The 2019 General Tire 150 was the seventh stock car race of the 2019 ARCA Menards Series season, and the 2nd iteration of the event. The race was held on Thursday, May 23, 2019, in Concord, North Carolina, at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a 1.5 mile (2.4 km) permanent tri-oval shaped racetrack. The race was originally scheduled to be contested over 100 laps, but was increased to 109 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. Ty Majeski, driving for Chad Bryant Racing, would survive two overtime restarts, and hold off a charging Sheldon Creed to earn his first career ARCA Menards Series win.[4] Michael Self dominated the entirety of the race, leading a race-high 91 laps. To fill out the podium, Creed, driving for GMS Racing, and Gus Dean, driving for Win-Tron Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Background

[edit]

Charlotte Motor Speedway (previously known as Lowe's Motor Speedway from 1999 to 2009) is a motorsport complex located in Concord, North Carolina, 13-mile (21 km) outside Charlotte. The complex features a 1.500 mi (2.414 km) quad oval track that hosts NASCAR racing including the prestigious Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend, and the Bank of America Roval 400. The speedway was built in 1959 by Bruton Smith and is considered the home track for NASCAR with many race teams located in the Charlotte area. The track is owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports with Greg Walter as track president.

The 2,000 acres (8.1 km2) complex also features a state-of-the-art 0.250 mi (0.402 km) drag racing strip, ZMAX Dragway. It is the only all-concrete, four-lane drag strip in the United States and hosts NHRA events. Alongside the drag strip is a state-of-the-art clay oval that hosts dirt racing including the World of Outlaws finals among other popular racing events.
