ARCA schedule will be released this week. I'll have it on RacingForTheWin.com and I'll post it here once it is.
2 in Indiana and 3 in Illinois. But you are right they do have a lot in that area. I'd rather see them add a different track out there than repeat another track. I don't think they should repeat any with only 21 races. There are too many good tracks to be doing multiple races at one track IMO.
Come on, there is no denying that Daytona is the biggest ARCA race. It runs the same day as the NASCAR Budweiser shootout, it gets 60+ cars attempting to qualify(Rockingham only had 50 cars show up and there were a lot of field fillers).Rockingham is ARCA's new big dance. 500 kilometers, 312 miles, 50 cars. That sounds like a spectacle in American motorsport to me.
Daytona used to be won by the same driver every year.
The race was too long. And as far as the field getting lapped; that's what happens when a Joe Gibbs Cup car comes to the track with "Sliced Bread" driving.
He would have lapped most of the good cars if it had been shorter anyway.
I didn't watch Rockingham or Iowa on tv because I was there. Iowa wasn't great but at least there were a few different cars that were in contention during the race.
Yeah it was, although so was Toledo.
The field didn't get lapped at any of the other non restrictor plate tracks.
and that was an RP race.
I think it was more the good car than the driver. He didn't do so well in the 96 cup car.Sliced Bread only ran one other race
I do know that, they also race at Salem twice. I'd rather see them put one of the Toledo races at Lake Erie, one of the Salem races at Winchester, not sure about KY though. Too few races to be going to so many tracks twice.
Were you at New Jersey this year?
It's shame they are tearing it down, one of the nicest short tracks i've been to.RIP USA Internatonal Speedway
Yes
I can't wait until they finish it. I loved that track. They need to widen it out a little bit though, and reconfigure turn 2.
I'm putting in for credentials for the Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series race once I get the 2009 ARCA schedule final copy. I pretty much know when they're racing there but I'm waiting on it. I'll also be putting in for Rockingham which should be a non-issue as well. Get everything done at once.

I liked having one long ARCA race in the Carolina 500. They could've at least done 250 miles.
Unfortunately, at some of the big tracks, the Cope Twins (for example) cause too many cautions and the race has 30 laps left by the time they're done their wreckfests.

Weren't those two barbie dolls and their 6+ wrecks the most pathetic excuses ever? Doesn't it seem weird to see two girls who look like strippers climb in to the driver's seat? Didn't you think they were strippers when you first saw them? If I book my next vacation with "Sundance Vacations," do I have to choose between one or do I get both?
I don't know if running the ARCA trucks at Rockingham would be a good idea.
New Jersey was good, it was a shame it got ended because of rain though. Andy Lally had that thing won IMO. It would be cool if they would get rain tires for that race like the Canadian Tire Series did at Mosport and Nationwide series did at Circuit Gilles Vilenueve this year.
