ARCA was founded in 1953 in Toledo, Ohio by John Marcum, who raced against and was an official for Bill France Sr., the founder of NASCAR.

Now in its sixth decade ARCA is recognized among the premier sanctioning bodies in the US, administering over 100 race events each season in two professional touring series and local events.

For more than 50 years, ARCA has presented championship stock car racing to fans, competitors and sponsors at the highest levels of the sport. 

The ARCA RE/MAX Series has crowned a national champion each season since 1953 and annually visits some of the most prestigious motorsports venues in the world-including Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway, Pocono Raceway, Michigan International Speedway, Kansas Speedway and Chicagoland Speedway to name a few. 

In addition, the very diverse ARCA RE/MAX Series, which races on both pavement and dirt, is the second longest running national championship racing series in the country, with only the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series possessing more longevity.

The ARCA RE/MAX Series has become the proving ground for many of tomorrow's NASCAR super stars.  In fact, many of NASCAR's elite race teams have turned towards the RE/MAX Series to assist in facilitating their driver development programs.  

Hendrick Motorsports, Roush Racing, Evernham Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing are just a few of the NASCAR teams that field a car and driver in the RE/MAX Series on any given race weekend.

Among famous drivers who have competed in the ARCA RE/MAX Series are:

Tony Stewart, Mark Martin, Michael Waltrip, Ryan Newman, Casey Mears, Davey Allison, Ernie Irvan, Jeremy Mayfield, Bill Venturini Sr., Phil Parsons, Lake Speed, Benny Parsons, Kyle Petty, Kerry Earnhardt, Adam Petty, Brett Bodine, Todd Bodine, Alan Kulwicki, Darrell Waltrip, Ken Schrader, Sterling Marlin, Ron Hornaday, Larry Foyt, Scott Riggs and Kyle Busch.

The ARCA RE/MAX Series sanctions 20 to 25 events each season.  Over the past decade the RE/MAX Series has increased in popularity, not only in event attendance but in the size of average television viewership.
