The Automobile Racing Club of America and Toyota officials announced Wednesday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas that the Toyota Camry has been approved for competition in the 2007 ARCA series.
The move broadens Toyota’s base of stock car racing participation, which began with the Goody’s Dash Series in 2000. The auto manufacturer moved up to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2004 and previously announced its plans to participate in the Nextel Cup and Busch Series in 2007.
"We're excited to be welcomed into the ARCA series,” said David Wilson, TRD's group vice president of finance, operations and planning. “ARCA has a rich history and has played a role in developing drivers through the years.”
ARCA, established in 1953, features 3400-pound, steel-bodied stock cars with corresponding auto manufacturer engine and body configuration. Drivers and teams compete for a national championship in a 22 to 24 race tour featuring a diverse mix of race tracks ranging in size from 0.4375 to 2.66 miles in length on paved and dirt surfaces.
“As the ARCA RE/MAX Series has grown and evolved, we’ve worked hard to maintain a sense of the tradition while incorporating cutting-edge opportunities,” said Ron Drager, ARCA president. “A true measure of that balance is reflected in the range of participation of track venues, driver and team participation, marketing partnerships and on-track competition."
