Arena Racing USA is a motorsports series founded by former NASCAR chassis builder Ricky Dennis, son of 1970 NASCAR Rookie of the Year, Bill Dennis.
Arena Racing features one-half-scale stock cars racing on a portable 1/10-mile (161m) track inside of an arena in the mold of indoor soccer and indoor football, meaning that events take place within an arena instead of the usual outdoor venue. 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. 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 2008-2009 season. The Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia and Cricket Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. The first venue will host events run by Arena Racing USA while Charlotte's event will be held with the help of Joe Gibbs Racing. A third venue, Grand Rapids, Michigan, will be launching their inaugural season in the fall of 2008 at the DeltaPlex Arena.
