The 2026 Menards 150 was an ARCA Menards Series race held on Friday, September 25, 2026, at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. Contested over 100 laps on the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) asphalt oval, it was the 20th and final race of the 2026 ARCA Menards Series season, and the 26th running of the event.
In a race that saw major championship implications, Carson Brown, driving for Pinnacle Racing Group, outdueled Gio Ruggiero in the final restart, and after late contact on the final lap, he was able to pull away and earn his fourth career ARCA Menards Series win, and his fourth of the season.[6] Ruggiero dominated the entirety of the race, leading a race-high 84 laps. He ended up with second, while Gavan Boschele finished third. Lanie Buice and Thomas Annunziata rounded out the top five, while Andy Jankowiak, Jason Kitzmiller, Isabella Robusto, Mike Christopher Jr., and Esteban Rodríguez rounded out the top ten.
With a fifth place finish, and an early wreck involving Jake Bollman, Annunziata clinched the 2026 ARCA Menards Series championship in a tiebreaker with Bollman. With his win at Lime Rock Park, Annunziata won the tiebreaker.[7] Both drivers clashed with each other early in the race, which Bollman showed displeasure with Annunziata post-race after getting spun on lap 24.[8] Bollman's championship run came to an end after being in an incident with Will Kimmel and Austin Vaughn, officially credited with a 21st place finish.[9]
