eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series Returns to NASCAR Hall of Fame for October 1 Championship Finale

For the third time in series history, NASCAR and iRacing are pleased to announce that the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series will return to the NASCAR Hall of Fame for its 2024 season finale on Tuesday, October 1. Drivers Steven Wilson, Parker White, Graham Bowlin, and Bobby Zalenski will compete live from Charlotte for the $100,000 champion’s prize, while NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr., the first race winner in series history, will be on hand to award the series championship trophy that bears his name.

“NASCAR is thrilled to once again bring the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series Championship to the NASCAR Hall of Fame,” said Ray Smith, Director of Esports at NASCAR. “This event has become the defining moment of the season, where virtual racing meets real-world motorsports at one of NASCAR’s most iconic venues.  We’re eager to see which driver will rise to the challenge and make their mark on eNASCAR history.”

“Since we debuted at the NASCAR Hall of Fame two years ago, our live championship finale has been the high point of every eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series season,” said iRacing executive vice president Steve Myers. “We couldn’t be more excited to have Dale on hand to award the trophy that bears his name to this year’s champion, and we’re excited to see which of the Championship 4 drivers will forever etch their name into the eNASCAR record books.”

“The NASCAR Hall of Fame is honored to again serve as the presenting sponsor and host location of the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series season finale,” said Winston Kelley, NASCAR Hall of Fame Executive Director. “Our team takes great pride in hosting key NASCAR events throughout the year, and our realistic iRacing simulators are among the most popular of the many interactives we have at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, making this partnership a perfect fit. The energy and excitement the eNASCAR Coca-Cola Series live championship finale brings is amazing and is one of the ‘can’t miss’ items on my calendar each year.”

As in past years, both the pre-race Countdown to Green show and race broadcast itself will be based live in Charlotte, with numerous NASCAR and iRacing personalities on hand for the event. The host track in-sim will be Homestead-Miami Speedway, home to some of the most thrilling championship battles in eNASCAR history.

Wilson (M80 Esports) is the defending series champion and the only driver to have made all three trips to Charlotte since the live event debuted in 2022. Both Zalenski (Joe Gibbs Racing) and Bowlin (Kansas City Pioneers) were also on hand for that 2022 event, while White (Williams Esports) makes his first Championship 4 appearance after winning the series’ most recent event at the virtual Phoenix Raceway.

The eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series broadcast kicks off with an extended Countdown to Green pre-race show at 7 p.m. ET before drivers take the green flag at Homestead at 8 p.m. Fans can stream live at eNASCAR.com/live and across NASCAR and iRacing social media channels.
