Isabella Robusto made her ARCA Menards Series debut on Friday, March 8th at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Arizona.<\/h3>\n

Her start came in the General Tire 150<\/a> driving the No. 55 entry for Venturini Motorsports. Robusto was intended to make her ARCA debut last year, but a last-lap crash<\/a> while battling for the lead in a CARS Pro Late Model race at Hickory Motor Speedway resulted in a concussion. In turn, her plans for a Series start were scrapped and her racing career was put on halt.<\/p>\n

Robusto knocked off the rust with select starts throughout the second half of 2023. In <\/span>December<\/a>, Lee Pulliam Performance announced her signing for most of this year’s Late Model Stock schedule. Additionally, Robusto confirmed an extended partnership with Toyota Racing as a member of their Driver Development Program. Her re-signing opened the door for a second chance in the ARCA Menards Series.<\/span><\/p>\n
