The State of ARCA After 1,501 Races in 68 Years

From Dayton to Daytona, the ARCA Racing Series has continually evolved to fit within a racing ecosystem always much larger than itself over the past seven decades but reaching 1,500 races is effectively an inflection point.
This is not the ARCA that series president Ron Drager inherited in 1996, but that sanctioning body wouldn’t have been recognizable to his grandparents, ARCA founders John and Mildred Marcum either.
ARCA has always existed as a driver development platform while also serving as a de facto track day club and that spirit remains true today three years after its official acquisition by NASCAR.
