In his first part-time start of 2024, Gus Dean scored his 3rd career ARCA Menards Series victory and the 100th for Venturini Motorsports. On Friday night, after a long, overly eventful ARCA season opener, Gus Dean scored the 100th win for Venturini Motorsports

Gus survived the hectic event after starting 24th, deep in the pack. The No. 55 made its way to the front early and, by lap 4, made it to row 2. Coming out of the tri-oval, Gus cleared himself (although he was far from it), coming down on teammate Toni Breidinger, causing a massive pile-up.

Gus survived multiple cautions throughout the race until the final one. His Venturini No. 55 Camry passed teammate Jake Finch on the final restart and led until Finch and others were caught up in a wreck on the backstretch.

41 years after the team’s first win at Flat Rock Speedway with founder Bill Venturini, Gus’s Daytona win extends a record that is unlikely to ever be broken in the sport.
