ASCS Rebel Sprint Cars, True Value Modified, SCCA Trans-Am, and FIA GP2 Asia Lead ARA Series Competition Index Honors

Auto Racing Analysis is pleased to present the 2009 ARA Series Competition Index results, produced from analyzing the results of 306 racing series worldwide.

The ARA Competition Index is determined by dividing the number of 2009 race winners by the number of 2009 races in each series (example: 7 race winners in 7 races, 1.000; 6 winners in 9 races, 0.667). In series featuring driving teams of two or more drivers, the number of winners is based upon the number of teams scoring wins.

Four ARA Competition Index categories are presented: Series of Less Than 15 Races, Series of 15 Races or More, Ladder Series, and Pinnacle Series.

SERIES OF 15 OR MORE RACES

The True Value Modified Series led the 15 or More Races category in 2009 with twelve winners in fifteen races (0.800) and also led the Open Wheel Oval category. The BCRA Midget series, with thirteen winners in seventeen races (0.765) ranked second overall and led the Midget series. The USAC/CRA Sprint Car series led the Sprint Car category. Europe’s soccer team-sponsored Superleague led the Road Racing and Road Racing Open Wheel contingent. The All-Star Dirt Late Model series led both the Stock Car and Dirt Late Model contingents. The Turismo Carretera Argentina was the leading Production-Based Road Racing series. The Pavement Stock Car category was led by the American-Canadian Tour. Italy’s Porsche Carrera Cup series was the leading Spec One-Make series. The USAC Focus Midget California Pavement series led the Pavement Midget category. The IRL Indy Lights series led the Open Wheel Diversified (road course and ovals) category. The Dutch GT4 Cup and the Brazilian GT3 series tied for GT category honors.
