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 »

Touch ‘n Go in Vegas

March 13th, 2015 by

Week 2 of the NASCAR iRacing Series sent us west to another fast 1.5 miler: Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Vegas has never been my favorite track, and I failed to finish last year’s race with a blown engine. Despite not really liking the track, I’m pretty quick around the place, which means we could get … Read the Rest »

Luza Hits the Jackpot

March 11th, 2015 by

This past weekend the NASCAR iRacing Series began its West Coast tour with a stop at Las Vegas Motor Speedway that saw Thursday night’s Open top split taken by Ryan Michael Luza, after passing Tyler Hudson with about 20 laps to go. “Passing TDH was much more difficult than I expected, and it took two … Read the Rest »

Burnin’ Rubber & Cash: Vegas

March 9th, 2015 by

Viva Las Vegas!  I love this town.  There’s always plenty to do, stuff to see, and money to make. Last week, we left Hotlanta with a little over $2.27 million in the bank, a chassis with barely any damage, and a great engine.  We had to repair some sheet metal and most of the more … Read the Rest »

‘Tired’-out in Atlanta

March 5th, 2015 by

This past week the NASCAR iRacing Series visited Atlanta Motor Speedway, a track kind to those who understand one important facet of racing – managing tire wear. Consistently across both the Fixed and Open series drivers’ chatter focused on the impact of tire wear and the difficulty in tire management over the long run. “Took … Read the Rest »

Taking Bumps and Lumps at ‘lanta

March 5th, 2015 by

Week 1 of the 2015 NASCAR iRacing Series season takes us down south to my home track located in Hampton, Georgia! Every year  this is one of the best  races to watch (although I am a bit biased on this topic) and I often go to this race. I sadly wasn’t able to make the … Read the Rest »
