RROL Foundation

The RROL Foundation is an American motorsport interest group created by Robert Clarke, founder of the RROL/VSCC racing series which competed in several different forms from 1998-2011. The RROL Foundation’s mission is to “support youth motorsport development and provide an avenue into the professional ranks.”

Creation
On January 8th, 2019, the RROL Foundation was officially incorporated and two days later on January 10th was revealed in a press release from the landmark Waldorf Astoria New York hotel by Robert Clarke in Manhattan. The 67-year old auto racing entrepreneur, who appeared noticeably thinner and frail, before this announcement was last seen publicly in 2016 when he revealed that he was diagnosed with lung cancer. At this time, Clarke also announced the creation of the North-Atlantic Open Wheel Modified Asphalt Division (NOWMAD) which will begin competition in 2019. “NOWMAD” will serve as the first major professional tour-type modified series since the Continental Racing League.

Despite the lavishness of the press release, the RROL Foundation will be headquartered in Richmond, Virginia.

Function
The RROL Foundation intends to provide a means for youth motorsport development to connect with professional auto racing. The foundation also serves “as an interest group that aims to protect the competitor and encourage the competition.”
