PHOENIX RACEWAY PREVIEW
Azuza Ca. (March 4th, 2026) - The team is fully prepared and ready to head to Phoenix. The General Tire 150 is set to take place at Phoenix Raceway on Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 4 p.m. MT (6 p.m. ET) and will be broadcast on FS1. This event, which combines the ARCA Menards Series and the West Series, features a 150-laps on the 1-mile oval. As the second race of the 2026 season for both series, it promises a thrilling competition among a diverse lineup of national and regional drivers.
Robbie Kennealy is coming off a 15th place finish at Daytona, and he had a solid qualifying performance at Kevin Harvick's Kern Raceway and is eager to rebound after mechanical issues cut his race short on lap 74. As the 2025 Rookie of the Year, he has shown promise at Phoenix, previously finishing in 9th place in 2025. "I’m really excited to head to Phoenix.," Kennealy said. "The last two races in a row here we were the best in the west and I’m looking forward to going to a track we’ve had past success at. We’ve been working nonstop since the second after the kern race, with the heartbreak we had there were all very motivated to hopefully back it up with a solid finish this weekend at what is my favorite track I’ve raced at."
In his first race at Kern, 15-year-old Cole Denton successfully met all his pre-race goals, including finishing on the lead lap and maintaining his car's excellent condition. By prioritizing tire management, he was able to move up steadily from 14th to a respectable 10th place. In this event, Denton, will be making a change from his usual #71 car to the #01. This switch is necessary as the #71 is currently being utilized by a national series team. "I'm super excited as it is the biggest race this season and biggest race of my life, said Denton. "It's going to be a full field of 40 cars and the fastest I've ever been in a race car. I can't believe my second ARCA Race is actually at Phoenix. I'm excited to know though that I will get a second chance on this track again at the end of the season so at least whatever I learn this time around I can use next time."
​
The upcoming race presents an opportunity for both drivers to showcase their skills and improve their standings. With Kennealy's determination to overcome past setbacks and Denton's adaptability, the team is optimistic about their performance in Phoenix.
