He\u2019s won everything including the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car iRacing Series and even dabbles in other disciplines like Rallycross on iRacing as well. Despite all of that versatility and success, Bergeron has yet to put it all together and win a DIRTcar eSports championship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His quest for a first Tour title started off strong Wednesday night, when Bergeron found the fast way around Weedsport Speedway in a Bicknell Racing Products Big Block Modified, leading flag-to-flag to pick up the win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bergeron led the entire race but not without real-life drivers Nick Cooper and Bryce Bailey shadowing his every move. Cooper was ready for any slight mistake or bobble by Bergeron.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the course of the 50-lap Feature, the surface of Weedsport Speedway changed and so did the racing line. Cooper made up ground running the bottom in Turns 1 and 2 but lost ground in Turns 3-4 as Bergeron was able to keep a lot of speed and momentum around the top. Bergeron rode that wave all the way across the finish line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bergeron crossed the line first with Nick Cooper and Bryce Bailey filling out the podium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2318\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/30162330\/11.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/30162330\/11.png 1920w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/30162330\/11-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/30162330\/11-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/30162330\/11-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/30162330\/11-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/30162330\/11-750x422.png 750w, https:\/\/cdn.dirtcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/30162330\/11-1140x641.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI am kind of mad at myself,\u201d DIRTcar Sportsman Modified driver Nick Cooper said. \u201cI hit the wall pretty hard halfway through that.
