One would be well-advised not to attempt to pigeon-hole Austin Ogonoski.  When it comes to his sim-racing preferences for ovals or road courses, it’s no contest.  The Edmonton resident has nearly six times as many oval (581) as road racing (97) starts on his iRacing resume.  It only follows then that his favorite iRacing track … Read the Rest »
