Venturini Motorsports Sweeps Only ARCA Practice At Talladega

The ARCA Racing Series held its only practice session this morning at the 2.66 mile Superspeedway. To no surprise, Michael Self and Venturini Motorsports swept the top three spots in practice, thus continuing their 2019 ARCA dominance so far this season.

Self led the trio of Venturini Motorsports drivers with a speed of 181.069 mph equalling to 52.886 seconds. Teammates Christian Eckes and Brandon Lynn rounded the top three.

Venturini has won every race this season as a team. Harrison Burton won at Daytona, Michael Self at Five Flags Speedway and most recently at Salem Speedway a couple of weeks ago.

Todd Gilliland was fourth, Grant Quinlan fifth, Gus Dean sixth, Andy Seuss seventh, Joe Graf Jr eighth, Travis Braden ninth, and newly announced driver for Chad Bryant Racing Ty Majeski tenth.

Majeski will be competing for Chad Bryant Racing with six races this year starting at Talladega tonight. Majeski will also be driving for the team at Charlotte in May, Pocono, Michigan, Chicagoland and the season finale at Kansas Speedway in October.

In other ARCA news, it was announced this morning in the social media world that current Chad Bryant Racing driver, Joe Graf Jr will be competing in select Xfinity Series races for Richard Childress Racing. Graf Jf will also be pursuing an internship at RCR as well.

Qualifying kicks off in an hour at 3:30 p.m./ET followed by the 76 lapper General Tire 200 at 6:00 p.m./ET live on Fox Sports 1.
