Race recap
Max Reaves led 98 of 100 laps from the pole to win the Calypso 100 at Illinois State Fairgrounds. Isaac Kitzmiller finished second after starting 13th, while Thomas Annunziata completed the podium in third. Reaves earned 49 points for the victory, with Annunziata scoring 91 points and Jake Bollman 88. The race saw only 24 entries, with several mechanical failures and a crash for Trenton Masters. Reaves now has three wins in nine starts this season.
Reaves converted the pole into immediate control, leading 98 of 100 laps. The only laps he did not lead were split between Isaac Kitzmiller and Gavan Boschele, each credited with one lap led. That near-total command left no statistical opening for the field.
The win is Reaves' third in nine starts, reinforcing his strength on short tracks. His 365 points place him 12th in the current standings, 346 behind the leader, but the victory adds momentum as the ARCA Menards Series continues its 2026 campaign.
