December 22, 2020

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.

@nascarcasm’s ugly Christmas sweater paint schemes

Someone needs to take iRacing’s new 3D car viewer away from NASCAR.com’s finest contributor ASAP.

NASCAR Heat Holiday 60 in the books

Wood Brothers Gaming’s xX_Fluffy_Xx2 (Cody Giles) took home the checkered flag — barely — over Richard Childress Racing’s Sloppy_Joe_YT (Joey Stone) on PS4. Justin Brooks of JTG Daugherty Racing won on Xbox One.

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.

Majeski wins virtual Snowflake 100
