Arena Racing USA is a motorsports series in the mold of indoor soccer and indoor football, meaning that events take place within an arena instead of the usual outdoor venue.

[edit] Details

Arena Racing featues one-half-scale stock cars racing on a portable 1/10-mile (.160 km) track inside of an arena. The cars are capable of speeds up to 100 mph (161 km/h).

Events are scheduled in a heat style format (like sprint cars), as oppose to NASCAR's format of one long race. The league promises a minimum of seven races per night [1]. The Arena Racing season runs from October to March, which is the offseason of major series such as NASCAR and Formula 1.

Currently there are three venues scheduled to host races for the 2006-2007 season, all in the Southern United States. The Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia, the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Virginia, and Cricket Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. The first two venues will host events run by Arena Racing USA while Charlotte's event will be held with the help of Joe Gibbs Racing. [2]
