International Sport Compact Auto Racing Series (ISCARS) is moving forward with plans for a 2013 season while developing a long-term business plan to elevate the series featuring technologically-savvy four-cylinder stock cars, according to Randy Claypoole, President & CEO of ISCARS.

Claypoole confirmed plans just days after it was announced by Grand American Series officials that their company, International Sports Car Auto Racing (ISCAR), would change its name to Grand American Holdings, LLC, a move designed to consolidate under the Grand American umbrella and clarify potential confusion regarding ISCARS, for which Claypoole owns a Federal Trademark

"I want to congratulate United SportsCar Racing and all its partners and participants on the creation of a long-term initiative that will lead sports car racing to an exciting and sustainable future,” said Claypoole. "I appreciate the kind gesture of Grand American Holdings, LLC for assisting in the effort to clarify any confusion, considering how important acronyms are in building brand recognition."

Claypoole formed ISCARS in 2005 to carry-on the DASH Series legacy after NASCAR sold the series following the 2003 season and since that time ISCARS has continued a 38-year tradition of running four and six cylinder ‘Tuner-style’ stock cars on asphalt circle tracks in the Southeastern region of the United States.

“I am increasingly bullish on the future of sports compact stock car racing in the United States, as we work on expanding the ISCARS business model into multiple regions throughout the country,” said Claypoole. “As we seek to make ISCARS relevant on a national basis, we are committed to producing events that are affordable and family-friendly while keeping in step with engine technologies and brand identification. The key component behind the ISCARS’ initiative is to provide drivers the opportunity to race at a high-profile, professional level in an economically stable environment.”
