Alfalla Finds Victory Lane at Pocono
by Jason Lofing on June 12th, 2013
It took eight races and a lucky break, but Ray Alfalla is finally back in the NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship victory lane. Alfalla survived the early carnage and took advantage of a huge mistake by Nick Ottinger with 11 laps to go en route to his win at Pocono Raceway. It looked as if Ottinger had sealed-up the win when he passed Alfalla with 20 laps remaining, but Alfalla tried his best to keep the pressure on. With 11 laps to go, Ottinger pushed it a little too hard and slid into the wall on the exit of Turn Three, allowing Alfalla to retake the lead. Ottinger quickly tried to close back in, but a yellow flag would trap him in second position and set up a three lap [...]
Lukaszka is Dover’s “Top Monster”
by Tom Moustakas on June 10th, 2013
Week Five brought the NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series (fixed setup) to the first state in the Union and Dover International Speedway. With its unique combination of concrete surface and steep banking, it’s no wonder the track has earned the nickname “The Monster Mile.” Qualifying: For the second week in a row, Pro-licensed drivers topped the qualifying charts in the NiCAS (fixed setup). NiSWC competitor Brian Schoenburg (California) wheeled his Gen6 car to a 22.796 second lap around the concrete mile. New Pro driver Brian Day (Mid-South) was second best with a 22.808s lap, and NiSWC driver Danny Hansen was third at 22.809s. Kevin King (California) was fourth best at 22.820s and Matt Bussa (Illinois) was fifth at 22.833s. High SOF Race: The top SOF race of the week happened [...]
Brown Comes up Clutch in First NiSWC Victory
by Jason Lofing on May 29th, 2013
Heading into Week Seven of the 2013 NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship season Joey Brown found himself outside the top 25 in points despite some promising runs. The NiSWC rookie had shown flashes of brilliance through the first six races, but had his good runs undone by mistakes largely of his own making. That all changed at Charlotte Motor Speedway as Brown broke through for his first NiSWC victory, outdueling Marcus Lindsey in a fantastic battle for the win. Brown, who started from the pole but lost ground to Lindsey during the first round of green flag pit stops, erased more than a two second gap during the second half of the race. With ten laps to go, Brown was right on Lindsey’s bumper and made a move for the [...]
iRacer Profile: Dylan Duval
by David Phillips on May 4th, 2013
Racing always has and always will be a numbers game. Lap times and speeds, points races and championships, chassis set-ups, engine settings, gear ratios, margin of victory . . . you name it, if it counts in racing, there’s a number attached to it. And when it comes to racing, no number matters more than One. Whether it’s a 24 hour race or short sprint, a qualifying or practice session, the whole point of the exercise is to be Number One. With 154 wins in 868 starts on iRacing, Halifax Nova Scotia’s Dylan Duval is certainly no stranger to Number One. But he earned a unique first in 2013 Season One when he took ten wins from 30 starts to finish Numero Uno in the NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series [...]
Banshee Autosport Dominates ISOWC Round 4
by Jonathan Goke on March 27th, 2013
Round 4 of the International Simulated Open Wheel Championship saw 27 Dallara IndyCars try to tame the tricky triangle known as Pocono Raceway for 160 laps . . .400 miles of racing. After Round 3, Thomas A Klopp held a 10 point advantage over Thomas Sturm, with Jussi Nieminen a total of 25 points back in third. One of Banshee Autosport’s newest additions, Martin Miller would grab the pole for Sunday’s event with a time of 41.155. Thomas Sturm lined-up second, followed by Jonathan Goke, Jon Porzuc and Dave Judson, with Banshee grabbing 4 of the top five starting positions. Miller would lead the first 4 laps and then give way to Banshee teammate Jonathan Goke, who paced the field until the first caution of the day flew on Lap [...]
Taming the Tricky Triangle
by Chris Owens on February 15th, 2013
Week Two of the NASCAR iRacing.com Class B Series headed to the “Tricky Triangle” in Long Pond, PA. Drivers would have to tame Pocono Raceway’s three completely different corners to be successful and hope to find their way to Victory Lane following 50 laps of racing around the 2.5 mile tri-oval. In total, 571 sim racers took the green flag to complete an official race for the week while 134 drivers turned a qualifying lap. The weekly Friday night Strength of Field race saw Dylan Duval pick-up his first win of the season against 28 other sim-racers in a 5140-rated field. Last week’s winner Justin Thompson experienced problems during the event and finished a dismal 25th. Defending series champion Brandon Jerrell also experienced problems and finished 22nd. Six yellow flags [...]
New Season, New Hopes
by Chris Owens on February 7th, 2013
A new year means a new season for the stars and cars of the NASCAR iRacing.com Class B Series. With a new season comes new hope of a championship for every sim-racer that gets behind the wheel of the Chevrolet Impala Class B car. While some new faces made the trip to the Homestead-Miami Speedway in south Florida, it was a fairly familiar name that looked to take the series by storm. Nearly 750 sim-racers took to the track during the first week of the season. The mile and a half speedway is unlike any “cookie cutter” track on the circuit. With its multi-banked corners, drivers can choose to run the low line, the middle or up by the wall, making Homestead a track with multiple means of passing. Justin [...]
Get to Know: Blaze Carlson
by David Ifeguni on December 17th, 2012
Have you ever heard the saying “the facts don’t lie?” Well in this case, they kind of do. The driver I interviewed for this week may not have the best iRating, and he may not be a Pro or Class A driver, but he is always a threat for the win, every time he is on the track. He is also the co-owner of his very own racing team on iRacing which was founded three months ago. The driver I interviewed for this week is Blaze Carlson. Blaze Carlson has accomplished a great deal on iRacing and at a young age. The 16 year old, living in Marshalltown, Iowa, has started over 700 oval races and 20 road races since joining the service in June of 2010. He has scored [...]
Coleman’s Picnic at Pocono
by Jordan Hightower on December 13th, 2012
Week Six marks the halfway point in Season Four as the NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series (open setup) heads to arguably the most unique venue on the NASCAR circuit in Pocono Raceway. This very unique track which features three distinctly different turns each varying in banking from 14 degrees all the way down to six degrees in Turn Three which can produce some very exciting racing. 800-plus sim racers wanted their chance to claim victory in the week’s high Strength of Field, but as with most things, there can only be one number one. NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship competitor Chad Coleman (Georgia) showed his fellow competitors in the 3316 SoF how to win and how to do it in dominating fashion. Coleman took the checkered flag first after leading [...]
Alfalla Tricks The Triangle
by Jordan Hightower on December 12th, 2012
When it comes to NASCAR racing, there isn’t a track on the circuit more unique than Pocono Raceway. Its nickname of The Tricky Triangle suits the raceway perfectly. The 2.5-mile track features three turns all varying in length, banking, and difficulty, making this truly a one-of-a-kind racing venue. Although this is one of the more difficult tracks within the iRacing.com service, it did not scare away potential winners as close to 1,400 sim racers vied for that all important Strength of Field win in the NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series (fixed setup) during Week Six. A name that is no stranger to victory lane in online racing once again visited that all too familiar place in this week’s 4655 high Strength of Field. Two-time NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship champion [...]
Taylor TKOs Atlanta
by Jordan Hightower on December 10th, 2012
Nearly 1,200 sim racers attempted to lay claim to Atlanta Motor Speedway during Week Five of the NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series (open setup), but only one could claim he was the best of the best after seven days of intense online racing. The week’s highest Strength of Field took place on November 26th and involved 18 virtual Silverados battling for the top spot. The 3491 SoF was won by Michael Taylor (Carolina) who only led nine laps, but was in front of Ian Faltenhine (Eastern Canada) by 0.644 seconds on the 90th and final circuit of the 1.5 mile oval. Jeremy Bivins (Mid-South) finished in the third position 1.396 seconds behind the race winner while Mike Burnell (Midwest) brought his truck home in the fourth and filling out the [...]
Alfalla Sets Fire to Atlanta
by Jordan Hightower on December 7th, 2012
Atlanta Motor Speedway played host to the fifth week of online racing in the NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series (fixed setup) and what a turnout of eager sim racers it had. Over 1,500 iRacers attempted to take home the hardware, but it was a familiar face to not only this series, but to the entire iRacing.com service who did just that. With so many online racers competing in at least one race during the week, earning the victory in the high Strength of Field was a difficult task, but the 5017 SoF proved to be no struggle for NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship competitor Bryan Blackford (Florida). Justin Brooks (Carolina) finished a very close second to Blackford, just 0.211 seconds behind. The NiSWC is once again represented in the top [...]
Familiar Name Atop NiCAS Pocono Standings
November 30th, 2012
Week Four in the NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series (NiCAS) reminded many competitors of how much of a love-hate relationship Pocono Raceway can be. Best described as a total oddity, the 2.5 mile circuit located in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania features three vastly different corners that provide headaches for not only drivers, but crew chiefs as well. That combined with the longest straightaway in NASCAR, where speeds will top 210mph, Pocono is always circled on the NiCAS calendar. While some drivers steer clear from the challenge presented by the Tricky Triangle, others wrap their arms around it with relative ease. The top rated race of the week was settled on Sunday night, with a unique mix of veterans, and relative newcomers to the big stage, all within the [...]
Hansen’s Pocono Upset
by Jason Lofing on November 28th, 2012
Danny Hansen scored his first career NASCAR iRacing.com Pro Series victory at Pocono Raceway, using some clutch driving to hold-off Josh Berry and Jared Crawford over the final 16 lap run to the checkers. Hansen took the lead on Lap 50 through pit strategy and needed some yellow flag laps in order to make it on fuel. Two quick yellows enabled Hansen to save more than enough fuel to make it to the finish. Along with his win, Hansen picked-up the bonus point for leading the most laps after pacing the field for 30 tours of the Tricky Triangle, one more than Crawford. “Well what can I say, winning that race was pretty dang cool,” said Hansen after his victory. “It’s just really, really cool to see my hard work [...]
Conti Shines in Miami Sun
November 24th, 2012
The NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series (NiCAS) made the trip down south to Homestead Miami Speedway for Week Three of Season Four. Unlike our physical world counterparts in the Sprint Sup Series, the NiCAS has no championship drama as of yet, allowing drivers to focus on the racing, and more importantly, winning. Although Homestead fits the description of the seemingly common mile and a half speedway, HMS has character all its own. From the very line sensitive turns one and two, to the wide arcing, high speed turns three and four, Homestead Miami Speedway will never fall under the dreaded “Cookie-Cutter” description. Seat time is always big when the NiCAS heads to a unique track such as HMS, and that became apparent by glancing at the weekly standings. NASCAR iRacing.com [...]
Tricky Triangle Child’s Play for Traino
by Jeff Yeager on October 15th, 2012
The tricky triangle better known as Pocono Raceway hasn’t seen the real Indy Cars race there since 1989, though it will be re-introduced to the IZOD Indycar schedule in 2013. With its unique design, each turn is modeled after turns at three different tracks. Turn One has 14 degrees of banking and was modeled after the now defunct Trenton Speedway. Turn Two (also known as “The Tunnel Turn) is like The Indianapolis Motor Speedway having 9 degrees of banking, while Turn Three having six degrees of banking is similar to The Milwaukee Mile. For Week 13 the track played host to the iRacing Dallara Series where the track was dominated by one sim-racer: Brandon Traino overpowered the competition by winning both of the strength of field races. The Monday race [...]
iRacer Profile: Paul Hesla
by David Phillips on October 6th, 2012
Paul Hesla is a racer. Hailing from suburban Chicago’s Tinley Park, how could be not be? After all, patriarch of one of the most legendary families in racing – Tony Bettenhausen – not only came from Tinley Park, he was nicknamed the “Tinley Park Express.” Hesla, however, counts another Chicago sports icon as his hero: Walter Payton. While “Sweetness” is understandably best known for his NFL Hall of Fame career (not to mention his various humanitarian efforts), he jumped into auto racing with both feet following his retirement as the NFL’s all time leading rusher, first as a driver (Trans-Am) and later as co-owner of the Payton-Coyne Indycar team. Hesla is carrying-on Payton’s racing tradition in his bid to win the closest thing to the Trans-Am in iRacing, the Mustang [...]
Little change to 2013 Cup schedule
September 26th, 2012
NASCAR released its 2013 Sprint Cup series schedule which features little change relative to this year. As usual the season will start with the Daytona events, beginning with the non-points Shootout on February 16, the first event where the new Chevrolet SS, Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry will run in a competitive event
Logano to switch to Penske
September 4th, 2012
Joey Logano will drive for Penske in the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and beyond, the team announced on Tuesday. Logano, a two-time winner in Cup and currently in his fourth full season in NASCAR’s elite, is losing his current Joe Gibbs Racing seat to 2003 champion Matt Kenseth next season.
Laughton Tops Pocono
by Case Brinksma on August 15th, 2012
The inaugural season of the NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series (Fixed Setup) headed to the Pocono Mountains for 2012 Season 3 Week 1. The iRacing drivers brought their talents to the Tricky Triangle (aka Pocono Raceway), a race track that demands patience, driving ability, and the ability to stay focused for long periods of time. There were 585 sim-racers who competed at least once at the Tricky Triangle. A total of three drivers took the green flag more than 10 times, with Mike Shelton claiming top honors by racking-up 14 starts. In the wins column, Dylan Duval takes home the title with a whopping six wins out of 11 starts. Duval also had the most laps led with 227, which tops the mark of the next highest competitor — Brian [...]
