Overview

• Tristan McKee seized the lead on the final restart after Brent Crews slowed with an alternator failure and held off Tyler Reif and Kris Wright to win his first ARCA Menards Series start at Watkins Glen.
• At 15 years and five days old, McKee became the series’ second-youngest winner, trailing only Todd Gilliland’s 2015 victory record.
• Brent Crews had dominated by leading every lap until his late-race equipment issue relegated him to a ninth-place finish.
• Tyler Reif recorded a runner-up result, marking his best ARCA finish since his March 2023 victory at Phoenix, while Glen Reen achieved his first career top-five by finishing fourth.
• The series now shifts to the Allen Crowe 100 at Springfield’s dirt track, where drivers will aim to capitalize on recent momentum and reliability gains.
