2025 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series | Preview | Race 7: Coca-Cola 160 at Charlotte

The eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series returns after taking a month off since their last event. This Tuesday, 40 of the best in the eNASCAR ranks will head to NASCAR’s virtual backyard in Concord, North Carolina, with the longest race in mileage on the season up next—the Coca-Cola 160 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Steven Wilson leads the way, not only in the points, but with three wins over the rest of the field. Tucker Minter, Bobby Zalenski, and Kollin Keister also have their tickets to the eNASCAR Playoffs punched. Garrett Lowe returns to the site of his last win one year ago, the closest finish in eNASCAR history against Jimmy Mullis.

Race coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET at eNASCAR.com/live and across iRacing social media channels. Tune in 30 minutes earlier to catch the Countdown to Green at 7:30 p.m. ET.

LAST RACE

We’re one month removed from the last eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series event at Talladega, which was won by Bobby Zalenski in dramatic fashion. Daniel Faulkingham and Christopher Hill were also in the conversation exiting Turn 4 on the final lap, but the trio of drivers collided, with Zalenski the only survivor. Both Malik Ray and Dylan Duval attempted to steal the win, but neither could get there in time as Zalenski celebrated his first win of 2025.

LAST YEAR

Last year’s Memorial Day weekend showdown was an instant eNASCAR classic after 240 miles of racing, the longest race of that season as well. In a late race showdown of differing strategies, Kevin Harvick Inc.’s Jimmy Mullis and BS+COMPETITION’s Garrett Lowe emerged among the pack with fresher tires, both attempting to steal their first win of the season. Off the final corner, the two collided and drove across the line in a photo finish. It was nearly too close to call, but Lowe was able to edge Mullis by 0.001 seconds—the closest finish in eNASCAR history.

TRACK FACTS

Charlotte Motor Speedway is dubbed “America’s Home For Racing.” The famed 1.5-mile D-shaped oval based in Concord, NC opened in 1960, and has managed a lot of firsts in the NASCAR community over the years, including the installation of night lighting and the opening and utilization of the infield Roval. It all stems from the fact that the track is located right around the majority of NASCAR teams and their race shops in the state.

NEXT RACE

Following the Coca-Cola 160, the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series will continue its run of six races in seven weeks with the eighth round of the season at Nashville Superspeedway on May 27th. Last season, it was Tucker Minter victorious over the eventual champion that season, Parker White.
