Michael Simko's ARCA car at Salem Speedway, Indiana

The Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) is an auto racing sanctioning body in the United States founded in 1953 by John Marcum. The current president of ARCA is Ron Drager. ARCA (aka the ARCA RE/MAX Series) races stock cars similar to those seen in NASCAR's Nextel Cup Series, and indeed most cars used in ARCA were previously used in NASCAR. ARCA's competitors contain a mix of both professional racers as well as hobby racers alike, in addition to younger competitors trying to make a name for themselves, sometimes driving as part of a driver development program for a NASCAR team.
