The 2009 ARLA Elite Series season was a 24-race season that began at Daytona and concluded at Rockford. The last time they had ran at Rockford before this season was back in 2001. The championship would be won by Akira Tsukari.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • The Talladega doubleheader races did not count as two separate races.
  • After the qualifying race at Green Valley, due to the astronomical amount of full-time teams, teams that did not qualify for a race at that point were demoted to the ARLA Thunder Trucks.
  • A number of teams withdrew from the race at Leipzig due to safety concerns, resulting in only 45 cars attempting the race.
