Back in 2009, iRacing signed a licensing agreement with NASCAR, allowing the subscription-based online racing simulation host official NASCAR-sanctioned online racing.
Now, this agreement has been extended for another six years, running all the way through the 2020 season.
???We???re thrilled NASCAR will continue as our partner and assist in sanctioning our multiple NASCAR iRacing online race series,??? said Tony Gardner, President of iRacing.com. ???From late models and trucks through to the pinnacle of sim racing ??? the NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series Powered by iRacing.com ??? NASCAR and iRacing are committed to delivering a state-of-the-art sim racing experience to race fans.???
???Our renewed relationship falls in line with NASCAR???s strategy to engage our fans across an array of digital platforms,??? said NASCAR Vice President of Licensing and Consumer Products Blake Davidson. ???We???re looking forward to furthering our work with iRacing, developing the world???s most authentic sanctioned online motorsports experience.???
Thanks to featuring the full lineup of NASCAR cars and tracks in iRacing, the simulation’s officially-sanctioned NASCAR series precisely mirrors the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, starting with iRacing’s Daytona 500 this weekend.
