The 2019 General Tire 150 was the seventh stock car race of the 2019 ARCA Menards Series season, and the 2nd iteration of the event. The race was held on Thursday, May 23, 2019, in Concord, North Carolina, at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a 1.5 mile (2.4 km) permanent tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 100 laps, but was increased to 109 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. Ty Majeski, driving for Chad Bryant Racing, would survive two overtime restarts, and hold off a charging Sheldon Creed to earn his first career ARCA Menards Series win. Michael Self dominated the entirety of the race, leading a race-high 91 laps. To fill out the podium, Creed, driving for GMS Racing, and Gus Dean, driving for Win-Tron Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.
