CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series Points Leader Helio Meza Making ARCA Menards Series West Debut

CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series Driver's Championship leader Helio Meza will make his ARCA Menards Series West debut on Friday, October 2, competing in the Kyle Busch Classic at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Meza is entered in the No. 28 Chevrolet for Pinnacle Group Racing in Friday's race. The event is part of the NASCAR weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, culminating in the South Point 400 on Sunday, October 4.

The Texas native has eight wins in 11 CUBE 3 Architecture TA2 Series races so far in 2026. Meza won the first four races of the year at Sebring International Raceway, Road Atlanta and a doubleheader sweep at Sonoma Raceway. He then added a victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the first race of a doubleheader at Watkins Glen International, and has won the last two TA2 races at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and VIRginia International Raceway.

Meza holds a five-point advantage over TeamSLR teammate Alon Day with one race remaining on the TA2 calendar, scheduled for November 5-8 at Circuit of The Americas.

The TA2 champion will be paired with another championship organization, Pinnacle Racing Group, for the ARCA Menards Series West event. Tristan McKee, the 2025 CUBE 3 TA2 Series champion, earned this year's ARCA Menards Series East title driving for PRG. The team also won the 2025 ARCA Menards Series championship with Brenden Queen.

While Meza has enjoyed immense success in Trans Am, he has also been honing his craft on the ovals. He won two Paramount Kia Big 10 Challenge races at Hickory Motor Speedway, and had made three zMAX CARS Tour Late Model Stock Car starts.

This year's ARCA Menards Series West event at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will carry extra significance. The race was renamed the Kyle Busch Classic presented by Star Nursery in the honor and memory of two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, who passed away in May. Busch honed his skills at The Bullring before climbing the racing ladder.

The Bullring is a 3/8-mile paved oval located next to the 1.5-mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway along Las Vegas Boulevard. The venue has hosted 13 prior events for ARCA Menards Series West.

Tickets to the Kyle Busch Classic presented by Star Nursery can be purchased here. The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. PT on Friday, October 2.
