Half size cars, running on aluminum racetracks, inside an arena? Who in there right mind would think that would work? How about NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs, or maybe Tony Stewart, or Denny Hamlin, J.J. Yeley, or maybe Norm Miller of Interstate Batteries. How about cars turning 10 second laps at 50 mph - indoors. It sounds crazy enough to be a blast to watch. Especially if your stuck in the frozen North with nothing to do but ride snowmobiles.
- Stock Car Racing Magazine has an article all about it that you have to read.
On the surface, the concept seems a little over the top: half-scale cars racing on aluminum tracks in arenas more suited to basketball or ice hockey. But when Arena Racing USA decided to enter the market considered the center of American motorsports, the series turned to Joe Gibbs, first and foremost a football man who also happens to own a top NASCAR organization. The foray into the Charlotte, North Carolina, area this fall comes with the financial backing of Gibbs, a Nextel Cup Series team owner, and his drivers-two-time Cup champion Tony Stewart and rookies Denny Hamlin and J.J. Yeley.
