Toledo, OH. (June 30, 2021) – The ARCA Menards Series summer short track swing will be in full effect when it hits Berlin Raceway for the Zinsser SmartCoat 200 on Saturday night, July 17 and fans wishing to attend can “Save Big Money” by purchasing advance discounted tickets at any one of the 11 Grand Rapids-area Menards locations.
Advance discounted tickets are currently on sale for just $20, a $10 savings off the race day price. Kids 11 and under are just $10 when accompanied by an adult ticket holder. Click here for a full listing of Menards stores offering the discounted tickets.
The Zinsser SmartCoat 200 will be the 31st race for the ARCA Menards Series at the 0.438-mile oval located just west of Grand Rapids in Marne. The most recent race, in 2018, was punctuated by a slam-bang dash to the finish in which current NASCAR Xfinity Series driver Joe Graf, Jr. muscled his way past NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship contender Zane Smith in the last corner of the last lap to steal the win by 0.041 of a second at the finish line.
Previous ARCA Menards Series winners at Berlin also include former series champions Bob Keselowski, Tim Steele, Frank Kimmel, and Justin Lofton, as well as current NASCAR Cup Series driver and hometown favorite Erik Jones. Jones won in 2013 at just 15 years of age, putting him on a trajectory to win the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship in 2015 along with a pair of Cup Series races. He now drives for Richard Petty Motorsports.
The Zinsser SmartCoat 200 will feature a full day of on-track activity starting with 45 minutes of practice for the ARCA Menards Series at 4:15 pm local time, followed by General Tire Pole Qualifying at 6 pm local, and the night’s 200-lap feature event at 8 pm ET. The Zinsser SmartCoat 200 will also be the fourth round of the 2021 Sioux Chief Showdown, a series-within-the-series that allows drivers younger than 18 years of age to compete for a championship. Ty Gibbs has won both of the Sioux Chief Showdown races so far in 2021 and has a six-point lead over Thad Moffitt in the standings entering the next round of the Showdown at Elko Speedway on July 10.
For those who cannot watch the action at the track, the Zinsser SmartCoat 200 will be televised live on MAVTV starting at 8 pm ET. For updated event information, please visit ARCARacing.com and TrackEnterprises.com.
