Overview
- Hailie Deegan was credited with the victory when officials called the NAPA Auto Parts 150 official at lap 42 on Nov. 1, 2026, after prolonged wet conditions prevented the race from resuming.
- Trevor Huddleston clinched the 2026 ARCA Menards West championship and completed a consecutive-title defense by taking the green earlier in the abbreviated event.
- Series officials cited rule 9-13-2.C and consulted with Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway and broadcast partners before declaring the race official because multiple restart attempts and a long weather delay made finishing the advertised distance impractical.
- The weekend produced a milestone for female drivers: Mia Lovell won pole with an 18.466-second lap, Deegan started alongside her, and the two finished first and second for the first all-female 1-2 result in ARCA West history.
- Early on-track incidents helped trigger cautions — Eric Johnson Jr. spun on lap 22 and Sam Corry spun on lap 33 — and next steps include the NASCAR regional awards banquet in Charlotte on Nov. 20 and the forthcoming 2027 West Series schedule release.
