ARCA boosts Nationwide recycling
tool name
close xSo, where do old Nationwide Series cars go when they can't be used any more? The Automobile Racing Club of America series, it looks like.
This week, ARCA approved the use of the chassis with a 105-inch wheelbase currently used in NASCAR's Nationwide and Camping World East and West series for 2010 competition at all tracks except Daytona and Talladega.
The timing coincides with the gradual exit of the 105-inch wheelbase chassis now in use from Nationwide. That chassis will be completely phased out following the 2010 season.
"At the time of the evolution of the NASCAR Sprint Cup COT technology, ARCA team owners represented a market for NASCAR team owners to sell the race cars they were cycling out of inventory," said ARCA President Ron Drager.
"We're positioned to accommodate a similar situation with the NASCAR Nationwide team owners."
