I like it too. Just a shame that it'll be torn up and covered with duct tape within a few laps.

The first entries for Daytona have already been posted on arcaracing.com. I have never seen them post an entry list this early before. The entry list will be updated as more entries are filed.

35 4 Nur Ali 51.022 176.394 Dodge

That doesn't surprise me one bit, considering he turned up at the season finale at Toledo, was 2.4 seconds off pole on a half-mile short track (and qualified slowest), got in on a provisional, ran 1 lap and parked it.

RE/MAX To End ARCA Series Title Sponsorship After 2009
TOLEDO, OH (1-14-09)--Officials from the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) and RE/MAX International announced today in a joint statement that the real estate industry leader would end its series title sponsorship of ARCA following the 2009 season.

Well, that sucks. Hope they won't end up in the same boat as the USAR by then.

I'm surprised Re/Max stuck it out this long, as bad as the real estate business has been. Someone will pick up ARCA, probably from the likes of Lucas Oil

Camping World IMO.

Well, why not, seeing something that doesn't involve the automotive industry somehow belongs in the world of motorsports.

Clearly Re/MAX Europe aren't doing too bad because they're sponsoring Toyota's F1 team now

We can only hope that we see the return of this:

For those interested, a bunch of photos from ARCA testing via Motorsport.com:

With Ask.com getting into the sport...I'm thinking the ARCA Google Series

But Sam, I put Busch beer in my car's engine all the time!

Beer may not be car-related, but it sure is redneck-related!

I saw that Menard's is going to be sponsoring Frank Kimmel this year.

Good to see Frank get a sponsor

Did not see that coming.

The ARCA Fords will race the old Fusion look, or the new one?
