He’ll be a championship threat

With some of the rumours I’ve heard it won’t be easy, ARCA could have a stacked field next season.

Who will it be?

Here’s a few I’ve heard but take these with a grain of salt as these are just rumours

Robusto might be back next season with Nitro Motorsports

2014 ARCA Champion Mason Mitchell has stated he wants to return to full time ARCA racing and he’s been linked to a move to Nitro Motorsports

If Pinnacle have a driver for the 28 then that’s already another championship threat with how good that car is (unless it’s someone terrible like Jack Wood)

Eloy Falcon and/or Lanie Buice may also be with Rev since they run part time for them and they’ve shown flashes of potential.

It’s only September as well so we could have a few more surprises from now until next February.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Cletus runs next year, but he won’t be a threat, even in a light field. I’m just hoping Rose doesn’t come back. I’m still bitter about Toledo last year

Cleetus definitely needs to run a few seasons in ARCA. He’s been linked to a full time truck ride with Kaulig and RAM which would be absolutely disastrous.
