Changes[edit source | edit]

Teams[edit source | edit]

  • Bill McAnally Racing announced that they would be fielding four full-time teams in 2020 (up from three in 2019), with their No. 50 Toyota, previously a part-time car, running full-time in 2020 along with the Nos. 16, 19, and 99. However, on January 31, 2020, they announced a fifth full-time car, the No. 12, for Lawless Alan, who drove the same car part-time last season. This brings BMR up to five full-time teams for five rookie drivers.
  • Venturini Motorsports will field a West Series team for the first time in 2020, with Corey Heim driving a car for them at Sonoma and the season-finale at Phoenix (as well as three races in the ARCA East Series and two in the big ARCA Menards Series).[5]

Drivers[edit source | edit]

  • On January 14, 2020, Bill McAnally Racing announced their 2020 driver lineup, with all four of their drivers new to the team and running for rookie of the year.[2]
    • Giovanni Scelzi replaces 2019 champion Derek Kraus in the No. 16, who moves to the Truck Series full-time with the team.
    • Jesse Love replaces Hailie Deegan in the No. 19, who left BMR and Toyota's driver development program to compete in the 20-race ARCA Menards Series with DGR-Crosley as well as join Ford's driver development program.
    • Holley Hollan will drive the No. 50 full-time, which was run part-time in 2019.
    • Gracie Trotter will drive the No. 99, replacing Brittney Zamora, who started the 2020 season without a ride.
  • On January 16, 2020, Corey Heim was announced as the driver of Venturini Motorsports' new part-time ARCA West Series team.[5]
  • On January 29, 2020, it was announced that Blaine Perkins would be driving full-time for Sunrise Ford Racing in 2020, replacing 2019 rookie of the year and 2nd-place points finisher Jagger Jones as a driver on that team. Perkins was without a ride in any NASCAR or ARCA Series in 2019, and drove full-time for two years (2016 and 2017) in the West Series for Steve Portenga's team before running part-time in the ARCA Menards Series in 2018 for Mason Mitchell's team. Perkins will drive the No. 9, replacing Trevor Huddleston, who moves from the No. 9 to the No. 6 which was Jones' car in 2019.
  • On January 31, 2020, it was announced that Lawless Alan, who drove the No. 12 part-time for Bill McAnally Racing last year, would run full-time in the same car this season in addition to the other four drivers the team announced two weeks prior.
  • On March 16, 2020, Brittney Zamora, who lost her ride in the McAnally No. 99 to Trotter, tweeted that she would be attempting the race at Irwindale in the No. 42 Ford for Jefferson Pitts Racing.

Schedule[edit source | edit]

On January 6, 2020, NASCAR released the schedule for the 2020 season.[6] As part of the unification of the East and West series with the ARCA Menards Series, the schedule decreased from fourteen races in 2019 to eleven races in 2020. The number of races was originally ten, however, an additional race at Utah Motorsports Campus was announced on March 3, 2020.[7]

As part of the unification of the East and West series with the ARCA Menards Series, the West will participate in the Sioux Chief Showdown, a ten-race series within the main ARCA series featuring drivers from each of the three branches.[8]

In terms of TV, NBC will continue to broadcast the West Series schedule on tape delay as they have in the past.[9]
