Max Reaves Wins Cook Out City Garage 150 at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway

Max Reaves took the victory in the Cook Out City Garage 150 on Saturday night at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, completing all 150 laps in the ARCA Menards Series East race. Landon S. Huffman finished second, 4.881 seconds back, while Tristan McKee claimed third at 6.627 seconds behind the winner. Hunter Wright and Isaac Kitzmiller completed the top five, crossing the line 9.871 and 11.474 seconds off the lead.

The 150-lap event stretched the field over the second half of the race, with Craig Pellegrini Jr. taking sixth at +17.282. Esteban Rodriguez and Jackson McLerran were each one lap down in seventh and eighth, and Carson Brown finished ninth, two laps down. Behind them, attrition and lost laps became a factor as the race developed, with Ivis Earley, Chase Buscaglia and Dustin Hillenburg credited with 141, 140 and 40 laps completed, respectively. Quinn Davis, Toby Blanton and others also finished multiple laps down.

The published results showed a wide separation through the order by the checkered flag, a sign that track position and long-run pace carried weight over the full distance. While full caution and pit sequence details were not available in the final classification, the finishing gaps indicated that the leaders were able to settle in after the key moments of the race and build advantages as laps wound down.

City Garage Motorsports was listed as the event's home team in the official results. The No. 99 entry for Michael Maples Maples and the No. 03 entry for Jeff Maconi were each credited with 41 laps completed. Brayton Laster was classified 21st after being credited with two laps, underscoring a difficult night deeper in the field as several cars finished well off the lead lap.

With Nashville complete, City Garage Motorsports now turns its attention to Friday, Jul 24, 2026, when it travels to Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park (IRP) for a 6:00 PM EDT start. Later stops on the schedule include Flat Rock Speedway on Aug. 1, Iowa Speedway on Aug. 7 and Bristol Motor Speedway on Sept. 17.
