* Max Reaves (No. 18 Cook Out Toyota) scored his second career ARCA Menards Series victory in just his third career start in Friday’s Badger 200 at Madison International Speedway.

The team has won ARCA Menards Series races with Brent Crews at Phoenix Raceway and with Reaves at Elko Speedway, ARCA Menards Series East races with Crews at Rockingham Speedway and Reaves at Five Flags Speedway, Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, and Flat Rock Speedway, and in the ARCA Menards Series West at Sonoma Raceway with William Sawalich. * Lavar Scott (No. 6 Max Siegel Inc.
