2024-25 eNASCAR College iRacing Series | Championship Race Preview: Homestead-Miami Speedway
April 15th, 2025 by Justin Melillo
The eNASCAR College iRacing Series presented by Playfly College Esports will crown a champion among 25 eligible drivers on Tuesday night. Over the course of the 2024-25 collegiate calendar year, hundreds of college students took on the official Time Attacks for each of the eight events, in hopes to make each A-Main event to score points. Only 25 drivers could qualify for the championship event.
After taking each driver’s four-best finishes, the roster was finalized following the eighth race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. This title race is a winner-take-all event, meaning all 25 drivers enter the evening tied with the same chance to win the crown and a $10,000 scholarship. The University of Iowa’s Steven Wilson will look to defend his title, while Cal State Fullerton’s Logan Clampitt will be looking to add another College Series title to his trophy collection. The University of Maine at Augusta’s Parker White will be aiming for his first title after scoring the most points in the Regular Season.
The action from the Homestead-Miami championship finale will stream live on Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. ET at eNASCAR.com/live and across all of iRacing’s social media channels.
Last Race:
Two weeks ago, the Regular Season for the 2024-25 eNASCAR College iRacing Series concluded in dramatic fashion at Charlotte Motor Speedway. A race dominated by the University of Iowa’s Steven Wilson turned into a late-race strategy call for the University of Calgary’s Connor Yeroschak, who was recovering from an earlier incident. On the final lap, Yeroschak got alongside Wilson into Turn 3. Out of Turn 4, the University of Maine at Augusta’s Parker White made it three-wide. At the line, it was the Dino, Yeroschak, scoring his first career victory.
Last Season:
In the conclusion to the 2023-24 eNASCAR College iRacing Series, 25 hopeful drivers entered with a shot at claiming the title, the same as it will be this season. The main players included Cal State Fullerton’s Logan Clampitt, UNC at Charlotte’s Garrett Lowe, and of course, the University of Iowa’s Steven Wilson. From the pole position, Wilson led the way, lapping the top spot 71 times of the 90 scheduled. UCONN’s Jose Solis Jr led 12 laps during a pit cycle, while Lowe led the remaining seven. At the end of the day, Wilson was able to outlast Clampitt for the title by three seconds in the caution-free event.
Track Info:
Opened in 1995 and reconfigured into its current shape just two years later, Homestead-Miami Speedway has long been a popular venue for American oval racing. The NASCAR Xfinity Series has a lengthy history at the track, with its 1995 season finale serving as Homestead’s inaugural race, and the Cup and Truck Series would soon follow; all three would wrap up their championships at the track from 2002 to 2019, and currently reside on the NASCAR calendar in the Spring during the 2025 season.
