The General Tire 150 is a 150-mile (240 km) annual ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series West race held at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona.
History
[edit]ARCA's inaugural trip to Phoenix was announced along with the rest of the 2020 series schedule on October 10, 2019.[1] The race is a virtual carryover from the then-NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, which had run at the track at least once annually since 1998.[2] On February 20, 2020, series tire manufacturer General Tire was announced as the race's title sponsor.[3] In 2021, the ARCA Menards Series West joined the ARCA Menards Series in this race, making it a combination race for both series.[4]
