Most within the sport do believe the goal is to eventually phase out the Yates 364 in favor of the Ilmor 396. Generally, teams across both sides of the two garages are optimistic about the process. Schedules are still to-be-revealed, although ISM Raceway in Phoenix added both a spring K&N race and a fall ARCA race - the latter of which should stand to be the championship races for both ARCA and the SCI. The rules summary released to the teams do address nearly every other element between the two cars as NASCAR hopes to increase car counts across both divisions - including the soon-to-be-detailed Stock Car Invitational, a 10-race short track mini-series that pits ARCA and K&N teams against each other in a miniature combined championship. What the rules do not address, and this will be the most important element, is how the divisions will level the playing field between the ARCA Ilmor 396 engine and the K&N Yates 364 power plant. NASCAR purchased the ARCA Racing Series from Ron Drager in May 2018 and immediately stated an intent to merge it with the K&N Pro Series - at least in terms of combining the two rule books. NASCAR released the initial framework for the unified ARCA and K&N Pro Series rule book to teams earlier this month, providing the first glimpse at what those two divisions will look like when they race together during the 2020 season.
