eNASCAR College iRacing Series Race Preview: Playseat 100 at Nashville
November 29th, 2022 by Chris Leone
The eNASCAR College iRacing Series Powered by NACE Starleague wraps up its second semester tonight at Nashville Superspeedway with the Playseat 100. 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: Built and opened in 2001, Nashville Superspeedway was a staple of the NASCAR Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series schedules for its first decade of existence before its sudden closure in 2011. Just as quickly as it disappeared, though, it returned to action in 2021—this time adding the NASCAR Cup Series for the first time. Nashville is a unique entity on the NASCAR calendar; its 1.33-mile length is shorter than most other tri-ovals, while its concrete racing surface makes it the longest track on the Cup Series calendar not to be paved with asphalt.
