The 2025 Bush's Beans 200 was the 17th stock car race of the 2025 ARCA Menards Series season, the 8th and final race of the 2025 ARCA Menards Series East season, and the 6th iteration of the event. The race was held on Thursday, September 11, 2025, at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee, a 0.553 mile (0.858 km) permanent oval shaped racetrack. The race was contested over 204 laps, extended from 200 laps due to a green-white-checkered finish. Brent Crews, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, was able to pull off a dominating performance, leading every lap from the pole position to earn his sixth career ARCA Menards Series win, his third career ARCA Menards Series East win, and his fifth win of the season. With his win, he clinched the 2025 East Series owner's championship for JGR. ^[5] To fill out the podium, Tristan McKee and Brenden Queen, both driving for Pinnacle Racing Group, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

With an eighth-place finish, Isaac Kitzmiller of ACR Motorsports clinched the 2025 ARCA Menards Series East championship, 17 points ahead of Tyler Reif. This was Kitzmiller's first championship, and the first for his family-owned ACR Motorsports. ^[6]

Report

Background

The Track (left) the Battle at Bristol (center) and the MLB Speedway Classic (right), are all events previously held at Bristol Motor Speedway.

The Bristol Motor Speedway, formerly known as Bristol International Raceway and Bristol Raceway, is a NASCAR short track venue located in Bristol, Tennessee. Constructed in 1960, it held its first NASCAR race on July 30, 1961. Despite its short length, Bristol is among the most popular tracks on the NASCAR schedule because of its distinct features, which include extraordinarily steep banking, an all concrete surface, two pit roads, and stadium-like seating. It has also been named one of the loudest NASCAR tracks.

Besides holding racing events, the track has hosted the Battle at Bristol, a college football game between the Tennessee Volunteers and Virginia Tech Hokies on September 10, 2016 and the MLB Speedway Classic, a MLB baseball game between the Atlanta Braves and the Cincinnati Reds from August 2-3, 2025.
