MOORESVILLE, North Carolina (January 18, 2010) - It's no secret that racecar drivers use the ARCA Racing Series presented
by RE/MAX and Menards to prepare for fulltime driving careers in NASCAR's top-three touring divisions. But ARCA's roll as
a stepping stone to the highest levels of stock car auto racing extends to race teams as well. The most recent example? Braun
Racing, which will make five NASCAR Sprint Cup Series attempts in 2010 with sponsor Dollar General and driver Reed Sorenson.

CHANDLER, Arizona (January 18, 2010)--Committed,
dedicated, attentive and goal-driven are all actions that one could easily infer about ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX
and Menards standout Joey Coulter. Describing him as ill-prepared however, would not even be close to the truth and he showed
just why this past week. |

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (December 18, 2009) By Jim Pedley--Perhaps the biggest winner out of the saga of "Danica - The NASCAR
Years: Prologue" is the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards. And that alone is cause for a smile.
For mostly professional reasons, I like ARCA. Those
who work there, from series president Ron Drager on down through the public relations staff and track workers, are some of
the hardest working people in racing.
They hustle, they accommodate, they get their hands
dirty, they don't take themselves too seriously. |
MOORESVILLE, North Carolina (January 12, 2010) -ARCA
Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards rookie Sean Corr knows exactly how he spends most days-thinking about Daytona.
However, the Goshen, New York, native is hoping that in less than one month's time the hard work and extensive preparation
he has put into preparing for the February 6 Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 will have paid off with a successful run in the ARCA
portion of Daytona Speedweeks. |
TOLEDO, Ohio (January 12, 2010)-ARCA Racing spoke
for itself in 2009. Close, side-by-side action, heated point battles and last-lap shootouts were the norm from the season-opener
at Daytona to the season finale at Rockingham. But the talented racers who created the most memorable racing events of 2009
often had plenty to say once they climbed out of the cockpits of their racecars. Keep reading for a selection of the
best quotes from the first four races of the 2009 ARCA Racing Series season--Daytona, Salem, Rockingham and Talladega.
