Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – Kansas

• Mike -.  P hadd a first good move forward to be out for the first eight laps and then got disconnected from the Internet. Came back six laps down.
• Rochette P8 sucked at Qual. Put me in the middle of trashy wobbly cars that wanted to wreck in front of me and had no where to go. So with a 49 second meatball and almost 5 minutes optional i just plucked away and got it fixed and made a charge for the front. Just not enough time to get more
• David – P 27 top split, running around 20th.  Late race cautions start, working my way up.  On last start, car in front of me wiggles, I go to outside to pass, then a car on out side either turns down or gets loose and causes me to turn left to avoid.  In the process I hooked the first person that got loose.  At that point I didn’t have time to lift.  This person had a long argument with me.  Think I should have lifted when they got loose in front of me coming to the white, and is wrong.  Still respect the driver, but they want me to take 100 percent  of the blame and are wrong, it was a mixed up hard racing and people wiggling situation.

Sunday Open

• Rochette -P2 still sucked at qual. Almost same result as Friday with trashy drivers and smashing my nose on a spinning car but on just 30 seconds optional. Was fast on the long run. Restarted 3rd for the final gwc and got 2nd and probably could’ve got a dub if we had more laps but isn’t that always the case
• Mackenzie – 
• David – P 29 caution when i was in great position, then everything that could go wrong did, had a guy  bounce off wall and knock me off track, then spun out in restart stack up, then meat balled in 2nd restart stack up.  Its just not a good year

Wednesday Open: Darlington

Mike- p5- had a good run going until I had video black out completely on me on the backstretch and I would come back maybe two seconds later luckily I didn’t wreck but lost a bunch of track position. It happened a few times, but wasn’t critical to the race. Just losing track position.  Eventually it stopped and I started working my way forward, but got turned on the backstretch. The guidance drifted right up until the top lane.  Once again, moving my way forward on the final runs I get up to the top five.

Tom D – p2

Tyler- P22nd. Ran my first ever NIS at the lady in Black. She was a major challenge no doubt. Many stripes on the car but finished with a 4x. Tagged wall off 2 hard and damaged the right front and had to put with 30 to go under green. Was running 15th when it happened. Fun racing with the team.

---

---

Official Series

Ellis– 

• Indycar at old Michigan P2 in hosted Chris McGuire my first race attempt after figuring my Internet. 
• GEN four at Talladega- p2 – ran the top 10 most of the race took the lead on 17 to go on the last run. I ended up in the top lane top  3 wide as we came down to the end of the last lap. I moved to the middle but the guy dodged out on the straight on barely got by me right at the end
• Ran the very next race hunting for the win was leading w 10 to go it was 3 wide most of the race middle lane first car guy on bottom bobbles bumps me I save it but he then hits apron then wipes out whole field… finished 2nd to dead last
• Sprint car at Concorde. Start a 12 out of 16 in the bottom split finished P6. Lots of heavy hitters in the top split strength of field about 4700 PJ Stergios in the room. My arms were aching 
• A car open at Darlington. Started 19th a bunch of early cautions half of a spit it out lap 20 the rest stayed out. We went green 35 laps. After that I ended up P4 at that point.  Stayed in the top five and worked myself up to P2 with a restart with four to go. Got wrecked trying to take a second from third ended up P 14.

League / Hosted Races

MAJORS SERIES  –  Indy

• David – p DNF, failed to complete knockout quali, so went 2nd split, ran well at first, had a car check up mid corner and  I just taped them enough to make my car go sliding up and used up Fast repair, got lap back, and later self spun trying to get back towards the front.  Terrible showing

OBRL Cup

• Brian -P28  Screwed up qualifying and started 34th.  Had some good runs and was fighting for P5 with 8 to go when I was involved in an incident that hit the limit for me, and got DQ’d

to iracerslounge@gmail.com

Hello,

This is Jeremy Mauro from SM-Racing Products. We greatly appreciate you guys discussing our button box on episode 0375 “Natural A.I.”. We listened to what you had to say and made some changes! The newest version of our box (currently live on our website sm-racingproducts.com) is 35mm thinner (slightly above a 40% reduction). We updated our website to include a description of each of the switches and functions they are commonly used for in iRacing so there is no more guessing! We also changed the finish of the faceplate to have a carbon fiber look while retaining the custom text.

Thank you and feel free to share,

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – 

• Mike -.  P P 21 not a bad race was running fourthon a restart with nine to go. The leader jumped. The second guy took off. He decided to stop and spun out. I ended up with a black flag for passing on the inside.
• Rochette P36 everyone thought i was crazy running a race 30 hours after having surgery on my left wrist for carpal tunnel… was feeling good. 4 laps in i moved up to the high side 
•  Just in time for some wrecking that took me out.  
• Greg- pwrecked out?
• Donnie – P22 ran good, caught up in crap at the end with a pack of lap cars that were not considerate with 5 laps to go
•  Justin – p P24, started 4th first half went to plan rode with the front pack green flag pitstop had to check up so i knew i had to hit my pit stop perfect and i did until leaving speeding on pit road. After serving penalty 2 laps down got to 1 lap down but coudnt stay clean to get the lucky dog. Do over plz.
• Mackenzie – p19 was having problems getting my VR to center when it loaded so I did not get to qualify, quickly went 1 lap down after getting wrecked on lap 4, lap 28 got the lucky dog but made a huge rookie mistake and followed everyone into the pits instead of taking my lucky dog lap and got a black flag to put me 3 laps down

Sunday Open

• Rochette -P14 survived til the end where just got rail roaded on a gwc 
• Tom D – p19. Got BF for a restart infraction and never got a yellow to get my lap back. Bummer.  Onto Dover
• Donnie – P16
• Justin- P35, started p2,  I got shuffled to about 10 th last guy in the lead pack the second pack meets up with us and the leader of the second pack decides to change lanes and hit me in the LR tail light and i loose and it the wall. junk
• Mackenzie – 
• David – P wrecked out by late block, no luck this week

Sunday Fixed 

• Mike – p dnf. I was in the front pack at the beginning. i got knocked out into the grass and fell into the second pack. It stayed green until lap 79 restarted ninth a lap later they all wrecked and a huge pile up.   
• Justin- p1 – https://twitter.com/TifosiRacing/status/1650344243523907584 started 13th really didnt do much just stayed clean and with the lead pack came down to a GWC starting 6th. About that time Mr. Mike came in and spotted. Called a heck of a race lead me to the front picked the right lanes got the WIN!
• Tom – Wrecked near the end

Wednesday Open: dover

• Rochette -P19 welp started 5th and stayed in that spot til a lap car couldn’t figure out where he wanted to go and he chose the same direction i was going which resulted in a 40 second meatball. Got it fixed and just plucked away rest of the race 4 laps down. 
• Mike- p3- started 14th and methodically worked my way forward to run as high as P3. I think only two cars pass me the whole night, but I was even able to pass them back.
• Tom D – p5 – started 14th.  Was running upfront with Greg most of the race.  Got crashed on lap 125.  Was able to repair the car and work my way back to 5th.  I’ll take a top 5 after getting that much damage
• Donnie -P9
• Justin – P30, started 25 th, never got farther than top 20. Rough race. Mostly on me just need to learn how to drive dover.

Thursday Open  Ellis -P9 car 35 in top split with pros like Matt Bussa in the race. Started 20th probably marched up to seven then fell back to 21st before blowing or right front on loud 70 heading under green caution came out a few laps later and I’m two laps down and 28 taking a wave around. but really hard for a lucky dog for the next 20 laps, but didn’t get it. Take another wave around with 77 to go back on the lead lap. Then drove up seventh before the next caution restarting tip for the first green white checkers finish P9. Last night top three position gave me 146 championship points finishing ninth in the top split today. Give me 182 points.

Ellis–

Mackenzie

B fixed – p9 – started 9th and quickly learned that you need to save tires at Dover, luckily got a caution and was able to get a new set of tires but couldn’t manage to gain any ground

B fixed – p3 – started 12th in this race but learned from the last race to save tires and ran much better, squeezed through a wreck happening in front of me to move up to 6th place for the restart but saved more tires than the guys in front of me and managed to work myself up to p3

It’s been two full seasons since Bobby Zalenski’s been a winner at any road course, but in the series’ inaugural Monza visit, Zalenski was untouchable, leading all 30 laps from the pole position en route to his second victory in a row on the year.

Zalenski made zero mistakes. He pulled away early from Leahy and the rest of the field, waited as long as possible to pit, executed a perfect pit cycle and maintained the gap through every lap.

Gomex Sim Racing reveals their new ‘entry level’ sim racing gormuls wheel

Introducing the X-29 by GSI! The ultimate entry-level formula wheel for those who demand the best. Packed with features like 3 push button rotary encoders, 2 multi-switches, and 10 white LED buttons, this 290mm, 1.1kg (1.2kg with optional clutches) wheel boasts a one-piece… pic.twitter.com/3XWxLLOHcc

— GSI (@gomezsimracing) April 10, 2023

Jonathan Giakonoski
Looks great and what I’d expect from GSI ~Buuuuuut~
The dual clutch option is uncomfortably close in price to the GRID MPX which has much more functionality, telemetry-driven RGB, and is also their “entry level” (lol). And that’s not even accounting for when their pre-order price was the same as this.
The functionality is just a little bit more than a Polsimer, which is a true entry level wheel at a true entry level price that doesn’t feel particularly entry level in hand. This absolutely deserves to cost more, but not two times more.
Not sure who this is priced for–brand loyalists aren’t looking for an entry level wheel, and it’s only a dub fifty more to upgrade from this to a forever-wheel.

Sunday Open

Mackenzie – P7, started 28th, I wasn’t very fast but managed to survive all 16 cautions for a 7th place finish

David – P9, survived a boring dumb shit show.

Sunday Fixed 

Justin- 1st Place,

Wednesday Open: Martinsville

Justin- P 17 rough race pitted lap 120 put me in the back then just got beat up.

• Mike- p  got hit at one point and had to go to the back ended up hitting that boy which was 1/3 of the way through the race worked my way forward and took the lead with 74 to go. Was able to hold them off all the way to the end with short run into green white checkers by 92nd career wins.  
• David – p 11, another dumb board shit show.  I just don’t get why dudes can’t race here.  Had to run 100 laps on 16x

---

Official Series

Ellis– 

• Indy pro 2000 at road America. Couldn’t get a cue lap in because I didn’t have the force feedback set right I had it way too low, which intern allowed me to turn the wheel more than I normally should once I got the force feedback, right? It really prevents me from turning the wheel too much physically because my muscles aren’t strong enough kind of thing.  Went from 12 to 8 on the first lap but got wrecked out on lap. Six from behind a guy was young drafting catching me and as we approach turn one and I go to break he does plows right in full speed.
• Gen 4 at Daytona I missed a big caution early on by driving Low and Missing it, that put me in the top 10   got to the lead with 20 to go before the Caution came out I got to the lead after the restart, but then got wrecked and sent down through the grass, but fell clear to the back and had three minutes damage. Somehow someway made it back to finish P 11 really fun racing. I ran force feedback at 100% and boy what an impressive example of this wheelbase cockpit and seat. It don’t get no rougher than that. I was just hanging on.
• Ran again it stayed green pretty much until the leader got turned in the High Lane and wrecked the Field nine minutes damage I limp it  home P 19 
• Sprint Car at Southern National – p11 – 30 cars showed up two splits I was bottom split – ran around tenth – caused 2 cautions spinning on my own off 4 – really tough car…

2023 Season 2 Patch 3 Release Notes

Race Control

Fixed an issue where the leader during a rolling restart in a Start Zone could trigger a Jump Start Black Flag penalty on themself.

Auto Fuel

The Auto Fuel Lap Margin limits have been increased to +/- 10.

A label has been added to the Auto Fuel box when there is not yet sufficient fuel data for it to work correctly.

Auto Fuel now appears in a disabled state during the Cooldown, Gridding, and Outlap.

Controls for Auto Fuel in the Options menu have been renamed and are now functional.

Some values for the Auto Fuel system have been added to the [Pit Service] section of the “app.ini” file.

– – autoFuelDefaultEnable= 1 (Enable Auto Fuel by default for Races) or 0 ( Disable Auto Fuel by default for Races)

– – autoFuelDefaultMarginLaps= 1.0000 (Number of Laps of fuel to add as a safety margin by default)

New Damage Model

With the systemic New Damage Model changes released with 2023 Season 2, many vehicles were in a place of unrealistically higher durability. This patch includes a variety of vehicle body panel adjustments that should generally weaken their strengths, and make the cars much more realistic. This Patch completes our post-Season 2 Release assessment for realism and balance for New Damage Model cars that was identified in Patch 2. 

Graphics

The upper limits for both CPU and GPU memory sliders in the graphics options have been increased to 32GB and 16GB respectively.

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – Richmond

• Mike -.  P  5- took the lead on lap 72 and kept it right up  there until the end leading the most laps. I lost the lead with about four to go and got wrecked via NetCode  basically.  The guy from a higher split on an alternate account, came down to our split the winner, which is pretty irritating.
• Rochette- P14 2 days after having a camera shoved in my right knee for a torn Meniscus decided to have some fun at Richmond. Ran with Donnie as we dodged and weaved well we tried. Final gwc started 7th was aiming for a top 10 but my leg mustve twitched or something as i gassed it alittle too much and spun myself out in T2. 
• Stephen- bled. A lot of laps, forgot wreck near the end.  
• David – P school event 
• Tom- came up through the field twice. Finish 10th.
• Joe – lost a couple laps early, but got them back. 
• Mackenzie – p14 started p27 was running pretty well got caught in a wreck and had to fix some damage so ended up a few laps down but still managed a p14

Sunday Open

• Rochette -P3 wasnt the fastest but consistent stayed out and ended up finishing the race on some old ass tires (96 with about 3 or 4 cautions on em) 
• Mackenzie – P20 started p7 ran in the top 10 most of the race. Was up to 2nd around lap 110 and had a guy dive in on the inside from behind me as I was turning to the bottom of the corner and got spun
• David – P10 Top Split.  Good run in a tough field, raced very conservative since didn’t have a good finish in the bank, and had great long run speed.

Sunday Fixed 

• Mike – p dq’d out 4 to go 

Wednesday Open: Bristol dirt

• Rochette -P6 17 cautions for 87 laps. Only got 6x for the about the 135 times i got hit and spun. Even had a guy wreck me and shown his displeasure under caution of hitting me multiple times. Ya the birb will remember 

Justin- P2, started p2, kinda uneventful race, so many cautions. Didn’t fall back more than 5th. Just tried to not get run over.

• Mike- p  qualified P5 and pretty much ran top-five all night long as high as second. Got destroyed on the final restart and spa and finished 11th.
• McKenzie- p
• David – p wRacked out, dirt is dumb, didn’t even go back to see who wrecked me, cause dirt is dumb

• Dallara dash at Pocono. Got wrecked off early.

League / Hosted Races

OBRL Cup

• Brian -P16 Started P21.  Had a decent run going.  Saving tires was key and was able to move up on longer runs.  Was up to 11th when a yellow came out not long after a green flag pitstop, trapping me a lap down.  Got the wave around, but had to start from the rear, making my way back up to 16th

The state of eNASCAR with Elliott Sadler Esports’ Co-Owner Seth Reiter

Before entering the Coke level, ESE was one of the many backend teams running drivers through the ranks to get to the top level. For the first two Coke seasons, it was able to run with drivers in house.

This season, that dynamic has changed as their two team drivers come from another backend team. Reiter was able to collect two drivers from a different backend team, Deadzone Racing, in both Darik Bourdeau and Cody Byus. Despite this, he continues to sit atop the spotter’s stand for Manes in 2023, while also being a coowner for ESE.

“We scaled back and decided we’re not going to build, we won’t be the backend sim team in 2023… we have two drivers that actually don’t drive for us this year.” Reiter said. The former ESE driver, Manes, is currently working with Victory1, other members which include Malik Ray, Kevin King and Joey Brown, all drivers on different teams in the Coke Series.

<<SWITCH READERS>>

Author Justin Mellilo goes on to review the state of the sport with Seth Reiter

“I just don’t think, at the moment, that it’s an entirely healthy esports model,” Reiter said. “The pillars of the series are these backend sim teams that are putting in hours and hours and hours of work to be successful.”

“Those are the guys that nobody talks about, they make this series happen with the amount of time they put in, and they deserve the recognition.”

It’s not just about the drivers, it’s about the whole group behind them, and from what it sounds like, there isn’t enough funding to warrant it all. The promoted official teams get the praise and recognition, but at the end of the day, they’ve been elevated due to the backend teams that put their drivers at the top.

Notes:

What is this series?: This series is essentially a grassroots series that is the backbone of the actual races that take place on the Nordschleife when it isn’t in use for public hot lapping. The series is made up of several motorsports clubs (part of either ADAC or DMV) which each host a 1-off event, totaling nine events throughout the year, and there is a ton of crossover with the Nurburgring 24 (Think Bathurst 12 Hour and Supercars Connection). The series has been run since 1977, and has a primarily German-based driver pool (Hence the use of each of our German brands). The series is pretty all encompassing when it comes to cars, with the 2009 year having 30 classes of cars, though much of the notable cars are from a Touring, GT3, or GT4 background. However, production cars are also allowed, thus creating the grassroots connection.

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – AtlantaDega

• Mike -.  P got wrecked out around lab 25 was running fourth kind a left a half Lane below me the guy takes it below the red and wipes me out. Got four minutes damage fixed I was 10 laps down. Went back out there and drove through the pack at least twice eventually got wrecked with 40 to go in a big wreck.  
• Donnie – P14, Q4 8X
•  Justin – P-24 started pole! did really nothing wrong. We ran clean the first part of the race, green flag stops got shuffled around p10. After that it got a little rough. I was involved in 3 incidents and there was nothing I could do to avoid them. Eventually x’d out.
• Tyler- P5. Wild race starting in the back. Dodged many close calls and had a good time racing teammates Justin and Mike. Made it out alive and with a Top 5. LETS GO BABY! 
• David – P equipment failure, grey screen of death

Saturday Fix AtlantaDega

• Justin- P3, started ninth, stayed up front, hit my marks, pit stall/ restarts. First race i can say that i managed from start to finish.
• Mackenzie – p21 – started pole, p19 – started pole, wreaked in both races

Sunday Open

Donnie – P6, Q2 2X – 88 Lap Green Flag Start 

Brian P 20 – Got stuck in a wreck when the race went green.  Half the field got blacked flagged for passing the pace car and was 4 laps down from the start.  Just stayed out of trouble and got to P20 with no incidents

Justin- P4, car 36 qualified 6, stayed up front eventually stay right next to teammate tom. We were on the same strat. Pitted under green came ran a few laps, Caution got the wave around. Put me back on the lead lap. Eventually worked my way up to a p4. 

Mackenzie – P5 – started 3rd ran a great race staying in the top 10 all race, was p2 right behind the leader pulled away from the pack right about to get the white flag and caution comes out for the gwc, started on the outside lane and got no help from behind, fell back to p5 but will take my first top 5 finish, also had no incident points 

David – P Stuck-  iRacing would not let me leave the pits

Sunday Fixed 

• Mike – p5- ran pretty much top-five all night. Tried to keep the car clean but still had 16 incidence didn’t try to push the issue at the end. Tried to take over top five and got the job done.

Wednesday Open: COTA

• Mike- p    24. I got what I deserved. Got my final 17x on the last lap.  Checkered and black flag at the same time.  
• McKenzie- p DNF – couldn’t keep it on the track, nascars should stay at oval tracks
• David – p14, didn’t take tires, it paid of a little, winner of this 2nd split only got 117 pts
• Kyle P10 After some time away from iRacing to focus on my business, I am back on the track. Started P9. kept it clean for the first 8 laps and then got sloppy and slowly accumulated X’s for off track. Got shoved through the corner of the long straight. But that was the only contact all race for me. Last lap was running 8th and spun on my own trying to accelerate for the long straight. Gave up 2 spots instantly and just brought it home P10.
• Tyler- P10. Track limits are broken at cota. Started in the back and kept digging trying to keep it clean. Finished with a 14x as I was battling to keep 10th at the end. Fun track but the limits really need to be adjusted.

Coke Race – AtlantaDega

• REMINDER: Darik Bourdeau (@Dard2121) is NOT on track tonight after the events at The Milwaukee Mile 2 weeks ago.
• After maybe 10 pace laps we finally get the race started . –
• @RyanLuza  leads Lap 1 by 0.001 seconds over @MalikRayTTV
•  Big pack racing 3 wide lap after lap 8 deep, top 3 break away a bit – luza boes conti – center lane eventually disentigrates, 2 wide now for the pack, breakaway gaining though.
• LAP 6: @KeeganLeahy breaks loose! @BowlinGraham is on the apron! 4-WIDE! And they SAVE IT!

•  A third of the race is gone. @DDuval42 has control of the top. @BigDogBowden leads the bottom. Things look chill for the moment. When will pits be?

• For Derek Justis and Matt Bussa fans – The pair had lost the main pack and were working together, and at lap 31, the #31 went around… no caution but they are both screwed without a yellow.
• Lap 48 – another close call! Somehow they all saved it here but Jimmy Mullis gets the worst of it – He’s now down multiple laps.
• Past halfway and @DDuval42 has been leading for a while – the bottom hasn’t been able to prevail for some time now. Pit stops are imminent. 27 in lead pack at this point

• 36 to go: Green flag pit stops are underway. Looks like about 6 or 7 cars ducked onto pit road.
• These pit entrances are CHAOTIC.
• Commercial breaks right during Greenflag stops – like timing couldn’t of been worse…
• After stops – 17 car pack up front 30 to go – duval bowden ray, kirwin lowe lopez jr lowe leahy manes wilson leahy 
• CAUTION! 25 to go. @BigDogBowden is around! Collin Bowden, Ryan Luza, Kaden Honeycutt involved!!!

• RESTART 21 to go: @JBeavereSports’ @MalikRayTTV and @GarrettLowe_6 lead the field into Turn 1.

• RESTART 10 to go: @swilson3_ and @JordyLopezJr lead the field into Turn 1.
• CAUTION! 5 to go! That’s the 2nd big one of the night.

Cheating in Sim Racing

DrOrzy —

Jimmy Broadbent ask, ” is iRacing seriously the only legit Sim out there currently? I know we can easily be pegged as Fan Boys but just look at the facts. Sure iRacing had its own “Cheating” scandal through Daytona but that was actual drivers and teams doing unethical things it wasn’t people/cheats opening up a 3rd party app to gain more grip or a physics advantage over other non cheating competitors 🤷🏽‍♂️ I know iRacing isn’t perfect but do know they are pretty stringent with Anti-cheat. I hope they use all this current crap as a heads up and even focus harder on this side of things and keep the cheats out 🤞🏽

Is the massive prize money that’s on offer these days the only cause and is it just going to get worse? Do we end up with a scenario where every Joe blow is opening up a 3rd party app tripping over each other to buy cheat hacks instead of setups before joint a race

Kristoffer Dahlstrand —
Prize money is not a major motivator for cheating. All competitive games have cheating problems, real world and digital. When winning becomes more important to a person than how strong their love for the game is when people will cheat. The sad reality of the matter is that the problem is that the world is full of cheaters. It has to do with character and integrity, cheaters gonna cheat.
One good thing that iracing has going for them is their monetization model.

We pay for the subscription which ensure that they have enough staff and resources to take care of our needs.

We also invest more in our accounts so there is more on the line for us both when it comes to racing clean but also when it comes to competing clean.

I must say Im hurt with all those cheating problems in Sims and specially now as it hit ACC as well☹️
I literally caught myself yesterday racing and thinking
"what if that guy ahead cheats as well"🫢
And I dont want to think stuff like that, I havent for years…😭😅

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – Phoenix 

• Mike -.  P 3- I had a great car ran second most of the race got cycled back on pitch strategy and got wrecked but no damage was on a different tire structure strategy then the leader there were too many cautions at the end for me to get back up there I got up to pee three but didn’t have enough laps to catch him. 
• Rochette- P5 had a good car. Missed just a caution fest
• Greg- p2
• Donnie – P29, Q5 DNQ
•  Justin -started p35th, Raced with tyler, team member. i think the very first run we can a 20 run and that was about the lost stint, caution after caution. Mid race, the hooked took front end damage but still had speed. 1 lap down didn’t take long to get on the lead lap. Took all 3 green/white/checkers to finish 11th

Sunday Open

• Rochette -P4 man that was probably the most fun ive ever had at phoenix. Ean in VR for the first time since middle of last year. Didnt have my spotter sound set up so had to pit from 4th on the first caution. Slowly made my way back up front to where i did the only stop i had for tires on lap 90. Ended up leading some laps. Just about everyone pitted about 15 laps after i did and i stayed out. Led some more laps and had a couple of guys pass me on fresh but towards the end of the race i was gaining and passing em back. That was fun. Was fighting for 2nd and 3rd at the end.but screwed up passing em when i mis judged where a car was on my rear and stayed alittle too high not knowing if i was clear or not. That would’ve been for a podium. Good clean racing today now i have 4 top 10s in my nis open at phx in the last 5 years 
• Tom D – p5. Was able to work my way up after starting 25th. Late cautions hurt me as everyone does that land rush restart. But I’ll take 2 top 5s this week
• Donnie – P10, Q12 2X
• Justin- started p18 ran half the race mid pack trying to stay out of trouble but the dog leg bit me locked it up and hit the LF not too hard 3min of damage steering wheel was a little at 11 o’clock still had speed. There were so many cautions everything did get repaired. There were 19 cautions all together with pit cycles that got me up to 6th on the g/w/c. That actually ran clean and stayed in the same spot. Finished 6th
• Mackenzie – P 16 ran pretty well in this race but had a lot of accident problems, worked my way back to the lead lap p11 for the final restart but got rear ended on it and got the black flag for too many incident points

Sunday Fixed 

• Mike – p6- ran top-five pretty much all day as high as second could never get to the leader had old tires at the end and faded a bit. 
• Mackenzie – p11 – was running in the top 5 most of the race, got to the last 15 laps and got wreaked, finished the race down 10 laps but p11

Wednesday Open: AtlantaDega 

• Rochette -P8 man what a shit show i like Superspeedway racing and i like mile Nd halfs but this bastard of a track was not fun
•  Started 5th ended up getting screwed on a restart behind 2nd and fell to the back when he didnt go and i got a train ran on me. Couldnt make it back up front because no one knew how to draft. At the end with 15 to go we had greeen flag stops and i stayed out and bam caution in P3. A wrecked car was slowly taking his time and i had to avoid pit road and try to avoid a BFlag but had to pit under closed and still got a bf.. got it served and another caution came out. With 2 to go on the green was stuck behind lapped cars so never had a shot for a top 10 til the field wrecks at the checkered

Justin- Started P3 stayed in the top 5 about half the race then coming going along the front stretch i was the out side line and the guy that was in p3 threw a really late block caused a bunch of damage 2 laps down 21st

• Mike- p   wrecked out. Took it easy running top 10 all race I eventually took the lead on 30 to go. We’re just riding on the outside with the guy pushing on the bottom floated up into the top lane and destroyed the pack.  
• McKenzie- p13 – took the pole to start the race, lead the first 25 laps then ran top 3 until around lap 60 when i got hip checked and pushed down to the inside wall to get 5 mins req damage, ran back to p13 by the end of the race
• David – p3.  Got in a little trouble early as a guy moved up then changed his mind and came down across my nose.  It didn’t seem to cause any damage though, got separated from main pack but a 2nd line formed well and caught them, was running 22nd.  After green stops, I came out 12th.   Good thing I practiced them.  Then with 17 to go the caution fest started.  Each time I kept surviving or just flat out gaining positions.  Then had to throw a block to protect p3 at the end.

• Late model stock at Lanier. Got wrecked near the end.

• Ellis – GEN four at Michigan – start a 22nd finished P4. 
• De LaraDash at Charlotte- ran the last time Sunday night with the old car as a sendoff and of course got wrecked out
• Dilara Dash at Charlotte with the new car It’s pretty crazy. What is the tires warm-up it sticks in the corners. You only have to breathe the throttle a bit. I spoke with Kevin McCarthy, who is been the king of the series for many years what he thought about it, and he said it was certainly a surprise, but he’s up for the challenge.  Qualified with a 22.93 on Pole lead the most laps finished P4. 
• The Laura Dash at Charlotte. Started fifth I took the lead on lab seven and was able to keep it in, won the race.!

Long Beach Lament 

Porsche Supercup driver Kevin Ellis Jr was not too happy with the decision to race at the Long Beach Street circuit.

What a sad display that was today.

Tracks like that don't belong in a series like #PESC with how the series is structured and how car contacts are dealt with.

Feel bad for the drivers, @iRacing's Premier Road Series should look better than that did today.

Ops, I Made a Gen 4 – The Big Story 

So the build came out Tuesday, by Tuesday night we are hearing word of mouth through the community, hey, go try the ARCA car… Long story short, iRacing mistakenly, according to Greg West, removed the limiter on the ARCA car causing the engine to go from a high of 7000 rpm up to 9700 rpm… Word spread quickly and hosted races popped up organically…

Word spread via social media fast, with lots of very positive input on the car and the situation of this is only temporary until the next patch when they fix it… I could not find anyone with anything negative to say about the situation. It was also perhaps the most interest and genuine enthusiasm for a ‘new car’ in iracing, that I have ever seen. It probably has more to do with the nostalgia of really good racing in those days, where it was 190 on the straights and 160 in the corners…

In my 14yrs of being on the sim, I’ve never seen the community so unified & genuinely excited. It’s an incredible contrast to the norm and I love it. Best “mistake” ever. https://t.co/FRFFPfPyto

Results

NASCAR iRacing Series

Friday Open – Las Vegas

• Mike -.  P running about 10 or so. Got spun by a guy coming. I’ve been to be no damage restart the body to lab 66. Later on I got spot again end of the wall with 30 second shot required in three minutes off. I ended up fixing one minute and staying on the lead lap. Interestingly, I was able to drive it up to the top five fairly quickly and was restart fifth with 20 to go.   Was running really good and then all of a sudden the car got hospital wobble loose, and I fell all the way to 18 right at the end of the race.
• David – p3,  15th after 2 green flag stops,  caution with 25 to go, and was able to haul it.  Oddly at this track I’m  better short run, if I know I don’t have to save.

Justin – started 34th, was the 34, car chose not to qualify, worked his way to 17th coming to green flag stops and that’s when it went downhill from there caught speeding on pit road went 2 laps down and couldn’t catch up after that. P 24

Sunday Open

Brian – P4 Adjusted my car from practice to get the car more stable.  Wasn’t super fast early, but had really good long run speed.  Lead a few laps along the way.  Had a caution with about 15 to go.  Lost a few spots on the restart and gained them back on the long run for a P4. 

Sunday Fixed 

Justin-  started 8th, made it to green flag pit stops running 4th. Then after the field halfway cycled through their pit stops, a yellow flag flew which caused me to be a lap down. Luckily I had the luck dog to put me back on the lead lap. Took it easy for a few laps, another quick caution flew and gained a couple stops on pit road to put me 11th. Then the final green/white/checkered went from 11th to 8th. So finally had a positive NIS

Wednesday Open: Phoenix 

Greg -P wrecked out

Mike- p  6 – had a fast car and we drive forward on most runs. I finally pitted it under green on a long run and sure enough the Caution came out while I was on pit road I was able to take a wave around and stay on the lead lab and drive forward, but I could never really recover from that finished P6.  

Tom D – p4 – started last (of course I didn’t qualify). Was able to work my way up to the top 10 after two long green runs.  Got involved in some bumping a little bit later as I like the high line.  A few late yellow and I’ll take my 3rd top 5 of the season. 

McKenzie- wrecked out early

David – p9, spun early, took 2 cautions to get LD, then cars just kept dying around me.  Survived for p9

Thursday Open  Ellis – started 14th car number 30. Would move forward on the short run but on the long run with fade hard because it was snappy loose ended up P 11 and realize that I had ran the qualifying set. I’m a stupid fool.

---

Official Series

Ellis– 

• Pick up Kup at Phoenix. Got wrecked out.
• Carburetor cup at IRacing superspeedway. 
• Pick up cup at Phoenix finish P4

---

---

League / Hosted Races

OBRL Cup

• Brian -P.34  Started in tenth.  Car was super loose after about 10-12 laps.  Had to run high the whole time.  Stayed in the top 15 until midway when I taped a car exiting turn 2.  Made it back into the top 12 after a few cautions.  Had a couple of scary moments with getting loose until finally, with about 25 laps to go lost it and didn’t recover.
