Goke and Sanford Go Big in Texas
by Matt Kingsbury on June 14th, 2013
The sixth week of the iRacing.com IndyCar Oval racing took place at Texas Motor Speedway, “The Great American Speedway.” The drivers took to the venue’s 1.5 mile oval where they would battle spinning their tires on restarts coming through the quad oval. The corners are banked at 24 degrees and provide a tremendous amount of grip for the IndyCars, allowing the leader to control the bottom lane and making for minimum passing opportunities. The iRacing.com IndyCar Oval Open Series 3150 Strength of Field race saw 19 drivers register for the event. Home town hero Brad Sanford (Texas) blasted his #8 Dallara to the win leading 20 of 100 laps after starting from the third position. The race itself was calm and saw just three caution flags for 12 laps and [...]
Hometown Hero
by Jordan Hightower on June 11th, 2013
Texas Motor Speedway played host to Week Six of the NASCAR iRacing Class C Fixed Series and a hometown hero was able to make his way to victory lane during the week’s top Strength of Field event. 2,202 sim racers took the track for at least one race during the week, each looking for a trip to Texas’ victory lane, but only one could lay claim to victory. The 1.5-mile speedway provides some of the closest racing that iRacing has to offer, but this week it provided more of a challenge than usual. Since this series runs a fixed setup (everyone has the same setup), some drivers had concerns that the setup was too loose, which made the Silverado more difficult to drive compared to other big speedways on the [...]
IndyCar Magic
by Matt Kingsbury on June 8th, 2013
The fifth week of the iRacing.com IndyCar Oval Series racing took place at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The one mile oval – aka The Magic Mile — saw 747 sim-racers take part in the week as they all fought to master the top lane passing or take advantage of other people’s mistakes and earn a victory at NHMS. The iRacing.com IndyCar Oval Fixed Series strength of field of 2734 saw 23 drivers attempting to wrestle for the points lead. Competitors learned the hard way that cautions breed cautions as only seven cars finished on the lead lap. The opening laps saw minor shuffling of positions through passing, mistakes, and wrecks. The 55 lap race saw a fastest lap time of 22.511 and an average lap time of 40.093 due [...]
Show ‘Em What You’ve Got
by David Phillips on May 13th, 2013
Heading to Darlington Raceway on Tuesday, the 2013 NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship is off to a hectic start. Series leaders Tyler D Hudson and Brian Schoenburg are still looking for their first wins; likewise two-time defending champion Ray Alfalla, who has clawed his way back into the reckoning after opening the campaign with 42nd and 36th place finishes in two of the first three events. Meanwhile, Daytona winner Adam Gilliland finds himself P8 . . . three better than Phoenix winner (and 2012 championship runner-up) Michael Conti, who failed to qualify for the season opener. All the more remarkable, then, that just five races into the young season Nick Ottinger already has a pair of wins to his credit, with back-to-back triumphs at Texas Motor Speedway and Richmond International [...]
Ottinger Steals Richmond for Second Straight Win
by Jason Lofing on May 1st, 2013
After the smoke cleared from the Richmond carnage, Nick Ottinger found himself in the NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship victory lane for the second straight race. Unlike two weeks ago at Texas Motor Speedway, where Ottinger had the dominant car from start to finish, his victory at Richmond International Raceway was achieved with good strategy and some timely accident avoidance. “Two in a row! Wow, I had a great car for the long run,” said Ottinger. “I really can’t explain how we survived it all; however we had the right strategy and it kept playing into our favor late in the race.” Ottinger started twenty-second and wasted no time cutting his way through the field. By the time the first caution flew on Lap 48, Ottinger had already cracked the [...]
Class B Rocks
by Chris Owens on April 17th, 2013
Rockingham Speedway played host to the tenth week of the season for the NASCAR iRacing.com Class B Series. A fixture on the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series for years, Rockingham was brought back to light by Andy Hillenburg and staff in 2008. 134 sim-racers would take to the high banked mile oval for Week 10. Brandon Buie would lead the series after a tough week. Buie collected 286 points in his one start during the week, bettering second placed Brad Patton who earned 268 points in two starts. Series points leader Simon Crochart was third with 250 points in his lone start of the week, while Steven Eszenyi and Anthony Kernich rounded-out the top five in points at Rockingham. Simon Crochart topped the week’s qualifiers with a 23.099 second [...]
Ottinger Puts on a Show at Texas
by Jason Lofing on April 17th, 2013
Nick Ottinger dominated Round Four of the NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship from start to finish at Texas Motor Speedway Tuesday night, cruising to a comfortable victory over two time champion Ray Alfalla. Ottinger, who started from the pole, led 128 of 167 laps and was only passed for position once on the track as the race went caution-free. Ottinger’s victory makes it four different winners thus far in the 2013 NiSWC season. “Feels great to break through and get a win! Starting up front helped, however, we knew the car was stout and had a blast going caution-free,” said Ottinger after picking up his third career NiSWC win. Ottinger beat Alfalla to the checkers by 3.4 seconds, with Marcus Lindsey finishing third, six seconds behind. Teammates Chad Laughton and [...]
The NASCAR iRacing Road to Pro: Week 8 of 8
by Brennan Mercer on April 16th, 2013
Editor’s note: Brennan Mercer has been at it again: toting-up actual and potential points for the 2013 Season One NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series (open setup). As the top ten points finishers not already holding a Pro or Pro/WC license from Seasons 1, 2 and 3 in the Class “A” open setup NASCAR series qualify for a Pro license, a spot in the 2013 NASCAR iRacing.com Pro Series and a chance to qualify for the 2014 NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship, there’s a lot at stake. Here is Brennan’s unofficial analysis of who’s in, who’s out and who’s in the mix for the remaining spots as the NiCAS heads into the homestretch of 2013 Season 1. With the Road to Pro going through the Lone Star state, NASCAR iRacing.com Class [...]
The Road to Pro Scenario: Week 7 of 8
by Brennan Mercer on April 9th, 2013
Editor’s note: Brennan Mercer has been busy toting-up the points — actual and potential — for the 2013 Season One NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series (open setup). As the top ten points finishers not already holding a Pro or Pro/WC license from Seasons 1, 2 and 3 in the Class “A”open setup NASCAR series qualify for a Pro license, a spot in the 2013 NASCAR iRacing.com Pro Series and a chance to qualify for the 2014 NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship, there’s a lot at stake. Here is Brennan’s unofficial analysis of who’s in, who’s out and who’s in the mix for the remaining spots. With the first installment of NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series “Road to Pro” coming to a close in two weeks, I’m getting questions on where [...]
Conti Regains Form in Phoenix
by Jason Lofing on April 3rd, 2013
Michael Conti’s first two NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship races had all the makings of a sophomore slump. Shockingly, he failed to qualify for the season opener at Daytona, then could not crack the top 20 the following week at Las Vegas. Mired deep in the standings, Conti needed a breakthrough . . . and he got one in a big way last night by leading 70 of 156 laps and winning at Phoenix International Raceway. On a track that is among the most difficult to pass on the entire NiSWC circuit, Conti’s pit crew kept him in the fight, knocking-off quick pit stops every time the Main Performance Chevy needed service. Once the crew did their job, the driver did the rest en route to the victory. “This is [...]
Finland Wins 2012 World Cup of iRacing
by David Phillips on January 21st, 2013
Finland broke DE-AT-CH’s stranglehold on the World Cup of iRacing, dethroning the only champions the competition has ever known with impressive performances at Road America and Texas Motor Speedway in Saturday’s 2012 World Cup of iRacing Finals. Further emphasizing the depth of competition, Brasil finished runner-up in the online racing event with DE-AT-CH taking third just ahead of UK/Ireland. Although two-time iRacing.com Grand Prix Series World Champion Greger Huttu paced the Finnish squad with a win at Road America in his HPD-ARX-01c, this was a team victory; witness the fact that six of the top ten finishers at Road America represented Finland. And while Anderson Paes and Bruno Noronha ran to a one-two for Brasil at TMS, five Finnish sim-racers cracked the top ten in the Lone Star state, headed [...]

by Katier Scott on January 18th, 2013

From early July when the first qualifier took place to this coming weekend, 37 clubs and 100s of drivers have all taken part in a [...]
DE-AT-CH, Brasil, Finland, UK/Ireland in World Cup Final
by David Phillips on January 15th, 2013
The line-up for the 2012 World Cup of iRacing Finals is set following Saturday’s World Cup Tournament. Three time champions DE-AT-CH led the qualifiers, edging Finland by 17 points (756 to 739) with Brasil (709) coming-in just ahead of fourth and final qualifier UK/Ireland (701). The four clubs will meet again this coming Saturday (January 19) to determine the 2012 World Cup of iRacing champion in two races that will be broadcast on Glacier TV. Saturday’s action at Road America (HPD ARX-01C) and Texas Motor Speedway (Chevy Impala Class B) produced a total of more than 1,200 starts among 800 iRacers from the 21 clubs that qualified for the World Cup of iRacing Tournament. Finland (391) topped the points getters at Road America ahead of DE-AT-CH (378), but DE-AT-CH matched [...]

Morse Tops in Texas
by Case Brinksma on November 14th, 2012
he NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series (Fixed Setup) headed to Dallas, Fort Worth Texas for 2012 Season 4 Week 1. The drivers of iRacing took their talents to the Great American Speedway (aka Texas Motor Speedway), a track provides a lot of racing room and, not surprisingly, usually produces great side-by-side racing. A total of 554 sim-racers competed at least once at the Great American Speedway. The three drivers with the most starts included Dylan C Jones, who claimed top honors by racking-up a dozen starts, followed by Billy Angstadt and Anthony Yates2 with 11 races each. In the wins column we had a tie between Ian Hann and Billy Angstadt with three victories apiece. With 245 circuits out front, Angstadt led the most laps, topping his closest competitor — [...]
Laughton Pads NiPS Points Lead at PIR
by Jason Lofing on November 14th, 2012
Chad Laughton grabbed his second NASCAR iRacing.com Pro Series victory in three starts, winning Tuesday’s wreck-filled race at Phoenix International Raceway. Laughton started third and gained the lead during pit stops and was never passed on the track. He led 97 of 156 laps and clearly had the best car on the long runs, able to pull away from the rest of the field. Jared Crawford finished second, right in front of Jake Stergios who had a very strong run to finish third. Dustin Montgomery backed up his win at Texas last week with a solid fourth place run while Kenneth OKeefe rounded-out the top five. Carson Downs started on pole, giving him the early advantage on a track that has proven to be one of the toughest to pass [...]
Ray Cowboys Up
by Jordan Hightower on November 13th, 2012
Everything is bigger in Texas! While that slogan may be not be appropriate for some things, it is appropriate in describing the speeds seen when the NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series heads to the Lone Star State for some high speed action at the 1.5-mile Texas Motor Speedway. Week One of Season Four started off with a bang for Malik Ray (Carolina) who was able to claim the top spot in the weekly standings. Over 1,100 sim racers competed in an official race during Week One, but after the smoke settled, Ray took home the victory in the week’s high Strength of Field race. The race took place on Sunday morning when Ray was able to destroy the field by 3.416 seconds over second place driver Corey A Wolf (New [...]
Hightower’s Texas Two Step
by Jordan Hightower on November 13th, 2012
Texas Motor Speedway is one of the most popular tracks within the iRacing.com service because of its high speeds and great racing. 1,641 sim racers attempted to conquer the 1.5-mile beast located in Fort Worth, Texas, during Week One of the NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series (Fixed Setup), but after seven days of full-throttle, hard-nosed racing, it was Jordan Hightower (Mid-South) who came out on top in more ways than one. While Hightower earned the most championship points for Week One, he was not able to win the week’s highest Strength of Field race. That honor went to two-time NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship champion Ray Alfalla (Florida), who was the victor of the 3802 SoF race. Alfalla was able to beat fellow NiSWC driver Bryon Daley (New York) by [...]
NiCAS Season Kicks Off in Texas
November 9th, 2012
The NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series (NiCAS) is back in action after a week of testing and tuning, and some of the top sim racers from all over the planet wasted no time kicking off the season with a bang. Texas Motor Speedway is not only one of the fastest tracks we will visit throughout the 2012 Season 4 schedule, but it also provides an immense sensation of speed. Although the NASCAR iRacing.com Pro Series (NiPS) is already under way, there is an NiCAS championship up for grabs, and it all started last week in Texas. Chad J Laughton made a return to the series, picking up where he left off at the top of the charts, this time scoring 341 big points. Laughton held off NASCAR iRacing.com Series World [...]
NiCBS Off to a Fast Start at TMS
by Chris Owens on November 7th, 2012
2012 Season 4 of the NASCAR iRacing.com Class B Series kicked-off at the ultra fast Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas. As drivers look to start the season off on the right foot, most just hope to survive and move on to the next week. In total, 805 drivers ran a race, while 245 sim-racers posted qualifying times at TMS. Ryan Luza (Texas) started his season off on the right foot, laying down a blistering 28.799 second lap time to claim the overall pole for the week. Justin Douglas (Northwest) would clock in just a tick slower at 28.814 seconds, with Simon Crochart (France), David Cater (Carolina) and Allen Provenzano (Illinois) rounding out the top five fastest qualifiers.
