TOLEDO OH (3-12-10) - The ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards, founded by John and Mildred Marcum, started out as the Midwest Association for Race Cars (MARC) in 1953.
But in reality, the sanction's origins date back to the pre-World War II era when Marcum raced with NASCAR founder Bill France, Sr. throughout the Midwest and South developing a close, lifelong friendship. Photo: Left to Right: Mildred Marcum, Bill France, Sr., Anne France
