Toyota has secured the manufacturer’s championship in the 2025 ARCA Menards Series following the recent races at Kansas Speedway. This achievement marks Toyota’s ninth consecutive and 10th overall title in the series, further establishing its dominance in the ARCA Menards Series Toyota competition.
Strong Performance Throughout the Season Propels Toyota to Victory
This season, Toyota drivers have claimed victory in nine of the 19 races held so far. Notably, Toyota drivers achieved multiple back-to-back wins during three key stretches: first at Phoenix Raceway and Talladega Superspeedway; followed by Berlin Raceway, Elko Speedway, and Lime Rock Park during early summer; and then at Illinois State Fairgrounds and Madison International Speedway in August. These winning streaks demonstrate Toyota’s consistent strength and competitiveness across various tracks.
Leadership and Rising Talent Fuel Toyota’s Success
Brent Crews, a Toyota Development Driver, has led the manufacturer with four race wins this season, securing victories at Phoenix Raceway, Indianapolis Raceway Park, Illinois State Fairgrounds, and Bristol Motor Speedway. Meanwhile, 15-year-old Max Reaves made his ARCA Menards Series debut in 2025, winning twice nationally at Elko Speedway and Madison International Speedway, in addition to three wins in the ARCA Menards Series East.
Additional Toyota wins were earned by Lawless Alan at Talladega Superspeedway, Treyton Lapcevich at Berlin Raceway, and Thomas Annunziata at Lime Rock Park, rounding out Toyota’s impressive tally of victories.
Partnerships and Development Programs Drive Continued Excellence
Toyota supports three teams competing in the ARCA Menards Series: Joe Gibbs Racing, Nitro Motorsports, and Venturini Motorsports. Since entering the ARCA Racing Series in 2007, Toyota has amassed 10 manufacturer championships (2013, 2017–2025) and eight driver championships, showcasing sustained success. Currently, Toyota holds 171 national ARCA Menards Series wins, a testament to its influential presence in the series.
Paul Doleshal, general manager of sponsorships and motorsports at Toyota Motor North America, reflected on the milestone, stating,
“Toyota has experienced countless milestone moments across global motorsports and achieving our 10th manufacturer’s championship in the ARCA Menards Series, and ninth consecutive, is another addition to that list.”
Doleshal also emphasized the value of the ARCA platform for developing new talent:
“The ARCA platform continues to allow us a space to give our talented development drivers an opportunity to grow and develop their race craft. We are fortunate to have incredible partner teams and look forward to celebrating this triumph and another fantastic racing season with each of them.”
