The 2002/2003 Arena Racing USA season debuted at the
Norfolk, VA Scope Coliseum on November 9th with 32 beautiful new minicups,
over 3000 screaming fans, and LOTS of local media attention. Many of
the big name late model racers from the area were in the field and their
fans were in the stands. In the end, the cream rose to the top as
multi-time track champion and Taco Bell 300 winner Phil Warren outlasted and
outdrove the "Top Dogs" to take the win in the final race. Here are
the finishing orders, photos, and videos from this historic event.
