Its looking like ARCA may be a part of Kroger Speedfest that would be great. I do wonder if NASCAR is going a different direction though because they was not even mentioned.
Also I noticed that Raceway Park has also appeared to have parted ways with the ARA Stock car races. It looks like they are trying to do something to keep the series afloat but Raceway Park seems to be going in a different direction when it comes to oval racing. I really hope that this does not mean that oval racing at ORP is going to take a back seat to the drag strip.
This is from the ARA web site. I was not going to post it because I know that most people on here are open wheel fans but this could have an impact on all racing at ORP.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING FUTURE OF ARA
Due to many factors, the owners of ARA regret to announce that we will not be operating the series in 2011. ORP is concerned that our current car/truck count is not enough to justify the use of the track. They are continuing to work with us, but would like a plan for improving attendance both on the track and in the stands. We feel the need to inform you of our decision at this time so that an alternative plan can be formed for the future. ARA would be willing to offer the series to anyone interested taking over. We are planning to attend the meeting tomorrow at the Jameson Inn and will be available to answer questions at that time. The timing of this announcement is made in an attempt to maximize the efficiency of the meeting tomorrow. We hope that all interested parties will attend the meeting to help formulate a plan for moving forward.
