2024 eNASCAR Contender iRacing Series


The 2024 eNASCAR Qualifying iRacing Series was the year's eNASCAR Road to Pro Ladder entry rung. iRacing members with an Oval-A license (or Oval-B license with a 4.0 Safety Rating) competed in multiple splits ranked by iRating through the 8-race Round 1. The top 70 drivers from Round 1 advanced to Round 2. In the 6-race Round 2, the field was split into 2 races each week with snake splits, where the top-ranked driver by iRating was in Split 1 and the second-ranked was in Split 2, dividing the races into two fields of 35 drivers each. After Round 2, the top 20 drivers in points were promoted to the 2024 eNASCAR Contender iRacing Series.


This was the last season under the 3-tiered eNASCAR Road to Pro Ladder. Beginning in 2026, this series would replace the eNASCAR Contender iRacing Series as the sole qualifying series for the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series.


Schedule

The 2024 schedule was released on January 17, 2024. In Round 1, Richmond Raceway was added to the calendar, replacing Bristol Motor Speedway which was on the 2023 schedule. In Round 2, Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, Michigan International Speedway, and Bristol Motor Speedway Dirt were replaced by Chicagoland Speedway, Watkins Glen International, and Rockingham Speedway. Originally, Pocono Raceway was scheduled to host the second race of Round 2, however a DDOS attack targeted at iRacing forced this race to be canceled and Round 2 was cut from 7 races to 6. For a second-straight season, Homestead Miami Speedway hosted the final race of Round 2.
