The 2024 NASCAR Bush’s Beans 200 is done and dusted. The 17th race of the 2024 ARCA Menards Series season commenced at 5 pm ET on Thursday, September 19, at Bristol Motor Speedway, with 33 entries.
William Sawalich, driving the #18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, took the checkered flag at Bristol and captured his second career ARCA Menards Series East championship. The 17-year-old driver became ARCA East champion after title rival Connor Zilisch’s day ended in a lap-97 crash.
Sawalich survived late-race restarts and held off Landen Lewis in a green-white-checkered finish. He crossed the finish line by an impressive margin of 0.397 seconds ahead of Lewis to grab the checkered flag. It also marked Sawalich’s eighth national ARCA victory of the season.
Speaking about the win after the race, Sawalich said (via arcaracing.com):
“We had a really fast Starkey-Soundgear Toyota Camry today. I had Tony Hirschman in my ear just to kind of calm me down and make me be cautious around those lap cars. That was definitely the whole race right there.”
Meanwhile, Landen Lewis, finished runner-up, followed by Lavar Scott, Andres Perez, and Dean Thompson in the top five. Tyler Reif, Corey Day, Jake Finch, Lawless Alan, and Andy Jankowiak completed the top 10.
