The 2025 NASCAR ARCA Menards Series West 150 was finally done and dusted. The third race of the 2025 ARCA Menards Series West season commenced at 7 pm ET on Saturday (April 5) at Tucson Speedway, with 13 entries.
Tanner Reif, driving the #13 Toyota Camry for Central Coast Racing, won his first ARCA Menards Series West race of the season in a last-lap three-wide pass at Tucson. The victory ended his nearly three-year-long winless streak, which dates back to Evergreen Speedway in 2022.
Reif emerged victorious when he saved his tires perfectly to grab the lead on the white flag from Jake Bollman and then held off Eric Johnson Jr. in a hard-fought battle in the final set of turns to cross the finish line in P1.
The 19-year-old Las Vegas, Nevada, native crossed the finish line by a margin of 0.189 seconds ahead of Johnson Jr. to grab the checkered flag. It marked his third career victory in the ARCA Menards Series West.
Reflecting on his first win of the 2025 season and thrilling last-lap battle, Reif said in victory lane (via arcaracing.com):
“Everything was perfect. I had to work so hard for it, but this team, Central Coast Cabinets Racing, did such a good job setting this thing up. I was crying in the car. I had to compose myself. I said, ‘I’m going to ride as slow as anybody can go, and when it’s time to go, I’m going to have a car better than anybody out there,’”
Meanwhile, Eric Johnson Jr. finished runner-up, followed by Jake Bollman, Kyle Keller, and season-opener winner Trevor Huddleston to complete the top five. Caleb Shrader, Robbie Kennealy, Todd Souza, Blake Lothian, and Cody Dennison completed the top 10.
