Overview
- Max Reaves held off late challengers to win the ARCA Menards Series East Sunbelt Rentals 150 at Flat Rock, securing his second East victory of the season, his second straight win at Flat Rock, and the fifth win of his career.
- The race’s final 10 laps saw five lead changes among Reaves, Tristan McKee, and Isaac Kitzmiller, with McKee finishing second and Kitzmiller third after the two made contact following Reaves’ move for the lead.
- Carson Brown set the pole and topped practice but suffered fuel pickup and handling troubles that forced an unscheduled pit stop and dropped him to an 18th-place finish.
- Michael Maples withdrew after a blown engine on his self-run No. 99 Chevrolet and was credited with last place, while Quinn Davis scored a career-best fifth-place finish and Matt Kemp matched his career best in fourth.
- Flat Rock’s 0.25-mile layout produced heavy lapped-traffic and bumping that shaped the result and left Reaves with a larger points margin heading into the two upcoming ARCA/ARCA East combination races, beginning at Iowa Speedway next week.
