2026-27 eNASCAR College iRacing Series | Great Lakes Gauntlet at Michigan | Time Attack Results
November 9th, 2026 by Justin Melillo
From November 3rd to November 8th, Over 180 eligible collegiate iRacers took to Michigan International Speedway in hopes of qualifying for the fourth Tournament of the 2026-27 eNASCAR College iRacing Series season, presented by Logitech G. Dubbed the Great Lakes Gauntlet, 100 students have qualified for the upcoming fourth Tournament on November 11th.
Back again in the NASCAR Craftsman Trucks to close out the Fall Semester, the Great Lakes Gauntlet was on the previous year’s calendar of Tournaments, won by Maine at Machias student Daniel Faulkingham last season. Faulkingham has graduated, as has the Michigan Wolverine Matthew Zwack and the California State Fullerton Titan Logan Clampitt, the other previous winners at the 2-mile oval in Brooklyn, Michigan. That means a new Great Lakes Gauntlet champion will arise in two Wednesdays.
Sacramento State’s Dylan Ault managed to go four-for-four in the Fall Semester, setting the quickest time in the Time Attack, entering as the No. 1 seed once again. It is his eighth straight No. 1 seed dating back to the last race of the 2025-26 Fall Semester. Ault finished second in the Big Apple Battle at Watkins Glen last week, but he’s still searching for his first Tournament victory.
All three previous Tournament winners this season will be in the mix, including Peachtree Pursuit winner Jacob Wilkerson (Tarrant County, 13th seed), Queen City Crow winner Timothy Holmes (Horry-Georgetown, 58th seed), and the most-recent Tournament winner, Hector Collazo (Daytona State, 98th seed). Of course, the defending series champion, Connor Yeroschak (Calgary, 20th seed) will also be in attendance.
The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is nearly occupying one-fifth of the 100-student grid, having 19 of theirs transferred into the Quarterfinals this week. Belmont Abbey has five students, Bowling Green State has four, Ball State and East Tennessee State have three, and Sacramento State, Delaware, Eastern Shore, Purdue Indianapolis, UNOH, and Texas Tech all have two. That means that 65 schools will be in the mix in the first week.
While Zwack can no longer bring a home win to Michigan, Joonsuh Lim has taken the mantle of the Wolverines this year, and will be fighting in the Tournament as the 65th seed. Of course, what is College sports— or eSports, in this case—without a rivalry? The Ohio State University has Chauncey Henry Jr in the field as the 99th seed, and will look to carry the Buckeyes, once represented by Matthew Morton, to victory on enemy territory.
