CONCORD, N.C.: After setting the fastest lap in preseason ARCA Menards Series practice at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway last weekend, Nitro Motorsports confirmed that three-time ARCA race winner Gus Dean will join the organization for the 2026 season-opening General Tire 200 at the “World Center of Racing” on February 14.
Dean, a Bluffton, S.C., native, will return to the ARCA Menards Series for the first time since Michigan International Speedway in 2024 and will look to extend his streak of Daytona International Speedway victories after capturing an emotional win in February 2024.
