Returning to the ARCA Menards Series with Venturini Motorsports, Patrick Staropoli delivered another strong performance, finishing eighth behind the wheel of his No. 25 Toyota Camry in Friday night’s General Tire 150 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The top-10 run marks Staropoli’s continued consistency across select starts in 2025 and led the Venturini Motorsports stable in a challenging race at the famed North Carolina track.
A Harvard graduate and practicing eye surgeon from Plantation, Florida, Staropoli continues to impress in his limited ARCA schedule. His Charlotte result adds to a 2025 campaign that already includes a career-best fourth-place finish at Rockingham in the ARCA East Series, and eighth at Phoenix, and 11th at Talladega Superspeedway in ARCA’s premier series.
“This has been such a rewarding opportunity to drive for Venturini Motorsports,” said Staropoli. “Balancing medicine and motorsports isn’t easy, but nights like this make it all worth it. I can’t thank this team enough for the fast cars and the support. We’re getting better each time out, and I’m proud of what we’re building together.”
Joining Staropoli at Charlotte were Venturini Motorsports teammates Lawless Alan and Isabella Robusto. Alan, behind the wheel of the No. 20 AutoParkIt Toyota Camry, showed speed early with a 10th-place qualifying run and ultimately finished 13th after battling changing track conditions in the second half of the race.
Robusto, piloting her No. 55 Mobil 1 Toyota, was caught up in an unavoidable incident mid-race that ended her night early. She was credited with 24th despite showing strong pace before the contact.
The race was won by Austin Green, who captured his first career ARCA Menards Series victory in only his second series start, driving a commanding race and holding off late-race challengers for the breakthrough win.
With Charlotte in the rearview, the ARCA Menards Series shifts focus to the wide, high-speed banks of Michigan International Speedway for the Henry Ford Health 200 on Thursday, June 6. Live coverage of the event begins at 6 p.m. ET on FS2.
As the season continues to build momentum, Venturini Motorsports remains a formidable force across the ARCA Menards Series platforms — blending veteran experience with rising young talent in pursuit of victories and championship contention.
