubleheader weekend.

Along with the schedule announcement, the grassroots series provided another major update.
ARCA and Menards have reached a multi-year extension to keep the home improvement retailer as the entitlement partner of the top-level ARCA Series, the ARCA East series, and the ARCA West series.
"Menards supports racing because the entire Menard family loves the sport," said Mike Helton, Senior Advisor, NASCAR.
"The continued partnership between Menards and ARCA is a tremendous benefit to the racers who compete in the ARCA Menards Series and the fans all across the country who love to see the stars of tomorrow racing at both grassroots-level short tracks and some of the biggest motorsports venues in the world."
