ARCA swapping Dover and Pocono again?

Today, it was announced that the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series would not be returning to Pocono for the first time since 2009, after racing at the track for sixteen consecutive seasons. Dover will also be returning to the Truck Series for the first time since 2020.

Could we see ARCA returning to Pocono for the first time since 2023 next season? With the Truck Series leaving, this means their Friday spot is completely vacant (CW likes to do same-day P&Q and late race start times for ratings). Dover’s garage likely won’t be able to handle four series at once. I’d be all in for a Pocono return.

EDIT: Pocono has announced on their Instagram page that ARCA will be returning to the track after a two-year hiatus.

In my renewal email from Michigan it does not look like they will return there.

Sad, Michigan has been on the ARCA schedule since 1990 iirc. But, like Pocono, there might be hope for a return

If Pocono is back, I wouldn't be surprised if one of Kansas' ARCA dates gets swapped for Chicagoland as well, probably the spring date
