eNASCAR Sunoco All-Star Challenge to kick off Texas Playoff night on September 2nd

On Thursday, NASCAR, iRacing, and Sunoco unveiled the eNASCAR Sunoco All-Star Challenge, an exhibition event that features a selection of real-world NASCAR drivers racing alongside some of the most popular racing streamers on the internet.

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, September 2nd, leading into the second race of the 2025 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series playoffs, also at Texas Motor Speedway. The Sunoco All-Star Challenge kicks off one hour prior.

This special event features real-world competitors such as some former iRacing pros turned real-world drivers, Parker Retzlaff and Kaden Honeycutt, as well as current NASCAR Canada Series competitor, and current eNASCAR Countdown to Green host Ryan Vargas, all facing off against many well-known iRacing streamers, such as GrandPooBear, Matt Malone, and BottomSplit’s Jordan Werth.

They’ll all clash together for a pair of sprint races as they take on Texas Motor Speedway in the recently-released ARCA Series machines.

Tune in on Tuesday, September 2nd, at 7:00 PM ET at eNASCAR.com/live to watch the action! Stay tuned for the Countdown to Green at 7:45 PM ET, and the 16th race of the 2025 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series season from Texas Motor Speedway at 8:00 PM ET.

RACE FORMAT

Following a 40-minute practice session, all drivers will qualify to set the grid for the first race of the evening. For the first 15-to-20 laps in the race, cautions will be turned off. A caution will be thrown between Laps 15 and 20, and the field will be lined up for one attempt at eNASCAR Overtime. All drivers will be required to pit under that caution for a four-tire pit stop before lining up for the restart.

The results of the first race will be inverted to set the grid for the second race. Once again, after 15 to 20 laps, a caution will fly, drivers will need to take a four-tire pit stop under the caution, and will line up for one last restart in eNASCAR Overtime.
