eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series Enters Exciting 16th Season in 2025

Over $500,000 on the line once again; Season kicks off February 11 at Daytona

Coming off one of its most exciting seasons yet, iRacing and NASCAR are pleased to unveil the 16th season of the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series, the world’s premier stock car sim racing series. The green flag drops from the virtual Daytona International Speedway on Tuesday, February 11, as drivers battle for their share of $500,000 and a chance to claim the $100,000 series championship while racing at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in October.

The 2024 season saw Williams Esports’ Parker White claim his first Dale Earnhardt Jr. Cup in the annual live event from Charlotte, where he defeated 2023 champion Steven Wilson, Bobby Zalenski, and Graham Bowlin in a thrilling battle at the virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway. All four will return this year as part of the refreshed 40-driver lineup, with White and Bowlin (Kansas City Pioneers) returning to their 2024 teams.

Once again, the 20 teams on the grid include real-world NASCAR teams, including JR Motorsports, RFK Racing, Hyak Motorsports, and Spire Motorsports, as well as teams fielded by real-world drivers like Kevin Harvick, William Byron, Austin Dillon, and Jesse Iwuji. Also on the grid are teams led by IndyCar champion Tony Kanaan and action sports legend Travis Pastrana, as well as globally recognized esports teams like Six Karma, Vegas Inferno, Jim Beaver eSports, and Apex Racing Team.

Last season saw multiple unique race formats debut in the series, and all will return for 2025. These include a pair of fixed-setup races at Talladega Superspeedway and the Chicago Street Course, heat racing at Richmond Raceway at Iowa Speedway, and sprint and feature road races at Chicago and Autódromo José Carlos Pace, this year’s international venue. In addition, the three-segment regular season will return, with a $3,000 bonus and five playoff points on the line for the driver who scores the most points in each segment.

The 2025 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series schedule is as follows. All races will begin at 8 p.m. ET, with Countdown to Green kicking off at 7:30, and will stream at eNASCAR.com/live.

“The eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series continues to grow each year, and we’re excited to enter our 16th season of partnering with NASCAR in 2025,” said iRacing president Tony Gardner. “Last year saw us introduce a lot of new formats and races that shook up the series, and we’re excited to carry the momentum into the new season. We’re looking forward to seeing which of this year’s drivers can hoist the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Cup at the end of the season!”

“The eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series continues to raise the bar for competitive sim racing, bringing together top-tier talent, cutting-edge technology, and intense wheel-to-wheel action,” says Ray Smith Director, Esports – NASCAR. “Each season, the competition gets tighter, the strategies get smarter, and the stakes get higher. With returning champions, exciting race formats, and a passionate fan base, 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable year. Whether you’re a dedicated NASCAR fan or just discovering esports racing, this series delivers excitement at every turn.”
