Jupiter, FL (AHN) - The ARCA RE/MAX Series added a second road course race to its 2010 schedule by adding a stop at Palm Beach International Raceway, a 2.034-mile, 11-turn road course in Jupiter, Fla.

ARCA will kickoff the season at Daytona in early February but later in the month the series will return to the Sunshine State for the Palm Beach stop on Feb. 27.

"We've been working with officials at Palm Beach Int'l Raceway for well over a year, and today's announcement has been highly anticipated by everyone at ARCA," said ARCA President Ron Drager. "The PBIR venue and market represents a key addition to the 2010 schedule and we certainly look forward to working with Jason Rittenberry, Ron Dixon, Emily Brown and everyone at PBIR."

"We expect a large number of our teams to visit the facility based on common travel over the next couple months with the Performance Racing Industry trade show in Orlando Dec. 10-12, the ARCA sanctioned open test at Daytona Int'l Speedway Dec. 18-20, and the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 race at Daytona Feb. 6," he added.

The PBIR stop joins the previously announced August 15 race date at New Jersey Motorsports Park as the other road-course event on the circuit.

ARCA has raced at more than 200 racetracks in the U.S. and Canada since its inception in 1953 and the stop at the 11-turn, 2.034-mile design continues the series' diversity.
