ARCA Menards Series event at Salem Speedway


Stock car racing events in the ARCA Menards Series have been held at Salem Speedway in Salem, Indiana since 1979. The track currently hosts one race for the series, currently known as the Atlas 200, in the fall. The track previously had a second ARCA race from 1996 to 2019 that was held in the spring.

The series did not race at the track from 1980 to 1986. The track held one ARCA race in 1987, two in 1988 and one in 1989. The series did not race at the track again in 1990 and 1991. The track returned to the series' schedule in 1992 and the spring race was added in 1996.

In 2020, the fall race was taken off the schedule and the series was only scheduled to race there in the spring. However, the race was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The track returned to the ARCA schedule in 2021 with one race in the fall.

Frank Kimmel is the only multi-time winner of the spring event, taking four victories. He also won the fall event five times, totaling nine wins at the track. Tim Steele was victorious four times at the track, including winning the fall event three times. Tom Hessert III and Bob Strait are also multi-time winners of the fall event.
