2024-25 eNASCAR College iRacing Series | Race Preview: Indianapolis Raceway Park

October 8th, 2024 by

The eNASCAR College iRacing Series presented by Playfly College Esports continues its 2024-25 campaign with a second seminar of speed on Tuesday night. This week, 40 collegiate drivers qualified into the A-Main race through the official Time Attack, and will compete for their share of scholarship money and championship points at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.  This time, students will take on the challenge in the NASCAR Craftsman Trucks. The second race of the season will stream live on Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. ET at eNASCAR.com/live and across all of iRacing’s social media channels.

About the Series: The eNASCAR College iRacing Series presented by Playfly College Esports gives college students from the United States and Canada the opportunity to compete for their share of $60,000 in scholarships. Using machines from the NASCAR Xfinity Series or NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, 40 drivers qualify for the event by registering here and posting their fastest lap times in a two-week Time Attack through the iRacing UI. With hundreds of colleges and universities represented in each Time Attack and a limitation on the amount of qualified drivers per school, drivers are competing not only against the greater iRacing community, but also their own classmates, for a spot on the prestigious grid.

Last Race: Two weeks ago, the semester kicked off with racing from the World Center of Racing, Daytona International Speedway. 40 hopefuls put countless laps into qualifying for the A-Main, but when it came down to it, only two drivers remained in the fight for the win coming to the line. George Mason University’s Zach Sprouse held the outside as the pack crashed behind him, but on the inside with the advantage was the now-newly crowned eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series champion, University of Maine at Augusta’s Parker White. The Freshman, White, scored the maiden win in his first start.

Last Season: This is the series’ 21st race, and first trip to Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. In the second race of the season last year, the field took on Charlotte Motor Speedway, also in the Craftsman Trucks, and it was a race that was won by Liberty University’s Austin Farr.

Track Info: Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park is one of America’s premier multiple-use race facilities. Constructed in the late 1950s and opened for business in 1960, the venue has included a quarter-mile drag strip that is home to the NHRA Nationals every Labor Day weekend, a 2.5-mile road course (now inoperative) where Mario Andretti scored his very first USAC National Championship win, and a .686 mile oval that has hosted the “Night Before the 500” USAC midget race along with various USAC midget, sprint car and Silver Crown events and NASCAR races.

Entry List: The following 40 drivers have qualified for tonight’s eNASCAR College iRacing Series race at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park:
