eNASCAR College iRacing Series Returns for 2024-25 Season

NASCAR, iRacing, and Playfly Sports are pleased to announce the return of the eNASCAR College iRacing Series for the 2024-25 season. Once again, the championship will feature iRacing’s top collegiate oval racers competing across nine events in NASCAR Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series vehicles for their share of a $60,000 scholarship prize pool. In addition, for the first time, the top two racers in the season finale from Homestead-Miami Speedway will earn a guaranteed placement in a series on the path to the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series.

“We couldn’t be more excited to bring the eNASCAR College iRacing Series back for another season,” said iRacing president Tony Gardner. “These races are some of the most exciting and competitive on iRacing, and many of the top College Series drivers are primed for success in our other series as well. We’re especially excited to grant this year’s College Series champion and runner-up guaranteed placements on the eNASCAR Road to Pro ladder.”

“We are excited to continue our partnership with iRacing and Playfly Sports for the 2024-25 eNASCAR College iRacing Series," said Ray Smith, Director of Esports at NASCAR. "With a record number of colleges and universities competing last season, this series highlights the exceptional talent in collegiate racing and offers a unique platform for young motorsport enthusiasts. We look forward to seeing these students compete for scholarships and embrace the new opportunities this season brings.” 

"This series allows students to race on behalf of their schools in officially sanctioned NASCAR events, professionally broadcast on multiple streaming platforms using vehicles and tracks renowned from the real-world racing circuit," said Curtis Winger, VP Esports Operations at Playfly. "We're thrilled to unveil the 2024-2025 season and eagerly anticipate the start later this year."

iRacers will once again have a series of iRacing Time Attacks to attempt to qualify for the first eight events of the season, with 10 days to lay down their best times with each car-track combination. The top 40 eligible drivers will be invited to compete in the A-Main, where they’ll be able to compete for cash scholarships and season-long points, while B-Main and subsequent races will be on the line for those who don’t make the cut. The top 25 point scorers across the eight A-Mains will then be invited to compete in the finale, where the largest share of the scholarship pool—including $10,000 for the race winner—will be on the line.

The previous eNASCAR College iRacing Series season ended with Iowa’s Steven Wilson, already the defending eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series champion, coming out on top last month. Wilson defeated fellow former eNASCAR Championship 4 drivers Logan Clampitt (Cal State Fullerton) and Garrett Lowe (UNC-Charlotte) after leading 71 of the race’s 90 laps from the pole.

The 2024-25 eNASCAR College iRacing Series schedule is as follows:

Once again, races will be streamed on the NASCAR and iRacing Twitch channels, as well as additional iRacing social media networks.
