Actually, ARCA, which started in 1950, is an independent sanctioning body. True, they work closely with NASCAR in many areas, use extremely similar rules and so on (which they benefit from since most major Cup teams often use the ARCA Series as a training ground for young talents), but they aren't owned by NASCAR.
And I think, with a few exceptions like ARCA veteran Frank Kimmel perhaps, that most Champ Car and IndyCar drivers are more well-known than most ARCA regulars
The Busch Series - and the Truck Series too for that matter, with the number of ex-Cup drivers they have there these days - probably get more attention, and pull bigger crowds on average, than open-wheel though.
