Mooresville, NC – (June 4, 2026) —Nitro Motorsports driver Isabella Robusto heads to Michigan International Speedway this weekend for the ARCA Menards Series Henry Ford Health 200 carrying the same determination that has defined her 2026 season. Despite facing some early season challenges and setbacks through the opening six races, Robusto has remained a consistent contender, recording three top-10 finishes, one top-five result, and currently sits sixth in the championship standings entering Race 7 of the season.
The seventh race of the ARCA Menards Series season takes competitors to the high-banked, two-mile Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. The Henry Ford Health 200 will be contested over 100 laps (200 miles) and serves as the opening event of NASCAR’s race weekend in the Irish Hills.
Robusto enters the weekend sixth in the ARCA Menards Series championship standings. With just 14 races left in the season, Robusto and her team are focused on results and positioning her as contingent for the best possible outcome, a championship season.
Most recently at Toledo Speedway, Robusto delivered one of the strongest drives of her season. Following a pre-race engine change that forced the No. 55 Nitro Motorsports Toyota team to start at the rear of the field, she methodically worked her way through traffic to secure a sixth-place finish and valuable championship points.
That determination has become a defining characteristic of Robusto's 2026 campaign.
"This season has tested us in a lot of ways, but it has also shown what our team is capable of," said Robusto. "Every challenge has been an opportunity to learn, adapt, and keep moving forward. Toledo was a great example of that. We started at the back after an engine change and never stopped fighting. That's the mindset we're taking into Michigan."
Michigan International Speedway presents a unique challenge as one of the fastest tracks on the ARCA Menards Series schedule. The two-mile oval rewards horsepower, aerodynamic efficiency, and driver confidence as competitors routinely exceed 190 mph on the long straightaways.
For Robusto, the weekend represents another opportunity to gain ground in the championship standings and continue showcasing the resilience that has defined her season.
“Michigan is a place where momentum matters, and we're looking forward to the challenge,” Robusto added. “We've learned a lot through the first six races, and I believe our best runs are still ahead of us. The goal is to put together a complete race, maximize points, and keep moving forward.”
Friday will play host to practice at 2:00 pm ET, qualifying at 3:15 pm, and the green flag waving at 5:00 pm. The race will air live on FS2 with additional coverage on MRN / SiriusXM Radio.
