2021 eNASCAR Contender iRacing Series ↓

The 2022 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series was the 13th season of the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series. The season started with an exhibition race at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on February 1 and concluded at the Phoenix Raceway on October 25. Drivers competed for a prize package of $330,000 (USD), with $100,000 going to the series champion. For the first time in series history, the Championship 4 drivers competed in the season finale from a live event at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. This was the first season to utilize the Generation 7 NASCAR Cup Series cars, nicknamed the "Next Gen."

Teams and Drivers

The 2022 free agency period took place from January 7 through January 10. Outgoing teams from 2021 JTG Daugherty Racing and McLaren Shadow were replaced by the Charlotte Phoenix and iRacing Motorsports. Richmond Raceway Esports was rebranded to Rise eSports, Kligerman Sport changed its name to eRacr with Landon Cassil joining Parker Kigerman on the management team, and Roush Fenway Racing updated its name to RFK Racing to reflect their real-world name change with Brad Keselowski joining their ownership group. Bobby Zalenski reunited with Joe Gibbs Racing for the first time since 2019. Steven Wilson departed the rechristened RFK to replace Graham Bowlin at SHR, while series newcomer Kaden Honeycutt joined fellow rookie Parker Retzlaff at RFK in Wilson’s place. Other series veterans who found new homes in the offseason included Blake Reynolds at Jim Beaver eSports, Allen Boes at Spacestation Gaming, Femi Olatunbosun at Clint Bowyer Racing, Blade Whitt at Wood Brothers Racing, and Vicente Salas at Williams eSports. Other than that, many series mainstays elected to renew with their 2021 teams. Kollin Keister, who last competed in the 2020 season, re-qualified for the series after winning the 2021 eNASCAR Contender iRacing Series championship.

Schedule

The 2022 schedule was released on January 14, 2022. Six tracks make a first-time appearance on the 19-race calendar, including the much-anticipated Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which opened the season with an exhibition race on February 1. iRacing played a vital role in the track’s design with NASCAR Cup Series drivers and eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series competitors simulating test runs on different setups to develop its configuration for NASCAR. In addition to the L.A. Coliseum, virtual events also debuted at the newly reconfigured Atlanta Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway - Dirt, Dover Motor Speedway, World Wide Technology Raceway, and Nashville Superspeedway. The mid-season All-Star Race took place at the new Chicago Street Course. For the first time in history, the championship race was hosted at Phoenix Raceway.
