Jeffrey Maconi will make his ARCA Menards Series East debut at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on May 3, he announced on March 26.
Maconi will drive the No. 86 Ford for Clubb Racing Inc. He will be sponsored by Maconi Setup Shop, 4K Motorsports, Abruzzi Racewear and Big Fish BBQ.
The race will be CRI’s first start at Nashville Fairgrounds.
Maconi said hopes to compete in more ARCA races this season for the organization.
Maconi started his racing career in the CRA Late Model Sportsman Series in 2024 driving for BLaster Motorsports, owned by ARCA Menards Series driver Brayton Laster.
Maconi has also been involved in the sim racing community since 2020 when he launched his company Maconi Setup Shop.
CRI has fielded the No. 86 in both ARCA national races in 2025. The organization debuted the second entry in 2024, running it in eight races en route to a 25th-place owner points standings.
CRI also fields the No. 03 in the main series for team owner Alex Clubb. The team is unlikely to field the No. 03 at Nashville, only entering Maconi in the No. 86, Clubb confirmed to Frontstretch.
Mark Kristl joined Frontstretch at the beginning of the 2019 NASCAR season. He is the site's ARCA Menards Series editor. Kristl is also an Eagle Scout and a proud University of Dayton alum.
