eNASCAR College iRacing Series Race Preview: DBOX 100 at Michigan
March 21st, 2023 by Chris Leone
The eNASCAR College iRacing Series Powered by NACE Starleague continues its third semester with a trip to Michigan International Speedway for the DBOX 100, the third of four rounds in the campaign. 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.
Last Race: Saddleback College’s Logan Clampitt is two-for-two on the semester thanks to a win at Dover Motor Speedway last month, leading 82 of the race’s 100 laps from the pole to take the victory. Although he pitted under the sixth caution of the race, Clampitt sliced his way through the field and regained the lead from Daniel Faulkingham on lap 84. Clampitt looks to join Steven Wilson, who accomplished the feat last year, as drivers to complete a perfect College Series semester with four wins in four starts.
Track Info: Opened in 1968, Michigan International Speedway has been a mainstay of the NASCAR schedule since the end of that decade. One of the fastest tracks in the sport, the two-mile oval is one of a select few where drivers have been able to reach speeds of more than 200 miles per hour. This year, the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and ARCA Menards Series will head to Michigan on the first weekend of August for their lone visit to the Irish Hills.
