E & E Motorsports will be competing a limited schedule in the ARCA RE/MAX series in 2007. Presented
here, is a brief synopsis of the quality features and demographics that this particular series has to offer in respect to
delivering the exposure that is expected from our sponsors.
The Automobile Racing
Club of America (ARCA) was founded in 1953 in Toledo, Ohio. ARCAs founder, John Marcum had raced against and worked as an
official for Bill France, SR., who previously founded the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) in 1949.
The ARCA RE/MAX Series is a part of one of America’s oldest racing organizations and is recognized as among the leading
sanctioning bodies in the country.
The ARCA RE/MAX series is unique in that it tests abilities of drivers and teams on the most
diverse of track conditions including paved, dirt and road courses ranging in size from 1/4 mile to 2.66 miles in length.
The cars are virtually the same cars used to compete in the NASCAR Nextel (formerly Winston) Cup Series. Drivers are also
unique in the series with a typical range from doctors, lawyers and business owners to auto mechanics and enthusiasts seeking
a professional series in which to participate. A given event will field participants from 15 different states and Canada.
In 1964, the series made
their first ever-super speedway appearance with a race event at the famed Daytona International Speedway. The decade of the
1970s was highlighted by Kyle Petty taking checkered flag honors in his racing debut in the 1979 ARCA event at Daytona. By
1983, the series made its national television debut when ESPN broadcast ARCA’s first ever visit to the Pocono International
Speedway.
Throughout the 1980s
and into the 1990s, the ARCA RE/MAX series has enjoyed a period of tremendous growth. In 1999, the series featured 21 events,
which offered a purse of 2.95 million dollars and was attended by nearly three quarters of a million fans. Additionally, television
coverage for 21 of the events was seen by nearly 16-million viewers. Events have been televised in 2000 on ESPN, ESPN2, Fox
Sports Network, Speedvision and TNN.
The ARCA RE/MAX Series will be competing on the same tracks with back-to-back events with NASCAR
Nextel Cup; Daytona International Speedway (Daytona Beach, FL), two dates at Lowe’s Motor Speedway (Charlotte, NC),
Michigan Speedway (Brooklyn, MI), two dates at Pocono International Speedway (Long Pond, PA), Talladega Super speedway (Talladega,
AL), and Atlanta Speedway (Hampton, GA). Two inaugural dates were included in the 2001 schedule at Watkins
Glen and Chicagoland.
