The ARCA Menards Series announced its 2023 season schedule on Friday, Nov. 11.
The schedule remains largely unchanged aside from a few date swaps, as every track on the 2022 schedule will return for its respective races in 2023. The season finale will also return to Toledo Speedway for the second year in a row.
Of the 20 races scheduled for next season, 10 of them will be paired with a NASCAR Cup Series race: Daytona International Speedway, Phoenix Raceway, Talladega Superspeedway, Kansas Speedway (twice), Charlotte Motor Speedway, Pocono Raceway, Michigan International Speedway, Watkins Glen International and Bristol Motor Speedway.
Of the remaining 10 races, three of them will be paired with the Craftsman Truck Series in a doubleheader: Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park and The Milwaukee Mile.
The other seven races at Berlin Raceway, Elko Speedway, Iowa Speedway, Illinois State Fairgrounds, DuQuoin State Fairgrounds, Salem Speedway and Toledo will be run as standalone events.
