Sometimes informally referred to as the 2012 NASCAR iRacing Drivers World Championship, the 2012 NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship was the 3rd season of the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series. The season started at Daytona International iRacing Series on February 21 and concluded at Homestead Miami Speedway on October 2. This was the last season to utilize the Generation 5 NASCAR Cup Series car, nicknamed the COT.

Drivers

Each week, the top 43 World Championship license drivers based on qualifying times were guaranteed a place in the race field. In addition, any 3.0 or above Pro Series license drivers were also eligible to qualify for each race. If under 40 NiSWC drivers registered to race, the NiPS 3.0 or above drivers would be eligible to race based on qualifying times. This roster only contains Pro Series License drivers who successfully qualified for at least one race.

Schedule

The 2012 schedule was the first not to be 18 races long, as the season was cut down to 17 races. Daytona International Speedway was the season opener again, and Homestead Miami Speedway hosted the finale race for a second-straight year. Bristol Motor Speedway, Martinsville Speedway, and Talladega Superspeedway were removed from the schedule following 2011. Phoenix International Raceway was moved from the second-to-last race of the season to Round 2 and Chicagoland Speedway was given a second race.
