From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2001 ARCA Re/Max Series was the 49th season of the ARCA Racing Series, a division of the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA). The season began on February 11, 2001, with the Discount Auto Parts 200 at Daytona International Speedway. The season ended with the Pork.
