MOORESVILLE, NC--(Marketwire - 12/16/09) - Twin racing sensations Amber and Angela Cope announced that they will be participating in the annual ARCA open test at Daytona taking place December 18, 19, and 20th.

"Angela and I are truly excited for the opportunity to get back to racing on a regular basis, and with our family history, Daytona is the perfect place to kick things off," said Amber. Stratus Racing Group plans to run a full 2010 schedule in the Camping World Truck Series, and with the Season fast approaching, the Copes are hoping to accomplish several goals during their time in Daytona.
