iRacer Profile: Brandon Six

Although Brandon Six is a long-time iRacer, since joining the service in 2009 he “only” has one championship to his credit – the 2011 NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series Divison 2 title.  That looks set to change this season, as the Pennsylvanian is out to a commanding lead in of the NASCAR iRacing Class B Series.  With four wins and ten top fives to his credit, he is more than 300 points clear of Brandon Buie in the standings.  True, there’s a long way to go until the final checkered flag waves on Week 12, but Six certainly knows how to win – witness his 100+ iRacing victories; and finish — witness his career mark of placing in the top five in 40% of his oval starts.

Those are all good numbers, but the numbers for 2013 – a winning percentage approaching 20% and a top five finishing rate well over 50% — suggest Six is getting better all the time . . . and well-placed to add another gold loving cup to his virtual trophy case.
