iRacing Superspeedway is finally here

After a slight delay, iRacing Superspeedway, the fictional high-banked mega-track has finally made it to iRacing. Yes, making laps on this three-mile monster is what’s been keeping us busy this winter.

Just be sure to look out for the … (sigh) glitch.

With the Circuit of the Americas making its first appearance on the NASCAR schedule, it means it’s time for a little offseason prep – on iRacing, of course.

Besides, what else is there to do right now?

Isaac Gann won the latest race last week at Charlotte Motor Speedway, securing him enough points to join the Coca-Cola iRacing Series field in 2021.
