The ARCA Menards Series is a semi-professional American stock car racing series, serving as a key feeder for NASCAR's national divisions while also offering opportunities for hobby drivers. Founded in 1953 by John Marcum as the Midwest Association for Race Cars (MARC), it quickly forged a close relationship with NASCAR, changing its name to ARCA in 1964 and becoming part of Daytona Speedweeks.

The series utilizes a variety of track types, including superspeedways, road courses, and dirt tracks, and has been instrumental in developing future NASCAR stars like Kyle Busch, with drivers as young as 15 able to compete on short tracks. After a long informal partnership, NASCAR officially acquired the series on April 27, 2018, with the 2020 season marking its first under NASCAR's full sanctioning. Over the years, the series has been known by various sponsored names, prominently the ARCA RE/MAX Series, and has been presented by Menards as its primary sponsor since 2011.
