Tough Times in Richmond

May 4th, 2015 by

Week 8 of the 2015 NASCAR iRacing Series Open takes us to another southern short track, Richmond International Raceway.  I enjoy sim racing at Richmond, but I don’t always get good results. I either finish well here or get involved in a crash, sometimes both. I had a good run here last year in the … Read the Rest »

The Bright Side of Martinsville

April 3rd, 2015 by

Week 5 of the 2015 NASCAR iRacing season takes us to one of my favorite tracks: Martinsville Speedway. Martinsville is a track where I’ve had great success including an NIS win, so I always circle this date on my calender in the preseason. Like last week, I always have high expectations at tracks where I’ve … Read the Rest »

Burnin’ Rubber and Cash – Martinsville

April 3rd, 2015 by

Greetings from beautiful Martinsville, Virginia . . . where the hot dogs have changed but the racing hasn’t.  Last year at this race, I totaled my car after running in the top five every lap until the last 20.  The race before that, I totaled the car right around half way through the race.  In … Read the Rest »

The Daytona 2000

February 27th, 2014 by

Think Sunday was a long day for Dale Earnhardt Jr, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski & Company – not to mention millions of TV watchers or the tens of thousands of fans who endured slashing rain, tornado warnings and hours of track drying to witness a Daytona 500 that lasted 10+ hours from start to finish? … Read the Rest »

Bills Buffalos Iowa Street Stocks

February 7th, 2014 by

Week 2 of the iRacing.com Street Stocks Series headed to tricky Iowa Speedway, one of iRacing’s most under-rated tracks.  Along with experienced sim-racers likes of Tim Bills, Michael Chase and Dennis Buxton, the series welcomed some newcomers, which is always great to see.

Self Promotion: Making Your Own Luck

September 27th, 2013 by

If racing was easy, either physically or mentally, I can’t think of a reason we wouldn’t all be doing it.  This year has had its ups and downs for me; some of the biggest ups of my career, and some of the lowest downs where I’ve just had to reflect and ask Why? What? Or … Read the Rest »

Get to Know: Brad Newman

February 25th, 2013 by

One of the awards iRacing offers is the 10,000 lap award, which goes to iRacers who  complete 10,000 laps in official competition. The driver I interviewed this week earned the award in September of last year and it’s a no brainer why.  Just look at how many starts he has made so far: 842 oval … Read the Rest »

This week, I interviewed an iRacer who comes from north of the border.  Born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, this iRacer has been a member for nearly two years but has already established himself as a front runner on the oval side of iRacing. He finished ninth in the overall NASCAR iRacing.com Class … Read the Rest »

Get to Know: E.J. O’Rourke

October 9th, 2012 by

If you’re a NASCAR fan, an Indycar fan, a Grand-Am fan, it doesn’t matter, we all have that driver we cheer for the most. For some, it may be Dale Earnhardt Jr, Will Power, Scott Pruett, or (believe it or not) Kyle Busch, but for the iRacer I interviewed for this week’s article, his favorite … Read the Rest »
