My hope (which is optimistic) is that they make a clear path similar to MRTI: K&N -> ARCA -> Trucks -> NXS -> Cup.

But this is NASCAR so they're going to gently caress it up somehow.

There has to be somebody in the big glass building in Daytona who thinks this is wise because it's eliminating a competitor.

The ARCA Racing Series will continue to operate under its current structure through the 2019 season. This year’s schedule of 20 races includes nine events at NASCAR national series venues, and three others at NASCAR Whelen All-American Series tracks – illustrating the bond between the two sanctioning bodies.

Fun fact: ARCA was throwing boredom cautions long before NASCAR did it. The race director would stand by the flagstand and, if he dropped his hat, the caution came out.

When I was like 10 I had the "great" idea of combining ARCA and the Busch Series into one series. I don't know why, but it sounded cool to 10 year old me and it might as well happen now.

New ARCA rule changes:

Cars are made of Legos, pit crews are Ninja Turtles, and penalties are doled out directly on the track by the Batmobile.

Will a 1993 Camry do? It also has brand synergy.

First they came for the moonshine, and I did not speak out - Because I enjoy white liquor.
Then they came for Daytona, and I did not speak out - Because Florida would be best off at the bottom of the ocean.
Then they came for the Winstons, and I did not speak out - Because I smoked Marlboros.
Then they came for Dale, and I did not speak out - Because only a pussy cries at funerals.
Then they came for home improvement and I complained a lot - Because only a pissant actually enjoyed Jimmie Johnson being good.
Then they came for ARCA - And there was no one left to speak for stock car racing.

NASCAR probably bought ARCA because it’s illegal for an ARCA race to be unentertaining. Jesus Christ, what a finish.

The crew must've gotten a deal on bulk surplus Roush-Fenway firesuits.

That, or those are RFR guys pitting the 41, but I don't know if that'd fly on a Toyota.

If you could just beat it into these guys heads... hold your line. All the retards going three/four/five/all over behind them.

I really hope that NASCAR doesn't gently caress up ARCA any worse than ARCA already has. It's awful and retarded and hilarious but it's the last great big stage thing we've got left now that Trucks suck nuts.

It was a good finish.

TBH though, Nascar probably should look into doing Driver Only races more often. Using some rookie drivers, it puts their face and voices in front of the fans that would otherwise not know who they are.
