TOLEDO, Ohio – Rust-Oleum, Track Enterprises and the Automobile Racing Club of America have announced that the SmartCoat brand of Zinsser Paint will sponsor the newly-announced ARCA Menards Series event at Lebanon I-44 Speedway in Missouri.
The race has been relocated from its original location and date at Madison Int’l Speedway.
The Zinsser SmartCoat 200 is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 5 at 9 pm ET. ARCA practice and General Tire Pole Qualifying will precede the 200-lap feature event.
The race is set for a live flag-to-flag broadcast on MAVTV and will be streamed live on TrackPass on NBC Sports Gold.
“We’re excited and honored to sponsor this exciting day of racing,” said Don Muench, Senior Vice President of Sales, at Rust-Oleum. “What a great way to celebrate our longstanding and valuable partnership with Menards. We wish all the drivers good luck!”
The Zinsser SmartCoat 200 will be the 14th race of the 2020 ARCA Menards Series schedule. In addition, the event will mark the eighth round of the Sioux Chief Showdown, ARCA’s short-track super series which brings drivers and teams from the ARCA Menards Series East and West together with AMS series regulars in a 10-race series within a series.
Central Missouri area Menards stores will offer local race fans the chance to save money by purchasing advance, discounted race tickets to the Zinsser SmartCoat 200 beginning on Monday, Aug. 24.
