Oregon, Wis.– Venturini Motorsports returned to Madison International Speedway on Friday night for the Badger 200, marking a homecoming of sorts for the storied ARCA Menards Series team. With roots in nearby Chicago, the team was greeted by a large contingent of family, friends, and longtime supporters who made the short drive to cheer on what could be one of the final appearances for Venturini Motorsports at the track following the announced sale of the organization earlier this year.
The team fielded three entries in Friday night’s 200-lap event. Leading the way was Isabella Robusto, who continued her strong 2025 campaign by driving the No. 55 Mobil 1 Toyota to a fourth-place finish. The effort marked her sixth top-five of the season, keeping her firmly inside the top five in championship point standings.
Mason Mitchell, piloting the No. 25 Detour Sunglasses Toyota, brought home a seventh-place finish in his limited schedule with the team. Mitchell will return to the driver’s seat for Venturini Motorsports in two more events this year at Salem Speedway and Kansas Speedway.
Lawless Alan, behind the wheel of the No. 20 AUTOparkit Toyota, showed early speed before being collected in an accident while maneuvering through lapped traffic. Despite quick repairs by the Venturini crew, Alan was relegated to an 18th-place result.
In addition, Julian DaCosta—driving a Nitro Motorsports entry prepared by Venturini Motorsports—finished a solid fifth, giving the organization two cars inside the top five.
While the night ultimately belonged to Joe Gibbs Racing’s Max Reaves, who dominated from the pole to secure his second national ARCA Menards Series victory, the spotlight in Madison was just as much on Venturini Motorsports and the passionate fan support they enjoyed.
“This place is special to us,” said team co-owner Billy Venturini. “To see so many family members and longtime supporters from Chicago make the trip up here means the world. Our drivers fought hard tonight, and to have Isabella, Julian, and Mason all finish inside the top 10 made it a strong night overall for our program.”
With its long history of success in ARCA competition, Venturini Motorsports continues to showcase talent and resilience during a transitional season. The team now shifts its focus to the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds, where the ARCA Menards Series will contest its final dirt race of the year next Sunday evening.The race will be aired live on FS1 at 7:30PM CST.
