When KLAS Motorsports put together their proposed limited schedule of ARCA Menards Series races for the 2026 season, this week’s event at Toledo Speedway (OH) was not on it.
The team planned to focus on intermediate tracks, a road course and the superspeedways. Then came a victory in the Alabama Manufactured Housing 200 at Talladega Superspeedway (AL) late last month.
Toledo was added as a bonus race as Jankowiak found himself in the thick of the driver’s point battle. He is currently third in the standings just 11 markers back from the lead.
“Toledo is our first bonus race added after the win,” said Jankowiak. “We are keeping our points conversation alive! We have sponsorship spots open for the races that we just added at Toledo, Pocono and Michigan. If we can lock those down, we are hopeful that we can add more races and possibly contend for a championship.”
Jankowiak has competed twice in his career at Toledo Speedway. In 2022, he finished 11th there as an owner/driver. In 2023, he drove for the KLAS Motorports team there in the team’s inaugural season. He qualified fifth and finished seventh in that race.
Currently, the team does not have a primary sponsor for the Toledo race. The team is looking for marketing partners to add to their program and their schedule this year.
Several loyal associate sponsors are fueling the #71 team. That roster includes Dak’s Markets, Acacia Energy, Automotive Consultants of Ithaca, Florida Safety Systems, Yukon Creek, Rotti Transport, Whelen Engineering and Schultz Engineered Products.
The ARCA Menards Series visits Toledo Speedway (OH) on Saturday, May 16th for the Owens Corning 200. That event will be televised live on the Fox Sports 1 television network starting at 7pm ET.
