"CRA is one of the premier asphalt racing sanctioning bodies in North America and is a perfect fit for the Ford Racing Short Track program. We want short track supporters across North America to know that we are very supportive of their efforts. Short tracks have been the backbone of stock car racing for over 50 years, and Ford recognizes their importance. We believe the contingency program that we have offered the CRA competitors and supporters reflects our support," said Mike Delahanty, Program Manager-Sportsman Circle Track Racing for Ford Racing.
