The 2025 General Tire 100 at The Glen was the 13th stock car race of the 2025 ARCA Menards Series season, and the 5th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, August 8, 2025, at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York, a 2.454 mile (3.949 km) permanent road course. The race took the scheduled 41 laps to complete. Tristan McKee, driving for Spire Motorsports, would take advantage of late-race troubles for the dominant Brent Crews, and held off the field in a one-lap shootout to earn his first career ARCA Menards Series win in his first career start. He also became the second-youngest driver to win an ARCA race at 15 years, 0 months, and 5 days. To fill out the podium, Tyler Reif, driving for Sigma Performance Services, and Kris Wright, driving for Venturini Motorsports, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Brent Crews would dominate the entire race, winning the pole and led a race-high 38 laps before experiencing battery issues with three laps to go. He was able to continue the race but fell back to finish ninth, last of the lead lap drivers.

Report Background

Watkins Glen International (nicknamed "The Glen") is an automobile race track located in Watkins Glen, New York at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. It was long known around the world as the home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix, which it hosted for twenty consecutive years (1961–1980), but the site has been home to road racing of nearly every class, including the World Sportscar Championship, Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR Cup Series, the International Motor Sports Association and the IndyCar Series.

Initially, public roads in the village were used for the race course. In 1956 a permanent circuit for the race was built. In 1968 the race was extended to six hours, becoming the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. The circuit's current layout has more or less been the same since 1971, although a chicane was installed at the uphill Esses in 1975 to slow cars through these corners, where there was a fatality during practice at the 1973 United States Grand Prix. The chicane was removed in 1985, but another chicane called the "Inner Loop" was installed in 1992 after J.D. McDuffie's fatal accident during the previous year's NASCAR Winston Cup event.

The circuit is known as the Mecca of North American road racing and is a very popular venue among fans and drivers. The facility is currently owned by International Speedway Corporation.
