2023 ARCA Menards Series Dawn 150 at Kansas - Race Highlights

Jesse Love and Taylor Gray entertained the crowd with a thrilling battle that saw the two drivers exchange the lead for most of the afternoon. Love ultimately emerged victorious over Gray and teammate Dean Thompson for his second straight ARCA Menards Series victory and Venturini Motorsports’ fifth across the ARCA platform in 2023.
Love was determined to hold onto his car until the checkered flag to ensure Venturini Motorsports could achieve redemption from last year’s Dawn 150.
By the time the race reached its closing stages, Love’s most pressing competition came in the form of Thompson, as Gray had bounced off the wall while trying to chase the Venturini teammates down following a bad restart.

With Love managing to fend off one last charge from Thompson on the final lap, he now has four ARCA Menards Series victories during his career.
Love expressed confidence in the ability of himself and Venturini to keep adding to that total as the 2023 season progresses, adding the relentless dedication of everyone at the shop is the primary reason why he and so many others have found success with the organization.

Taylor Gray settled for third with Connor Mosack and Jack Wood following him in the final running order. Andres Perez de Lara, Cody Coughlin, Frankie Muniz, Christian Rose and Greg Van Alst completed the top-10.

The ARCA Menards Series takes a few weeks off before heading to Charlotte Motor Speedway for Memorial Day weekend for the General Tire 150 on May 26. The green flag will wave at 6 p.m. ET with FS1 providing the coverage.
