Seven Women in One Race: ARCA West Set for Historic Phoenix Weekend

Seven women will compete in the ARCA Menards Series West's Desert Diamond Casino West Valley 100 at Phoenix Raceway, breaking a historic record in the series. Hailie Deegan, Isabella Robusto, Jade Avedisian, Taylor Reimer, Mia Lovell, Dystany Spurlock and Quinn Davis were initially entered, but Robusto withdrew, leaving six women in the lineup.

This still surpasses the previous ARCA West record of five women set in Las Vegas in 2021 and Phoenix earlier this season. The remaining six drivers are all poised to make an impact on the track. Jade Avedisian, who qualified second, is joined by Taylor Reimer in third and Mia Lovell in fifth. Deegan, the series' proven champion, starts eighth, while Spurlock and Davis are 18th and 22nd respectively.
