The Berlin ARCA 200 is an ARCA Menards Series race held at Berlin Raceway. Treyten Lapcevich is the defending race winner.

History

The MARC Racing Series (now known as the ARCA Menards Series) ran its inaugural race at the track in 1958. [1] In 1958 and 1959, ARCA ran two annual races at the track. However, in 1960, only one race was held at the track. After being left off the ARCA schedule in 1961, the track was brought back in 1962. In the next eleven years, the ARCA series only ran at the track four times. After 1973, the track was again left off the ARCA schedule for twelve years.

ARCA finally returned to the track in 1986. However, the return was short-lived, as it was then taken off the schedule for another dozen years. In 1999, it was added back to the series schedule and remained on it each year until 2017, when it was taken off the ARCA schedule in exchange for a NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (now known as ARCA Menards Series East) race. ARCA brought the track back again in 2018, though it was left off of the series schedule for the next two years. Once more, in 2021, the series returned to the track.

The Stars & Stripes 150 was a onetime ARCA Menards Series East event held at Berlin Raceway. Todd Gilliland is the lone winner of the event.

History

In 2017, the main ARCA race at the track was removed off the schedule for an East Series race at the track. Todd Gilliland won the only East Series race at the track. [2] After one year on the East Series schedule, the race was moved back to the ARCA schedule in 2018 but taken off again in 2019.

A second East Series race was scheduled for July 25, 2020, but cancelled and replaced by a race at Toledo Speedway due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [3] The race was moved back to the main ARCA Series schedule again in 2021.
