It’s that time again: just over a week after the real-world World of Outlaws crowned its 2021 champions at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the powerful 410 Sprint Cars are back at it again on iRacing with the return of the iRacing World of Outlaws NOS Energy Sprint Car World Championship. The series, which made its move to the winter last year, fills the gap for WoO fans between the end of one season and the start of the next.

Much like Brad Sweet in the real-world, the virtual World of Outlaws field enters its next season chasing a three-time champion: Quebec’s Alex Bergeron, who outdueled Hayden Cardwell for the 2020-21 title in perhaps his stiffest competition since first claiming the crown. They lead a 35-driver field that boasts 17 drivers returning from last season, including 2020-21 race winners Tyler Schell and Cameron Merriman and perennial title threats James Edens and Kendal Tucker.

The rookie class, meanwhile, boasts some impressive reinforcements—not just from the Sprint Car ranks, but also drivers looking to follow Cardwell and Tucker’s footsteps out of the Late Model World Championship. Former Late Model World Champion Blake Matjoulis and race winner Evan Seay lead that group, while Gregory Lamey paced all drivers in the Qualifying Series for this season with two wins in six race starts.

A shuffled 2021-22 calendar retains its lynchpin opening and closing events at Volusia Speedway Park and Charlotte, respectively, but the rest of the schedule marks a departure from last time out. Among the major moves: Bristol Motor Speedway makes its series debut after its dirt track debuted on iRacing earlier this year, while the former penultimate event at Williams Grove Speedway moves up to the halfway point of the calendar and Knoxville Raceway drops from the second event of the season to the last event before the new year.

The 2021-22 iRacing World of Outlaws NOS Energy Sprint Car World Championship schedule is as follows:
