Floyd Wins at I-55 in Second Career Street Stock League Start

by

For the fourth time in four races, a new face has graced DIRTcar eSports Street Stock League Victory Lane.

Last Wednesday night, the Iowan conquered the Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55, winning separate battles with League regulars Isaac Salas and Kyle Jared in the second half of the 35-lapper to score his first DIRTcar eSports Feature win in only his second career start.

From seventh on the grid, Floyd advanced to sixth before the first caution flag was displayed on Lap 7. When the field went back to green, Floyd went on a spree, climbing sixth to the lead in six laps around the virtual 1/3-mile oval. Salas, the outside polesitter, took the lead back on Lap 14, while Floyd slipped back to second.

For the next seven laps, Salas and Floyd engaged in a merciless battle for the top spot, going side-by-side before Floyd edged ahead on Lap 21. A bit of beating-and-banging erupted in the process, inciting some frustration.

“I tried to give him as much room as I could on the bottom, because he had the line,” Floyd said in the DIRTcar eSports Twitch post-race interview. “Obviously, (at I-55), it’s on the bottom. So I figured I was giving him enough room that he could still do it, but he kept driving into my left-rear.

“But, it’s how anybody would be if they were racing for the lead. If someone’s gonna keep driving into you, you’re gonna say something, obviously. It was a good race with him.”

After the final restart on Lap 24, Floyd grabbed the lead and led the remaining 11 laps, holding off a hard charge from 11th-starting Kyle Jared to seal the victory.

CHOMPED THE CHAMP: Caudell Passes Defending Champion Jackson Late to Win at Bristol

by

Cruise Caudell made it three first-time winners in three races to open up Season 5 for the DIRTcar eSports Street Stock League Wednesday night, passing defending champion Tyler Jackson in the closing laps to take the lead and the $100 victory at iRacing’s dirt-covered Bristol Motor Speedway.

Caudell, the House of Speed team driver from Hiawassee, GA, asserted his dominance around the half-mile throughout the two-round program, winning the first Preliminary Round Feature over Grady Ehrman and Daniel Stiffler and leading the transfer cars into the Final Round.

After turning the second-fastest lap in Qualifying, Caudell tucked-in behind polesitter Jackson through the opening circuits and nearly made the pass for the lead on him on Lap 6, but was forced back to second after an untimely caution flag was displayed before the leaders came back around to complete the lap.

“I thought I had gotten around him there for a little bit, and right when I was door-to-door with him, the caution came out and my heart sunk,” Caudell said. “Luckily, we were able to pull it off and come out with the win.”

Jackson led the field around for the next 13 laps and multiple restarts before Caudell was able to threaten for the lead again, which he did on Lap 19. Using the extreme low side of the banking, Caudell was able to dig-in underneath Jackson and nose ahead for the position at the start/finish line to take the lead, and soon after his first career DIRTcar eSports Feature victory.

ONE START, ONE WIN: Hopkins Wins in Street Stock League Debut at Eldora

by

Surviving one of the most intense, lap-after-lap battles in DIRTcar eSports history, Drew Hopkins bagged his first career Street Stock League victory Wednesday night at Eldora Speedway. The former World of Outlaws championship series racer from Kentucky out-paced a relentless Kyle Jared and Johnny Ratley over 30 laps to claim victory in his first career start with the League.

Though he led 19 laps after starting on the pole, Hopkins did not have an easy path into the Final Round. He placed 11th in his Preliminary Round Feature after starting P5, narrowly making the cut into the main event with the penultimate transfer position. But, he turned it on in Final Round Qualifying, laying down the fastest lap overall at 19.520, giving him the pole position on the starting grid.

Hopkins encountered heavy competition early on from Preliminary Round Feature #2 winner Kyle Jared, swapping the lead back-and-forth several times over the course of the race. But Hopkins came out on top in the end, staying strong on the final restart in the closing laps to keep Jared at bay and seal the $100 victory.

“I’ve just got to thank Kyle for racing me clean there,” Hopkins said in the DIRTcar eSports Twitch post-race interview. “I knew early we had a little bit of contact, but that was fun. I knew that one restart with about six or seven-to-go there, he could’ve had me, and I told him when the yellow came out that I got lucky.

“I’ve just got to thank him for a clean race. All-in-all, I had to work for that one, but it was fun.”

Jared crossed the stripe in second with Ratley right behind in third, while Billy Northcutt scored his best League finish in fourth and Shawn Hayes rounding out the top-five.

FIRST ON THE FIRST: Carlisle Wins First Career Feature in Season 5 Opener at Volusia

by

Adam Carlisle’s first career DIRTcar eSports victory came in the Street Stock League opener for Season 5 at Volusia Speedway Park last Wednesday night, narrowly escaping a non-transfer into the main event early on to come back and score the win in the Final Round program.

Carlisle, of Hobart, IN, recovered from a 19th-place starting spot in the Preliminary Round session #2 Feature to 12th by the checkered flag, taking the last transfer spot with him into the Final Round. A sixth-fastest lap in Qualifying there put him sixth on the starting grid for the 30-lap Final Round Feature, where he stayed up front the entire race, putting himself in the hunt for the lead in the closing laps.

When frontrunners Carl Kilgore and Cruise Caudell made contact after crossing the stripe with two laps left, the door opened for Carlisle to sneak by on the bottom and take the runner-up spot. Kilgore crossed the start/finish line first but was given a 30-second black flag penalty for the earlier contact, handing the win and the $100 check over to Carlisle.

“I just started racing again in January after a really long, several-year lay-off,” Carlisle said. “I’ve been putting in some work and practicing, and I’ve got some great teammates that help me. I certainly appreciate that, and it’s pretty cool for the first time out.”

Kilgore’s black flag penalty was later reversed to a two-position penalty upon review of post-race replays, leaving him with a third-place finish in the final results. Caudell finished second, while William Hargreaves and Keith Hackney rounded out the top-five.

Street Stock League highlights to be aired prior to iRacing World of Outlaws Carquest Sprint Car broadcasts

The DIRTcar eSports Street Stock League returns to action this winter with an all-new 10-race schedule, new broadcast platforms and a special collaboration with iRacing to bring the biggest Dirt Street Stock stars into the spotlight.

NEW BROADCAST PLATFORMS
DIRTcar eSports Season 5 will operate the Street Stock League every Wednesday at 7pm ET from Nov. 23 through Jan. 25, paying $100 to the winner and at least $10 to all 24 Feature starters. Beginning with the season opener at Volusia Speedway Park, each race will be broadcasted live on the DIRTcar eSports Twitch, DIRTcar Racing Facebook and YouTube channels with announcers Dylan Coyle and Chase Raudman – both World of Outlaws on-air talent.

Race highlights from each Street Stock event will then appear on the iRacing broadcast network the following Monday night before each iRacing World of Outlaws Carquest Sprint Car Series event, giving those drivers the chance to race and represent their sponsors in front of the widest live audience in dirt sim racing.

The iRacing World of Outlaws Carquest Sprint Car Series returns this winter season with a 10-race schedule of their own, featuring a full roster of the best virtual dirt track racers in the world competing weekly for thousands of dollars in prize money. The championship chase begins with the season opener at Volusia on Monday, Nov. 28, live on the iRacing Twitch channel at 9pm ET.

NEW SCHEDULE
To create a support division-like broadcast experience, the Street Stocks will follow the iRacing World of Outlaws track schedule, starting with Volusia on Nov. 23 and ending at The Dirt Track at Charlotte on Jan. 25. All 10 races will award drivers points toward the League championship standings, which will award the podium points finishers with commemorative trophies at season’s end.

Season 5 Street Stock League Schedule:
Race 1 – Nov. 23 at Volusia (30 laps)
Race 2 – Nov. 30 at Eldora (30 laps)
Race 3 – Dec. 7 at Williams Grove (30 laps)
Race 4 – Dec. 14 at Bristol (30 laps)
Race 5 – Dec. 21 at I-55 (35 laps)
Race 6 – Dec. 28 at Fairbury (35 laps)
Race 7 – Jan. 4 at Cedar Lake (35 laps)
Race 8 – Jan. 11 at Knoxville (30 laps)
Race 9 – Jan. 18 at Weedsport (35 laps)
Race 10 – Jan. 25 at Charlotte (35 laps)

NEW FORMAT, POINTS ELEMENT
A six-car invert has been added to the Heat Race format, flipping the top-six starters according to Qualifying times for each Heat lineup. The fastest six drivers in Qualifying will be rewarded with bonus points, on a scale of 10-to-five, toward the championship standings, making it possible for one driver to potentially earn a maximum of 85 points in one event should they post the quickest Qualifying time and win the Feature.

The traditional iRating cap associated with the Street Stock League has also been removed for Season 5, enabling drivers with any iRating (and a license class of A or below) to compete in the League.

REGISTRATION
Registration for the DIRTcar eSports Street Stock League is now open at the link below. Participants can sign up for individual races at $10 per event or select the PLATINUM option to register for all 10 races and chase the championship title for a discounted fee of $90.

TRIP OF A LIFETIME: Dylan Yeager Scores Trip To 50th Super DIRT Week After 50-for-50 eSports Classic Victory

by

NAPA Super DIRT Week will make history in less than two weeks with its 50th Running at Oswego Speedway. However, one historic moment was already made for the event Tuesday night by a young iRacing driver.

iRacing pro driver Dylan Yeager, of Hamilton Township, NJ, captured his first career DIRTcar eSports victory in the inaugural Super DIRT Week 50-for-50 eSports Classic, winning a trip to be honored at the 50th Running of NAPA Auto Parts Super DIRT Week, Oct. 3-9.

Yeager was awarded the grand prize package – an authentic Super DIRT Week experience that includes two weeklong passes to the event, a hotel room reservation, travel reimbursement, and a 1-of-1 custom winner’s trophy that will be presented on stage during the Friday Night Lights portion of Super DIRT Week on Friday, Oct. 7.

“It’s gonna be so awesome, I can’t believe it,” Yeager said. “This is so cool, it’s gonna be such a cool event.”

Yeager crossed the stripe almost 1.5 seconds ahead of the field in a dominating victory.

His path to Victory Hill at the virtual Weedsport Speedway almost ended early, however, as Yeager nearly reached iRacing’s incident point limit of 12x in Preliminary Round Feature #1 – which, if reached, would have disqualified him from competition. But he held it together in the closing circuits of the 30-lap event and drove his #48 Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modified the remaining distance without incident to finish P5 and qualify for the Final Round.

From there, Yeager dominated. He turned the fastest lap in Final Round Qualifying to claim the pole for the 50-lap Feature and proceeded to put on a clinic, leading all 50 laps to score the win and the richest prize in DIRTcar eSports history.

“It’s awesome,” Yeager said. “It took so long to win a DIRTcar-sanctioned race for me, and it feels great. To do it in these cars… I love racing these things.”

Yeager will be attending Super DIRT Week with his father, and was emphatic about what he’s looking forward to the most.

“Just going there, meeting new people and checking out the racing,” Yeager said. “The track is awesome, I’ve seen videos from there, and I’m hoping this will be a cool event to go to. I’m excited.”

Fellow iRacing Pro license driver Tyler Ducharme, of Bomoseen, VT, climbed from seventh on the starting grid to finish second – his best career DIRTcar eSports finish – and collected a $200 prize. Preliminary Round Feature #1 winner Robby Swan, of Oswego, NY, rounded out the podium and collected a $100 check for his efforts.

Each of the top-10 finishers received a complimentary pass to watch the 50th Super DIRT Week on DIRTVision in addition to their cash prizes.

Race fans can watch the 50th Super DIRT Week on DIRTVision as well, starting with a day of practice for all divisions on Wednesday, Oct. 5, at 1:45pm ET.
