TOLEDO, Ohio (July 22, 2018) — Officials from Southeastern Mills, Track Enterprises and the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) announced today that Shore Lunch will sponsor ARCA's September 7th event at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis, just west of the city on Crawfordsville Road.
The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards Shore Lunch 200 is scheduled for Friday night, September 7 at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. ARCA practice and General Tire Pole Qualifying will precede the 200-lap feature event, which is scheduled for live broadcast coverage on MAVTV.
Shore Lunch Soups, Breadings and Batters first partnered with ARCA series sponsor Menards in 2016 to become involved with the series through a team sponsorship with rookie driver Myatt Snider. The business-to-business relationship between Menards, the country's third largest home improvement retail chain, and Southeastern Mills, a leading food company with brands such as Better Than Bouillon, The Original Louisiana Hot Sauce and Southeastern Mills Gravy and Baking Mixes, brings opportunities for Southeastern Mills to promote its Shore Lunch Brand products to the Menards customer base.
"We are very excited about our association with the ARCA series and Menards," Southeastern Mills' Vice President of Sales, Ralph Byers said. "They are top-notch organizations whose culture and values mirror those of our own company. The ARCA series platform provides an excellent means for us to reach and connect with our own consumers and provide exciting in-store sales building opportunities for Menards.
Indianapolis area Menards stores are offering local race fans the chance to "Save Big Money" by purchasing advance, discounted race tickets to the Shore Lunch 200. Fans purchasing the advance discounted ticket at any of the more than 20 participating Central Indiana area Menards locations will also receive a pair of free sunglasses at the track.

"We are excited to partner with Southeastern Mills and the Shore Lunch Brand to bring the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards back to Lucas Oil Raceway, and the Indianapolis market," said Jeff Abbott, Promotions Manager and Spokesperson for Menards. "Indianapolis is an important market to Menards, and Lucas Oil Raceway is an iconic short track."
Race promoter Track Enterprises helped bring the ARCA Racing Series to Lucas Oil Raceway in 2011, after a 25-year absence.
"We're excited to promote the ARCA race at Lucas Oil Raceway and to showcase the series to the great race fans in the midwest," said Bob Sargent, President of Track Enterprises.
