inRacingNews Challenge Re-Summits

May 30th, 2013 by

The inRacingNews Challenge mixed-class series visits West Virginia’s Summit Point Motorsports Park four times in several unique configurations during 2013 S2.  In Week Two  drivers experienced Jefferson Reverse which is the shortest track layout at the Park and this week the series headed back to Summit for another round in its “Short” configuration.  This 1.46 … Read the Rest »

iRacer Profile: Steve Burnett

May 29th, 2013 by

Steve Burnett is one of those good guys in the NASCAR iRacing.com Late Model Series. Not necessarily the fastest driver on track or even the most experienced, Steve always manages to make his presence known in some way.  After I had asked for help in getting visuals and strength of field results from competitors, Steve … Read the Rest »

Get to Know: Brandon Buie

May 28th, 2013 by

For this week, I interviewed Brandon Buie, a Pro Series-licensed driver who has been on iRacing since December of 2012. Brandon has been sim racing since the days of NASCAR Racing 2, over a decade ago. Based on his iRacing statistics, it’s safe to assume he learned a thing or two about sim racing from … Read the Rest »

Red Sox Paddock Hill 30 at Brands

May 27th, 2013 by

Don’t be fooled by the clear skies and umbrella-less grandstands – rain would play a factor for a few of the competitors during the race. Rainfall between qualifying the race sessions did little to dampen the spirits of an enthusiastic crowd, or even delay the race thanks to quick work by officials and track safety … Read the Rest »

Unfamiliar Territory

May 27th, 2013 by

You’ll have to look long and hard on the oval side of iRacing to find a series in which Tyler D Hudson’s name is not writ large on the roster of past champions and race winners.   That’s hardly surprising for an iRacer with more than 1100 wins to his credit and some three dozen top … Read the Rest »

Q:     How long have you been sim racing? A:    My first racing game was Super Monaco GP on Sega Mega Drive, later Ridge Racer Type 4 and Gran Turismo on PSX. I played all games of Gran Turismo, but GT5 disappointed me a lot in terms of simulation. Trying to look for a PC … Read the Rest »

Exceeding Expectations

May 23rd, 2013 by

Round Two of the 2013 iRacing.com World Championship Grand Prix Series at Interlagos produced a noteworthy “first” when Stephen Michaels disconnected from the event.  While it’s not unusual for a driver running a lap down in P30 to withdraw from a race, the fact it was the first time Michaels failed to finish in the … Read the Rest »

My First Time… a Late Models Virgin

May 22nd, 2013 by

Since I started covering the NASCAR iRacing.com Late Model Tour for inRacing News, I have found it difficult to get content from racers for my articles as many of the Late Model regulars were unaware the series is being covered (despite regular posts to that effect on the Late Model forum – Ed).  So I … Read the Rest »

Circle Track School: Lessons From A Champion

May 22nd, 2013 by

The great thing about going to the local short track is that you’re never really sure who is going to show up, and especially so when it’s a special event. Here in Pennsylvania, my local track, Selinsgrove Speedway, hosted their annual 358/360 Sprint Car National Open last week, drawing several touring drivers as well as … Read the Rest »
