The ARCA Racing Series will turn left and right only once this season at New Jersey Motorsports Park (NJMP) this weekend.

It will be the seventh race held at the facility, with Justin Allgaier winning the inaugural event in 2008. The driver to beat the last three years has been Andrew Ranger, who is the three-time and defending winner of the race. Ranger had to battle current Nationwide Series driver Chase Elliott for the victory the last two seasons. The Canadian driver’s background in road-course racing has contributed to his success in ARCA, as well as in the K&N Series.
