NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular Paul Menard enjoyed some extracurricular racing Sunday, competing in the ARCA Re/Max Series Menards 200 at Toledo Speedway. And Menard found himself having an interesting experience in the race.

A day after driving his Yates Racing No. 98 in the Sprint Showdown a Lowe's Motor Speedway, Menard debuted at Toledo Speedway in the ARCA event. He ran among the leaders for most of the day and finished fourth, though in unusual fashion. Menard was tagged nearing the finish line and slid across the finish line backward after getting a tap from Patrick Sheltra coming off Turn 4.

"That was interesting," Menard said, according to a news release. "I guess [Sheltra] was mad at me for what happened earlier, so that kind of soured the end of the day. Still, it was a pretty good day considering I had never raced a lap at Toledo. I'd definitely jump at the chance to race here again."

Race winner Parker Kligerman offered a NASCAR tie to his victory
as well. Kligerman, a Penske Racing development driver, survived several late-race restarts to gain the win.

After the race, he gave a nod to Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch.

"If you watched last night in the all-star race, Kyle Busch, one of the best restarters probably in his business - we just mimicked what he did, you know, we just played the game," he said in a news release. "You make everyone else play your game, you don't play their game when you're the leader."
