eNASCAR is the official series of esports events and tournaments hosted by NASCAR, a stock car racing company from the United States. The eNASCAR International iRacing Series was originally envisioned as a way to pit real-world drivers against one another during the pandemic. However, the series has now been brought back for a second edition.
According to NASCAR, the new season will contain a mix of drivers from different NASCAR disciplines, including the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series and NASCAR Pinty’s Series, among others.
Chad Seigler, Vice President of International Business Development and Partnerships for NASCAR, said: “With the support of D-BOX and Digital Motorsports, we’re able to continue growing the sport on an international stage, reaching new fans and showcasing the talent of our international drivers. We’ll also see several new tracks on the schedule, giving drivers the chance to test their skills around the globe.”
