The Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) has hosted stock car racing events for the ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East in Toledo, Ohio during numerous seasons and times of the year since 1953. Races were held at Toledo Raceway Park from 1953 through 1962, and at Toledo Speedway since 1963. The race is currently known as the Owens Corning 200.
History In its first year of operations in 1953, ARCA, then known as the Midwest Automobile Racing Club (MARC), debuted at the Toledo Raceway Park, with Jim Romine winning the inaugural race. Over the first ten years of the MARC Racing Series (excluding 1959), several races were held at the track per season, with as many as six in 1956. MARC's events in Toledo, Ohio were moved to the half-mile Toledo Speedway in 1963. Numerous events were held under the renamed ARCA's sanctioning until it was taken off the series' schedule from 1978 to 1983, after which it was removed once more in 1988. From 1990 to 1994 and 2004 to 2011, two ARCA races were held annually at the track, one in the springtime and the other in the fall. After a brief absence from the track in 1995, only one race was included on the calendar in 1996–2003. Since 2012, ARCA has only hosted one annual race at Toledo, apart from 2020 when three races were held at the track because a Toledo doubleheader replaced races at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course and Elko Speedway due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
