Max Reaves has earned the pole for tonight’s ARCA Menards Series race at Salem Speedway.
It’s Reaves’ second pole of the season in ARCA national competition, and his fourth across all divisions of ARCA in 2025. Reaves set a pole lap of 17.301 seconds, which was five hundredths of a second faster than second place.
Sharing the front row with Reaves will be Lavar Scott, who gets his best start since Berlin Speedway back in June.
Brenden Queen and Andrew Patterson will share row two, starting the race from third and fourth, respectively. For Patterson, fourth marks his best career ARCA start.
Rounding out the top five starters will be Leland Honeyman, who starts fifth. He’ll share the third row with Isabella Robusto to begin the race, who starts sixth.
The remainder of the top 10 starters include Conner Popplewell, Will Kimmel, Mason Mitchell and Jason Kitzmiller.
All but two of the 21 drivers entered in this evening’s race took to the track in qualifying, as both Brad Smith and Chris Golden failed to record a lap and will start in the rear.
