The ARCA Midwest Tour released a 2019 schedule on Wednesday that features 10 stops for the ‘Stars and Cars’ at eight different facilities across Wisconsin and Illinois.
The season will begin with a bang with the $10,000-to-win Joe Shear Classic at Madison International Speedway on May 5.
The most notable addition to the traditional stops on the tour is a return to the Milwaukee Mile on Sunday, June 16. This is the first Stock Car race of any kind at ‘America’s Legendary Oval’ since 2014. Joining the Midwest Tour that weekend will be the Midwest Trucks, Mid-American Stock Cars and Upper Midwest Vintage Series.
