2026-27 eNASCAR College iRacing Series | Peachtree Pursuit at EchoPark | Time Attack Results
September 22nd, 2026 by Justin Melillo
From September 15th to September 20th, over 270 eligible collegiate iRacers took to EchoPark Speedway in hopes of qualifying for the first Tournament of the 2026-27 eNASCAR College iRacing Series season, presented by Logitech G. Dubbed the Peachtree Pursuit, 100 students have qualified for the upcoming season opener on September 23rd.
A total of 368 eligible students successfully registered for the upcoming season, those iRacers representing 228 different schools across the United States and parts of Canada. 75 of those schools will be represented in the first week of the new Tournament, nine of which will have multiple students competing. 56 of the registered schools are eligible for the new School Championship. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte has a whopping 14 entries qualified for the Quarterfinals.
A common sight from the 2025-26 season, California State University, Sacramento’s Dylan Ault set the quickest time in the Time Attack, entering as the No. 1 seed, headlining Group 1. Tarrant County College District’s Jacob Wilkerson was second fastest, and will lead Group 2 as the highest seed entering the night.
Notable entries in the Quarterfinals beside Ault include former eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series competitor Brian Mercurio, making his series debut for DeSales University, and the defending series champion, Connor Yeroschak, once again representing the University of Calgary Dinos. Familiar names like Daniel Nanney (Ball State), Zach Sprouse (George Mason), and Connor Trifari (UNC Charlotte) are also returning to the fold.
Last year, a common storyline was the rivalry created between UNC Charlotte and the University of Northwestern Ohio (UNOH) where they would line the fields with multiple entries. Belmont Abbey and Purdue’s many campuses also got in on the action at times. This year, UNC Charlotte has blown everyone out of the water, with over 30 individuals registered, 14 of them making their way through to the Quarterfinals.
Their biggest rival so far is none of those schools mentioned before. UNOH only has one transfer in Tyler Skoczen. The Abbey has three, led by Jake Innes. Purdue only has their Indy branch represented with Nick Luetje. It’s actually Bowling Green with the second most—five transfers—that group led by Joseph Peterson. With all of that said, only 40 students will escape the Semifinals and move on to Week 2 and the Final Round.
