Coming on the heels of a successful year across NASCAR‘s fast-growing esports platform — the sanctioning body is today announcing an all-new eNASCAR series that will place a spotlight on the stars of its three international racing divisions across Europe, Mexico and Canada.The new series — entitled “the eNASCAR International iRacing Series” — will consist of three races at historic facilities — Brands Hatch, Circuit of the Americas, and the Daytona Road Course — live-streamed on eNASCAR.com/live at 6pm EDT/12am CET for a worldwide audience on consecutive Wednesday nights beginning June 23rd, 2021.
The field will contain an even mix of drivers from the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, NASCAR Peak Mexico Series, NASCAR Pinty‘s Series, and select drivers from NASCAR‘s 2021 Drive for Diversity class.
“Each day, NASCAR teams and drivers across the world are turning to iRacing as a means to both keep their driving skills fresh and learn new race tracks. As our three international series rapidly expose NASCAR to new fans around the globe — this series will be the perfect platform to bring our stars from Europe, Mexico, Canada and beyond together on one stage to compete for worldwide bragging rights,” said Chad Seigler, vice president of international business development, NASCAR.

It‘s a thrill to be able to combine that with our incredible relationship with NASCAR and put on this three-race series that reflects NASCAR‘s continued international growth. These races should make for a thrilling show, and we can‘t wait to drop the green flag!”
