Inaugural eNASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series Driver Draft Results

24 of the World’s Best Simracers Drafted, Will Compete for Over $110,000 in Prizes

Twelve teams took part in the two-round draft earlier this week for the 2019 eNASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series season.

Teams drafted from a pool of 40 drivers who previously qualified for NASCAR’s officially sanctioned iRacing series.

The No. 1 overall pick came as no surprise with Wood Brothers Racing selecting four-time series champion Ray Alfalla. He has competed in the series since its debut in 2010 and is the winningest driver in the series, accumulating 24 wins over the past nine seasons.

“This was not a difficult decision for us,” commented Jon Wood, director, business development, Wood Brothers Racing. “Ray has a proven history as a front running driver in this series and he has four championships to back that up. We are very much looking forward to working with Ray throughout the season and hope to see him on stage at Homestead-Miami in November accepting the championship trophy.”

Wood Brothers Racing Selected Ray Alfalla No.1 overall in the 2019 draft.

Flipsid3 Tactics had the second pick and chose Ryan Luza, the 2017 series champion and runner-up to Alfalla in 2018. While only having competed in the series for two seasons, Luza has racked up nine wins, making him a strong contender for this year’s championship.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., the first ever winner in the series, selected Michael Conti for his JR Motorsports team. Conti, the third overall pick, was the 2014 series champion. He is consistently a front-runner and is widely expected to vie for another championship.
