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 »

Like a Win

March 25th, 2015 by

Week 4 of the 2015 NASCAR iRacing Series Open keeps us in the West at Auto Club Speedway in sunny California. Auto Club Speedway is one of two 2.0 mile tracks on Sprint Cup series schedule, the other being its Midwestern cousin: Michigan International Speedway. Interestingly enough, although the two tracks race and drive similarly, … Read the Rest »

Wheelin’ it at Auto Club

March 25th, 2015 by

It was an exciting week in the NASCAR iRacing Series as drivers found themselves wrestling the challenges of maintaining grip at the high-speed Auto Club Speedway. Trying to maintain the dangerous, but necessary, corner exit speed given the long straightaways suckered many in to overdriving the cars – leaving those who could understand and feel … Read the Rest »

Falcon Racing enjoyed a good week in the NASCAR iRacing Series at Auto Club Speedway, with a 12th place in the Open and a fourth place in the Fixed. We even lead two laps in the Fixed, adding to the two laps we lead at Daytona back in Week 1. The setup was good for … Read the Rest »

Burnin’ Rubber and Cash 2015 Nascar iRacing Series: Phoenix Spring

March 23rd, 2015 by

Welcome to sunny Phoenix, Arizona everyone!  We got into town yesterday, after a seemingly endless drive across country.  I feel sorry for those East Coast teams that have to drive even further than we did… two days stuffed in a car full of smelly dudes with questionable hygiene is enough for me.  I’m restless and … Read the Rest »

Phoenix Recovery Room

March 20th, 2015 by

So far this season in the 2015 NASCAR iRacing Series (Open) we have visited two 1.5 milers. Week 3 took us to the unique one mile oval at Phoenix International Raceway. The thing about Phoenix that makes it so different from any other track NASCAR goes to is the “Dogleg” located on the backstretch. Drivers … Read the Rest »

NASCAR iRacing Series Outlook: Auto Club Speedway

March 18th, 2015 by

We did not have this track in 2013. It was one of two tracks we did not have in the first season. (I think the other was Kansas for the first race of the season.) As a result we ran at Iowa and Rockingham. I did very well at those two fill-in tracks coming home … Read the Rest »

New Build Gives Second Lives at PIR

March 18th, 2015 by

This past weekend’s NASCAR iRacing Series action at Phoenix International Raceway saw tempers flaring, fenders caving, and incident points accumulating. The culmination of a short track, a new build and anxious racers with little in terms of official racing available left the iRacing official pace car in need of its own pit crew. NASCAR XFINITY … Read the Rest »

NASCAR iRacing Series Diary: PIR

March 16th, 2015 by

This week’s Fixed race was very messy. Why?  Well it seems that 156 lap races are too short for some drivers who feel they had to make it three wide on every restart. If you are fast the 156 laps should give you time to move through the field, or so one would think! I … Read the Rest »

Putting the Excitement Back in Restarts

March 13th, 2015 by

While last week’s NASCAR iRacing Series visit to the virtual Las Vegas Motor Speedway produced many splits and some great sim racing, there was an outcry from the community about the need for an overhaul when it comes to restarts in the Gen6 cars. “I have no problem overcoming adversity of my own doing. But, … Read the Rest »
