The 2026 ARCA Menards Series West schedule will be a 13-race affair at 11 different tracks, ARCA announced Dec. 2.
According to a release revealing the schedule, its 13-race setup will be the largest for the series since 2019, up from 12 in 2025.
It includes one combination race with the ARCA Menards Series’ national circuit, coming in the second event of the season at Phoenix Raceway.
The season kicks off at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway on Feb. 28 and concludes at the same track on Oct. 31, a shift from the series’ usual Phoenix finale.
The second Phoenix race will instead be held one race before on Oct. 17.
Shasta Speedway also rejoins the series, with its race being run on May 2.
The announcement follows the national ARCA series’ schedule reveal earlier this fall; the ARCA Menards Series East’s rundown has not yet been announced.
