Fort Frances driver Steve Arpin captured his first career win in the ARCA Racing Series yesterday, holding off the field at the Kentuckiana Ford Dealers 200 at Salem Speedway.
ARCA’s website said Arpin passed Joey Coulter on Lap 142 and didn’t look back for the rest of the race.
Yesterday’s win also vaulted Arpin into a first-place tie atop the driver standings with Justin Marks.
Both drivers have 635 points through three races.
Arpin’s previous career best was a fourth-place finish at the Pennsylvania ARCA 200 at Pocono Speedway last Aug. 1.
His highest finish this season had been a fifth-place showing at the Tire Kingdom 150 in Palm Beach back on Feb. 27.
