The ISCARS Dash Touring Series (previously known as the NASCAR Baby Grand National, Goody's Dash Series and IPOWER Dash Series among others) is a stock car racing series created by NASCAR in 1975 that involved V-6 powered cars raced over relatively short distances. NASCAR sold the Goody's Dash series to new owner Brdaytona, who resold the naming rights, which led to the series being renamed to IPOWER Dash Series. In January 2005, officials announced the cancellation of the 2005 Dash season due to problems with sponsorship. The International Sport Compact Auto Racing Series (ISCARS) purchased the series allowing the series to continue through 2005 and is still operating today. ==Current series== Under current ownership, led by Randy Claypoole, ISCARS has adopted new engine rules. The series started as the NASCAR-sanctioned Baby Grand National as a four-cylinder series before adopting six-cylinder engines and full-size tires in 1998 (as NASCAR had phased out six-cylinder engines in the Busch Series, and the series initially used tires smaller than their bigger counterparts), and for 2010 Honda will make its debut in ISCARS DASH Touring with a 4-cylinder fuel-injected engine that is capable of producing 350 to 375 horsepower with a price that makes ISCARS even more affordable. Claypoole noted, "While the consumer currently deals with high gas prices, the rage with small sporty cars has a lot more to do with fad than fuel mileage. Today, there is a vast demographic interest in owning sport compacts." "The after market is a multi-billion dollar industry that is thriving and most interested in sport compacts. The involvement of car makes that the tuner crowd is driving is what we want to put on the race track." In 2008, the series joined forces with the new American Speed Association, headed by Dennis Huth, ASA is now the sanctioning body for the series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ISCARS Dash Touring Series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
