  • And Willie Byron to give the command…

When the green flag drops Casey Kirwain and Vicente Salas lead the field into turn 1
There’s early trouble for Graham Bowlin and Michael Conti. Bowlin gets into the wall and Conti has nowhere to go.
They both save it, but the 48 has some damage for sure.
On lap 6 Matt Bussa moves his way into the top 10
On Lap 11 he is joined in the top 10 by Keegan Leahey and Zach Novac

By lap 12 Matt Bussas has moved his way into the top 5 and is looking good.
Up front Kasey Kirwan continues leading with 12 laps in and 88 to go.
Lap 16 brings out the first caution as Darik Bourdeau and Jimmy Mullis make contact.
Bourdeau gets spun around, but gets no big damages
Malik Ray will lead the field back to green because he didn’t pit, with Casey Kirwan alongside.

They go three wide for the lead on the restart with a new leader on lap 22, Steve Wilson
On lap 31, Mitchel deJong makes his way into the top 5, until… the next caution on lap 34
Three years ago, Zach Novak and Kegan Lehey had a memorably clean finish for the championship,
but this race they can’t avoid contact collecting Bobby Zalenski, Whitt and LaPradd, but no one with serious damage.
Seven cars stay out and the rest pit.

After the restart we see Dylan Ault and Bobby Zalenski battle at the top with Zalenski getting the jump and the lead at Homestead.
On lap 42 champion hopeful Steve Wilson makes his way back into the top 5
At this point Graham Bowlin is the lowest running playoff driver, but he also has the best drop-race to fall back on with an 11th place finish at Bristol
By lap 45 Steve Wilson has done a great job driving his way to the top of the field

Mithchel deJong is not giving up easily, and retakes the lead from Wilson as they go side-by-side on lap 52.
With 40 laps to go there’s a possibility of this becoming a fuel milage race the the end.
With 33 to go, green flag pit stops begin
After the pit cycle the top running order is

  1. Steven Wilson
  2. Casey Kirwan
  3. Colin Keetster
  4. Michal Conti
  5. Mitchel deJong
  6. Femi Olat
  7. Malik Ray
  8. Vicente Salas
  9. Michael Guest

With the laps counting down to 25 to go, Steven Wilson continues to show the way as he looks to win his way itno the championship finale, if he can hold on.
But with 20 to go it’s a new leader as Casey Kirwan Grabs the top spot.
Michael Guest is moving forward and into the third with 11 to go.
With 8 to go Graham Bowlin get by Michael Conti as we watch the live points change in real time until a caution hits with 7 to go, changing everything.
Parker Retzlaff hit the wall on his own, slides down to the infield and brings out a mysterious caution.

Everyone comes to pit road, but Steven Wilson wins the race off pit road after taking 2 tires.
So with the late restart we have the leaderboard as follows…

  1. Steven Wilson
  2. Casey Kirwan
  3. Michael Guest
  4. Collin Keester
  5. Graham Bowlin
  6. Nick Ottenger
  7. Mitchel deJong
  8. Femi Olat
  9. Dylan Duvall
  10. Matt Bussa
    The race is all bunched up with a natural GWC to close out the race.
    A caution comes out right after the restart with Garrett Lowe and Corey Vincent getting involved when Derek Justis went to block and pushed a driver all the way to the apron and got turned and back up into traffic

The playoff picture looks like this, Conti needs to beat Bowlin by eight spots to advance – and it needs to be a third place or better as Bowlin has the 11th place drop in his pocket.
Wilson, Kirwan, Guest and Bowlin lead for GWC#1
Good jump for Wilson on the next restart and trouble comes out again!
Logan Clampitt and Vicente Salas are involved! The 5 went low on Clampitt to make it 5 wide caused him to move up into the guy above, and they pile up
We also now have Nick Ottinger in the mix – If Nick finishes second and Bowlin loses a spot here, he can be in.
GWC number 2 and Wilson gets a good jump again.
We finally get the white flag and Guest tries to run down Wilson, but can’t get to him, Steven Wilson is your race winner! His series best 4th win of the season! Punching his ticket tot the finale at Phoenix

Grahm Bowlin crashes in 4 on the white flag lap when Nick Ottinger runs out of gas into Turn 3 – Graham Bowlin gets knocked out…
BUT he has a P11 to fall back on – He was eight points ahead of Michael Conti – Conti got 6th, he’ll miss by three points The Drop did have an effect.
If there was no drop, Conti would have been in and Bowlin would have been out.

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open: ROVAL

  • Hall – p9, first half of race was more fun as I had close by drivers
  • Greg -wrecked out
  • Mike – qualified p4. Eventually cycle to the lead through Green flag stops. I ended up spinning on my own once and lost about eight seconds of track position and fell back to P5. I gradually made my way back up to P2 at that point he was 10 seconds ahead of me. I drove up to within six seconds of the Leader by the end, P2.

Wednesday Open:  

  • Hall – p wrecked in un avoidable  now down from 4000 to 3300 irating
  • Kyle P – P5 started 7th and fell back fast. Fought a loose car until about lap 70 and then the missile came alive and it was just on rails. Worked my way back from mid 20’s to finish a top 5.

Tony R – P shitty race. Had a horrible set was just loose all over. With 25 to go my car wasnt the only thing that was loose. Stomach was a rumbling and just couldnt hold it so pitted and got out of the rig in record speed. That was fun

  • Mike-p13 – super super loose. The first run ended up spinning and running dead last eventually caught a caution, but still struggled on every runs route. The race where I would spin it falls is the last car in the lead loud with some carnage at the end, I ended up getting a few more spots up to pee 13.  the set certainly did not agree with me. 
  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p11- ran a totally different set and it was completely stable. Much better. We had only one caution it loud 13 I decided to stay out and try to save a set of tires, but then we had no cautions from that point forward I got shuffled at one point back to 24th. Drove it back up to 11th before the first green flag stop. stayed consistent through the second run and ended up running fourth before I had a pit again with 15 to go for fuel and right side only.  car was really fast with just two tires and I drove it back up to 11 from 21st.  got screwed on the fuel strategy kicking myself for that for sure.  
    • Adam – 
    • Steve – 

Rochette – P6 ran a better set and made sure i went to the bathroom before i raced. Led laps early but thightness settled in before the first pit stop. Made adjustments and was just cruising when a dumbass decided he wanted to turn right across my nose and me in the wall. Little bit of damage hindered me being up front so il settle with a 6th



Official Series

  • Ellis – Chris Maguire hosted Kia Optima at Daytona P2. 
  • 87 cars with the Porsche rough cup at Talladega, wrecked out
  • Carof tomorrow at Talladega – wrecked


SPIKER – Nascar B Open – Las Vegas P18

Daytona Track Content Restructure

Beginning with the 2022 Season 4 build, four track layouts will be removed from the [Legacy] Daytona International Speedway – 2008 package and moved into the paid Daytona International Speedway package. These 2008 layouts include Oval, Road Course, Moto, and Short. As a result the Daytona International Speedway package will combine for a total of nine configs (Oval, Road Course, NASCAR Road, Moto, Short, Oval – 2008, Road Course – 2008, Moto – 2008, Short – 2008).

The Rallycross configs that used to be part of the [Legacy] Daytona International Speedway – 2008 package (Rallycross Short and Rallycross Long) will not be affected by this change and will remain as included free content with an iRacing membership. This package will be renamed to Daytona Rallycross.

iRacing will also be adding multiple pieces of all-new content to its list of included cars and tracks for members in coming builds.

USF2000- Indy Pro 2000 Series Adjustments

With the launch of Season 1, 2023, we will be making some format adjustments to these 2 series. The goal for these format updates is to provide clarity to the North American open wheel ladder while also promoting an increase in participation.

USF2000 will also be switching to the normal every other hour schedule format with the Indy Pro 2000 running opposite hours. This will make it much easier to back to back these races.

The most prominent change will be the alignment of both series schedules moving forward. Both series will run the same tracks on the same weeks mirroring the real world “Support Series” format. We are also adjusting the scheduling guidelines to require 2 ovals and 10 road courses. Our team will be working with the community managers of both series in the coming weeks to form a plan on how the community will vote for schedules. 

Other minor changes will be that both series will be lap based moving forward. We will still target 15 minute races for the USF2000 series while targeting 25 minute races for the Indy Pro 2000 series. USF2000 will continue to use fixed setups while the Indy Pro 2000 will remain an open setup series. 

We will also be announcing an updated naming convention for the series to make it more apparent that they are supporting one another.

What can iRacing do to invigorate the Porsche Mission R series?

I bought it from day one, it’s certainly different and the quali mode is spectacular.

But the series is practically dead, half the sessions don’t even make it to a legitimate field. Has this happened before with iRacing/new car content?

Is there anything they can to increase participation numbers? Or has it fallen flat by iRacing standards?

  4. Whats Story behind COT Scan? He basically had Tony jr send over a hendrick car no questions asked, and he just had iracing scan it, no permission was seeked from Rick, or Chevy, or anyone, we just scanned it… I had to get motor torque info through ‘back channels’ so to speak….
  5. What Does It Mean to You to still race as a member in special events? This is my passion its all the free time that I have… When I am in a race I want the same experience as all the other drivers… The pool of drivers has gotten so much larger i have been relegated to a mid pack status….

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open: Tally

  • Rochette P20 had a dipshit stop before pitroad when i was pitting giving me a passing under yellow and just couldn’t get my lap back
  • Greg – wrecked out 
  • Donnie – P8, Q4
  • Mike – dnf- had a great race actually led. The most laps was leading on the outside with three to go had a guy behind me. That said he was going to stay with me via private message on the back stretch going into three he decided to go low and leave me out, and when he did he got hooked by the guy on the bottom and a wrecked us all. 
  • Sunday Open
    • Rochette –P4 hung out with a couple of guys that we just stayed 1-3 whole race tried to make a move on last lap lost a spot
    • Hall – p8,  to few cars could make the low line fast, so every restart was a race to the wall
    • Steve -p21 Started 31st ran in the back most of the race got up to 3rd around lap 86 and tried to avoid a wreck and got doored by my poor decision to split 2 cars and ended up with a black flag by going thru the grass on the front stretch and going thru the pits.  Ended parking it be a lap down and not able to make up any spots so I didnt get any more incident points on the final 4 laps.
  • Sunday fixed 
    • Mike -p20 – Ran top 5 and led some laps, early on we had a great 7 car break away 4 second lead, then after gf stops, 11 second breakaway…eventually cautions started happening and i got involved but little damage – kept working my way up but got completely destroyed on the white and could not finish.
    • Tyler p30
    • Steve p12 – Started 27th went 2 laps down after entering closed pit.  Mike said keep going, got the 2 laps back.  Led the last two laps with a crash with one to go and the caution came out.  Ended up getting wrecked on the white flag lap in a 4 huge crash and my car was so damaged I couldnt make it across the start finish line.

Wednesday Open:  Charlotte

  • Hall – p 17, Top split, only got my spots on survival
  • Ellis – started P 14. Got to p eight by the end of lap one.  eventually I got to p five by lap 13. I barely touch the wall and it killed the car. He would not roll at all head to toe to pit lane.  Eight minutes Required damage came back out with eight laps down about 20th work my way back up to 16th.
  • Thurs Open  
    • Ellis – p1 – qualified p4- got to third pretty quick and battled with second all the way to the pitstop. I got by him right before the stop.  meanwhile the leader, who had gapped us, crashed out and wrecked. After pitstops I inherited the lead with a 14 second gap. Was able to maintain the gap until the end of the race. So that’s three NASCAR wins this year Bristol, dirt, Atlanta, and Charlotte Roval…. My 86 career win 

Official Series

Ellis – F2000 Lanier. Was running P8 moving forward. When I got tagged from the inside and spun, with no cautions, I fell back to 12Th. Then a few laps later somebody spot in front of me and came back across the track and collected me and broke off both front corners of the car DNF.

Skip barber at Mount panorama. Bathurst.  Rect in qualify not enough time to even try again. Started P6 eventually got to P two and was within 2 1/2 seconds of the leader when I caught a lap car, and he basically stopped right in front of me, and I drove right through him. Dnf.
