The 2023 General Tire 150 was the second stock car race of the 2023 ARCA Menards Series season, the first race of the 2023 ARCA Menards Series West season, and the 4th iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, March 10, 2023, in Avondale, Arizona at Phoenix Raceway, a 1-mile (1.6 km) permanent tri-oval shaped asphalt speedway. The race was increased from 150 laps to 160 laps, due to a NASCAR overtime finish. In a wreck-filled race, Tyler Reif, driving for Lowden Jackson Motorsports, scored the upset win after passing Landen Lewis for the lead on the final lap. This was Reif's first career ARCA Menards Series and ARCA Menards Series West win in only his third start.[4] William Sawalich, who started on the pole, dominated the majority of the race, leading 93 laps before getting spun with two laps to go.[5] To fill out the podium, Bradley Erickson, driving for Naake-Klauer Motorsports, would finish in 3rd, respectively.
