Team of One: Martinsville Speedway
March 25th, 2014 by Jaime Baker
Week 6 of the NASCAR iRacing Series brings us to the world’s fastest paperclip. Martinsville Speedway is the classic track that pops into everyone’s head when they think NASCAR racing. While it may be a little more than a bump and run strategy, it isn’t much more. Last week I talked about running low bumpstops … Read the Rest »
Team of One: Auto Club Speedway
March 21st, 2014 by Jaime Baker
Auto Club Speedway was the last track on the NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule to be added to iRacing. It is a 2.5 mile D-shaped oval that drives like a champ kart on a block of ice (it’s bumpy and slick.) You can’t take the fixed setup and expect to make some small changes here. This … Read the Rest »
A Team of One: Bristol Motor Speedway

Other than the fight, the most exciting thing at Dirt Devils Speedway was how simple the set-ups were. It’s always exciting seeing a girl that can bench more than Mark Martin start a fight but the cross weight was unreal. So was the camber!

iRating… often the most frustrating and ego-boosting statistic on the Internet. It is also what determines who races against who in iRacing. I believe everyone should have a chance to race in the big splits. I don’t 100% agree with the iRating scale but it is definitely a decent measure of skill. Before I go … Read the Rest »
A Team of One – Phoenix International Raceway
February 24th, 2014 by Jaime Baker
Week 2 of the NASCAR iRacing Series brings us to Phoenix International Raceway. Phoenix is a very diverse track with two non-symmetrical corners. It is also rather bumpy compared to its real world counterpart. This means there are several unique challenges that Phoenix brings to the table when we want to build a set-up. The … Read the Rest »
A Team of One
February 17th, 2014 by Jaime Baker
With the 2014 NASCAR iRacing Series set to get underway later this week, iRacingNews is introducing the first in a regular series of articles by Eric Isenbeck designed to help those many iRacers who are not part of multi-driver teams develop set-ups for the Gen 6 Chevy SSs and Ford Fusions they’ll be racing in … Read the Rest »
