LONG POND PA (7-31-08) ? ARCA RE/MAX Series race fans can follow all the on-track action this Friday and Saturday from Pocono Raceway via the ARCA Racing Network, available exclusively at arcaracing.com, presented by Team Glock Racing.

In addition, all on-track activity, including practice Friday, is available via Live Timing & Scoring at arcaracing.com.
?The live audio stream is yet another way to bring ARCA RE/MAX Series racing to our fan base, especially when we don?t have live TV coverage,? said Mark Gundrum, VP of Marketing and Communications. ?The response from providing the live streaming audio call from Cayuga and Berlin indicates that our fans are hungry for the coverage when TV?s not there.
?We?re certainly excited to bring ARCA RE/MAX Series fans live coverage of the Pennsylvania 200 at Pocono, which will be the first time the ARCA Racing Network will provide a live audio stream from a superspeedway.?
Feedback regarding the live streaming audio from Pocono is welcome.
