Sioux Chief Showdown Preview: Calypso Lemonade 200 at Lucas Oil Raceway The Calypso Lemonade 200 at the Indianapolis-area Lucas Oil Raceway will mark the long-awaited second race of the for the 2020 ARCA Menards Series Sioux Chief Showdown. The Showdown, a revamped and reloaded version of the “Short Track Challenge” of years past, is open to teams from the ARCA Menards Series East & West as well and now featuring an increased overall payout with nearly $1 million in race purses, point fund money, and bonus programs available over the ten-race series-within-a-series. The Sioux Chief Showdown is scheduled to consist of ten races at a variety of tracks, ranging from the tight three-eighths mile bullring of Elko Speedway to the mile and a quarter WWT Raceway at Gateway to the road courses at Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen. The Showdown champion is scheduled to be crowned at Memphis International Raceway on Saturday, September 26, 2020. The Sioux Chief Showdown will bring together the best of the best from the ARCA Menards Series, the ARCA Menards Series East and ARCA Menards Series West (formerly known as the NASCAR K&N Pro Series). These ten events offer drivers who may not be able or eligible to run the full 20-race ARCA Menards Series schedule the opportunity to run for a title. Combined with the overall ARCA Menards Series crown as well as the ARCA Menards East and ARCA Menards West championships, drivers will have four unique titles to compete for in 2020. Formerly known as the Sioux Chief Short Track Challenge, an expanded partnership with Sioux Chief will increase the event purse and point fund significantly, as well as add prestige and a variety of venues to the in-season championship.
