The 2026 Owens Corning 200 was an ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East combination race held on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at Toledo Speedway in Toledo, Ohio. Contested over 200 laps on the 0.500-mile (0.805 km) short track, it was the sixth race of the 2026 ARCA Menards Series season, the fourth race of the 2026 ARCA Menards Series East season, and the 5th running of the event.
In an action-packed race, Tristan McKee, driving for Pinnacle Racing Group, pulled off a dominating performance, leading all but six laps after numerous issues occurred with pole-sitter Max Reaves, including a spin early in the event. This was McKee's second career ARCA Menards Series win, his first of the season, and his third career ARCA Menards Series East win.[7] Thomas Annunziata finished second, and Carson Brown finished third. Jake Bollman and Caden Kvapil rounded out the top five, while Isabella Robusto, Jason Kitzmiller, Wesley Slimp, Ryan Vargas, and Craig Pellegrini Jr. rounded out the top ten.
Report
Background
Toledo Speedway is a half-mile paved oval racetrack located in Toledo, Ohio, United States. It is owned jointly by Roy Mott and NASCAR. It is operated by NASCAR and run as the sister track to Flat Rock Speedway in Flat Rock, Michigan.
Toledo was one of the oldest tracks to still host an ARCA Menards Series race until 2019. Starting in 2020, after NASCAR bought ARCA, the race became part of the rebranded ARCA Menards Series East (former NASCAR K&N Pro Series East). However, due to COVID-19 related scheduling changes, the track ended up hosting three ARCA races in 2020, and returned on the national schedule in 2021.
