Behind the Scenes: NASCAR Peak Antifreeze Series – Into the Wild Unknown

March 23rd, 2015 by

I’ve had this article planned for a while and I’m very excited about it.  Honestly, I do not want to write a single word about the Las Vegas race.  But I will, if for no other reason than to put a period on that and go into what I actually want to discuss.  If you … Read the Rest »

Burnin’ Rubber and Cash 2015 Nascar iRacing Series: Phoenix Spring

March 23rd, 2015 by

Welcome to sunny Phoenix, Arizona everyone!  We got into town yesterday, after a seemingly endless drive across country.  I feel sorry for those East Coast teams that have to drive even further than we did… two days stuffed in a car full of smelly dudes with questionable hygiene is enough for me.  I’m restless and … Read the Rest »

We did not have this track in 2013. It was one of two tracks we did not have in the first season. (I think the other was Kansas for the first race of the season.) As a result we ran at Iowa and Rockingham. I did very well at those two fill-in tracks coming home … Read the Rest »

NASCAR XFINITY … Read the Rest »

NASCAR iRacing Series Diary: PIR

March 16th, 2015 by

This week’s Fixed race was very messy. Why?  Well it seems that 156 lap races are too short for some drivers who feel they had to make it three wide on every restart. If you are fast the 156 laps should give you time to move through the field, or so one would think! I … Read the Rest »

Putting the Excitement Back in Restarts

While last week’s NASCAR iRacing Series visit to the virtual Las Vegas Motor Speedway produced many splits and some great sim racing, there was an outcry from the community about the need for an overhaul when it comes to restarts in the Gen6 cars. “I have no problem overcoming adversity of my own doing.
