eNASCAR College iRacing Series Race Preview: Coca-Cola 80 at Charlotte Roval
November 8th, 2022 by Chris Leone
The eNASCAR College iRacing Series Powered by NACE Starleague continues its second semester tonight with the Coca-Cola 80 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval. The race will stream live on Tuesday at 8PM ET on eNASCAR.com/live and across iRacing social media channels.
About the Series: The eNASCAR College iRacing Series gives college students from the United States and Canada the opportunity to compete for their share of $60,000 in scholarships. Using the NASCAR Xfinity Series cars, 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 well over 150 colleges and universities represented in the first Time Attack of the season and only one representative per school, drivers are competing not only against the greater iRacing community, but also their own classmates, for a spot on the prestigious grid.
Track Info: While Charlotte Motor Speedway has long been a staple of NASCAR competition—it is the home track for most of the sport’s top teams, after all—use of the Roval is a relatively new development. In January 2018, it was announced that the track’s fall NASCAR weekend would shift off its 1.5-mile tri-oval and begin using a newly redesigned infield road course. Roval weekend has been a staple of the NASCAR Playoffs ever since, with a big win or crushing loss at the track sometimes making or breaking a season for the sport’s biggest names.
