eNASCAR College Series: 40 finalists compete in Peachtree Pursuit
The eNASCAR College iRacing Series presented by Logitech G concludes its opening tournament on Wednesday at EchoPark Speedway, with 40 collegiate competitors vying for $3,000 and championship points.
The Peachtree Pursuit, the first tournament of the 2026–27 eNASCAR College iRacing Series, reaches its final stage on Wednesday, 30 September at 7:00 p.m. ET. After 100 collegiate competitors from across the United States and Canada contested qualifying rounds last week, 40 drivers have advanced to the decisive Final round at EchoPark Speedway, the 1.54-mile oval located south of Atlanta in Hampton, Georgia.
The Final will consist of a single 100-lap race featuring cautions for the first time throughout the tournament. The winner will secure $3,000 and a substantial allocation of points toward the overall Student Championship. Wednesday's event also marks the debut of the School Championship, with 10 eligible schools and their representatives competing for honours.
Qualifying drivers earned their spots through Time Attack sessions and bracket-style competition across two groups in the opening week. Connor Trifari of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte topped Group 1, while Connor Yeroschak of the University of Calgary claimed Group 2 victory in his title defence. The 40 finalists represent institutions including Arizona State University, Purdue University, Rutgers University, and the University of Michigan, among others.
Drivers compete using NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series vehicles in the iRacing simulation. The series offers $60,000 in total scholarships across its tournaments. Coverage of Wednesday's Final will stream live at eNASCAR.com/live and across iRacing's social media channels.
The next tournament, the Queen City Crown at Charlotte Motor Speedway, opens its Time Attack qualifying on 29 September and runs through 4 October.
