The Pensacola 150 is a 100-mile (160 km) annual ARCA Menards Series East race held at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida.

History

The event has been part of the ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series East (previously the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East) schedules and has come and gone from both throughout its history. It was originally held from 1992 to 1996 in what was then known as the ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series, brought back in 2013 and 2014 as an East Series race, brought back in 2019 as an ARCA Menards Series race, and then moved back to the East Series after NASCAR's acquisition of ARCA.

The race has been the season-opener for the East Series since 2023 when the race at New Smyrna Speedway was removed from the schedule.
