Background

iRacing is an online sim racing video game developed and published by iRacing Studios in 2008. In 2010, iRacing and NASCAR formed a partnership to host what is now the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series.[2] 2026 is Coca-Cola's seventh season as the title sponsor of the series.[3]

Qualification

A new qualification procedure was introduced for the 2026 season. Instead of a year-long season of the Qualifying Series, the series has been shortened and will now use all three National series (Cup, O'Reilly, and Trucks) cars. The top 30 in series points, as well as the top two finishers in the eNASCAR College iRacing Series will enter free agency with the top 20 finishers from the 2025 season. The Qualifying Series season started on February 10 and ended on April 28.[4][5]
