(Redirected from 2020 Sioux Chief Showdown)
Bret Holmes, the 2020 ARCA Menards Series champion
Michael Self finished second behind Holmes in the championship by 12 points.
Hailie Deegan finished third in the championship.

The 2020 ARCA Menards Series season was the 68th season of the ARCA Menards Series. It began on February 8 with the Lucas Oil 200 at Daytona International Speedway and ended on October 16 with the Speediatrics 150 at Kansas Speedway. 2020 was the first season that the series was sanctioned by NASCAR.[1]

Bret Holmes won the drivers championship, his first ARCA title.[2]

When the season was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, drivers from all NASCAR series, including a few ARCA drivers, participated in the inaugural eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series during that time.

Rule changes

[edit]

ARCA adopted the current NASCAR points system after using the 1975-2010 NASCAR points system up until 2019.[40] Additionally, steel-bodied cars were phased out entirely in favor of composite-bodied cars, which also saw the end of Dodge's presence in the series due to a lack of a composite body.[41][42]

Schedule

[edit]

The complete schedule was released on October 10, 2019.[43] That came after a soft reveal of some Sioux Chief Showdown tracks on October 2.[44]
