The 2025 ARCA Menards Series West 150 presented by the West Coast Stock Car Motorsports Hall of Fame was the 3rd stock car race of the 2025 ARCA Menards Series West season, and the 1st running of the event. The race was held on Saturday, April 5, 2025, at Tucson Speedway in Tucson, Arizona, a 0.375 mile (0.604km) permanent asphalt quad-oval shaped short track. The race took the scheduled 150 laps to complete. In an action-packed race with a thrilling finish, Tanner Reif, driving for Central Coast Racing, would hold off Jake Bollman and Eric Johnson Jr. in a close finish to earn his third career ARCA Menards Series West win, and his first of the season.[5] Reif's teammate Todd Souza took the lead early in the race due to tire-saving strategies, and ended up leading a race-high 53 laps before falling back on the final restart and finishing 8th.
Tucson Speedway is a 0.375mi (0.604km) paved oval racetrack located at the Pima County Fairgrounds, off Interstate 10 just south of Tucson, Arizona. It is one of only three paved ovals in the state of Arizona (the others are Phoenix Raceway and Havasu 95 Speedway).
The track was built in 1967 as the Corona Speedway. The original track layout was a dirt/clay half mile oval, with an infield quarter mile track that connected via the frontstraightaway.[6] Bob Frakes would take over as the operator until passing the torch to Calvin Renard in 1983. The track would close in the winter of 1983 before B.O.P. Incorporated would take the lease and operate the track until 1986.
In 1987, dirt racer Dan Manes and his wife Linda would take over the track, reconfiguring it into a 0.375mi (0.604km) oval and renaming the facility "Raven Raceway".
In 1990, a subsidiary of International Speedway Corporation, Great Western Sports, would purchase the lease and take over from the Manes family, also renaming the track for a second time as "Tucson Raceway Park".
