Leading with 8 laps to go and a sure win when he suddenly blew a tire going down the backstretch. That set up another great finish to the ARCA season, and Christopher Bell took advantage of fresh tires and won the race. Sponsor updates #02 - Robert B.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series racer now has three wins in six starts on this tour. 3.

Bell started back a but but shot past everyone to take the lead in about three-quarters of a lap. 4.

Does anyone know if ARCA has a jumping the restart rule for the whole field or just for the front row? 8.

I don't think there are any restart violations in ARCA. 9. ol hank posted: 09.15.2017 - 3:58 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) #7 Sponsor: Pray for Texas/Grant County Mulch 10.

I have no idea why. 11. rm posted: 09.15.2017 - 8:19 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Bell's pass was perfectly legal, earning Venturini their first 2017 win and Bell a big old kiss on the lips from big Bill Venturini in victory lane! 2 was a Ford, they were back to the old Praytor car they ran in June 88 owner - Mason Mitchell, Reed is the crew chief for MMM and is just listed as the owner I believe the 98 with Wayne Peterson driving was originally entered but withdrew. I wrote down the to the rear list but I can't find it at the moment. Thomas Praytor blew up in qualifying and had to go to a backup car, they parked it so they could get a head start on fixing this. I don't know if it was their Ilmor or their Ford legacy engine. Dale Shearer was originally entered in his 94 car but some driver swapping went on there. James Swanson was brought in by Peterson for the second time this year, driving the 0 while Mark Meunier moved over to Shearer's ride. Finally, whoever was looking for me in the ARCA site chat, I saw your message but could not respond...don't want to compromise my semi-anonymity, lol. But i'll answer whatever relevant questiins you've got here. 12. 1995z71 posted: 09.15.2017 - 11:19 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) Sheldon Creed might need to still in Trucks, looking pretty bad lately. 13.

He got taken out by someone else wrecking in front of him here. He's been excellent all year long in ARCA. Was even running top 10 at Road America in Xfinity before a mechanical problem. 16.

Jeff posted: 09.17.2017 - 8:40 am Rate this comment: (5) (0) I'm no fan of Herbst, but it wasn't all "lack of talent" here. The team blew an engine in qualifying and spent every minute leading up to the race installing the backup engine. They joined the field during pace laps and started shotgun on the field. They struggled to break into the top ten for long, though. Admittedly it was a stacked field. Theriault just about had the race won on a late-race restart, but with fresh tires and nothing to lose, Christopher Bell easily took the lead from Theriault (on older tires). Austin also took some nose damage from Michael Self's tire failure, so he was fortunate that it did not disturb the handling more. 18.

JSPorts posted: 09.17.2017 - 9:33 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) From ARCA's website: "25 points awarded upon pre-entering and competing. Finishing positions: Points begin at 200 for 1st place and fall in 5-point increments each position: 1st-200, 2nd-195, 3rd-190, 4th-185, 5th-180, and so on. Qualifying points: 1st-15, 2nd-10, 3rd-5. No other positions receive qualifying points, just the top-3. 5 points awarded to any official lap leader. 5 additional points awarded to the leader of the most laps. Bonus points: 100 points awarded upon entering and competing in each pre-designated 5-race leg of overall schedule. In other words; if you compete in the first 5 races; then you will receive the 100 point bonus at the conclusion of the 5-race leg. If, for any reason, you miss 1 or more of the 5, then you would not receive the 100 point bonus. The same would also be true of the 2nd 5-race leg: events 6 through 10, and so on. Note: If the sum of events in any given year does not add up in factors of 5, the 100 point bonus will also be awarded for the remaining races. In other words, if the schedule should, by example, include 11, 12, 13 or 14 events, there will be a 100 point bonus attached for the remaining races provided drivers compete in all of them whether it is 1, 2, 3 or 4 more. The same would be true if the schedule had 16, 17, 18 or 19 events, and so on. All bonus points attached immediately following each pre-designated leg. Why the bonus points? It can encourage, from time to time, full-time participation." It would be cool to see the race points and race-by-race standings listed for ARCA. 20. Sector posted: 09.17.2017 - 11:34 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) I honestly don't understand the Bonus Points with the 5-race legs and 25 points pre-entering/competing. I was hoping someone would explain it less confusingly for me. 21. rm posted: 09.17.2017 - 11:56 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Ok I'll do my best. The season is 20 races long, which can be split up into 4 blocks of 5 races. Races 1-5, then 6-10, 10-15, and 16-20. If you run every race in that block - for example, Daytona through Toledo were the first 5 this year - you get 100 bonus points in the standings. It's a little incentive to get drivers to try to run the full schedule - you get 400 total bonus points if you run every race. As you can tell by the standings each year, there aren't very many drivers that run the full schedule, so the bonus points are a way for drivers who show up every week to finish higher in the standings and look better for sponsors - after all, that's what it's all about. If you enter a race you automatically get 25 points even if you wind up DNQ'ing. NASCAR does a similar thing with owner's points. It's another way to get teams to show up every week, though that's more of a factor when there's a full field at tracks like Daytona or Talladega. That might even come into play with some of the mile and a halfs next year if they manage to draw more than 36. ARCA does have updated standings on their site available within a few hours of the race finishing. I don't think they show the race points but if anyone was really interested I could probably calculate it for any given race this year if I have one of the media guides sitting in front of me. You have to understand that ARCA really only has a few people that update the data for the site during or after the race. It's not some huge operation like NASCAR. Also, back to this race, the 10 was a start and park this week. When they were parking earlier this year I was told the reason they usually give is vibration for that kind of instance. Not sure what it was this week but if anyone's really dying to know I could ask and figure it out. 22.

DC: Dale Shearer - 94 - Terrebonne Homecare Inc. - Dale Shearer - Ford While at the track, Dale ultimately could not race and Meunier slid over to the 94 while James Swanson was pressed into duty for the 0 car. Meunier's DNF was legitimate, blowing the engine just moments before Andy Seuss did the same thing, though Meunier's was thankfully much less dramatic. 26.

This third-place run was technically his "worst" of the season as he finished second at Pocono and won at MIS in his earlier starts. He led all three races. 27. rm posted: 06.22.2020 - 12:04 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Bell's win was the only one all year long by the Venturini Motorsports team, ending a 20-race winless drought for the team stretching back to the fall Salem race the previous year - also won by Bell. While it was far from being a win on pure speed - Bell was in 12th place, 29 seconds back and one car away from going a lap down when leader Michael Self shredded a tire with 8 laps to go - Bell was saved by the late race caution and was able to use the one set of tires they had left on pit road and got the lead on a herculean restart effort. His move was legal at the time, but the rules have since been tightened to prohibit anyone from exactly replicating the jump that he used to win the race. Venturini had a strong season, but struggled with closing out races across all of their teams and with any driver. 11 times the team had drivers lead double-digit laps, and 11 times they came up short of victory lane. On 5 occasions, the penultimate leader of the race was a Venturini car, but this was the only win the team had to show for their efforts in 2017. From there, increased efforts have led to the team winning 25 of the 43 races held beginning with the start of the 2018 season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
