eNASCAR College iRacing Series Race Preview: Dover
February 21st, 2023 by Chris Leone
The eNASCAR College iRacing Series Powered by NACE Starleague heads to Dover Motor Speedway for the second race of its third semester. 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 took the first checkered flag of the spring semester by winning the Logitech G 120 at Iowa Speedway, taking the lead from Daniel Buttafuoco and leading the final nine laps. Clampitt qualified second to UNC-Charlotte’s Garrett Lowe, who led a race-high 51 laps, took the lead for the first time on Lap 114, and hung on through the overtime finish after the drivers who pit for fresh tires weren’t able to carve their way through.
Track Info: Known as “The Monster Mile,” Dover Motor Speedway has been a mainstay of the NASCAR Cup Series schedule since 1969. The high-banked concrete mile is known for punishing drivers, with its narrow straightaways often causing unlucky drivers to get caught up in accidents happening in front of them. Previously an independent track, Dover was one of multiple tracks acquired by Speedway Motorsports in time for the 2022 season
