2010 ARCA Racing Series
Previous:	2009	Next:	2011

Danica Patrick's No. 7 car at Daytona, during the first stock car start of her career.

This season was notable for the season-opening race, the 2010 Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona, which had the largest audience of any ARCA event in the history of the series with 2.4 million viewers tuning in on the Speed Channel. The high viewership was due to the fact that Danica Patrick was competing in the event, which was her first stock car start as part of her move from the IndyCar Series to NASCAR.[1] This garnered a lot more media coverage for the ARCA Series and attention to the series as a whole by race fans starting that year.
