iRacing’s shocking expansion: 30+ NASCAR teams join the simulation revolution—is this the future of racing games?

The Digital Racing Revolution Has ARRIVED—And NASCAR Fans Can’t Get Enough!

In an unprecedented move that has shaken both the NASCAR and gaming worlds, iRacing has unleashed a wave of excitement by announcing a game-changing expansion plan for its motorsports simulator. The digital racing platform, already beloved for its realistic portrayal of motorsports, has just revealed that it’s not only growing but is about to become the go-to platform for every NASCAR fan—and every NASCAR team.

The seismic shift began with a tweet from iRacing’s Executive Vice President, Steve Myers, who dropped a bombshell about their future plans. The news? Over 30 teams from NASCAR’s Xfinity, Truck, and ARCA Menards Series are now racing to join the ranks of iRacing, including some of the sport’s top dogs—Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing. And this is just the beginning!

But why are so many teams flocking to the simulator, and why now? With NASCAR’s official 25th-anniversary game, NASCAR 25, on the horizon, there’s a palpable sense of competition in the air. This bold move by iRacing signals that the future of racing is not just about physical tracks but is rapidly becoming digital. As NASCAR’s announcement of NASCAR 25 promised “one game. four series. unlimited possibilities,” iRacing seems to be answering with its own explosive proposition.


A Digital Turf War—30+ Teams Make Their Move

The frenzy began when Steve Myers confirmed that iRacing was expanding its footprint within NASCAR. His tweet set off an avalanche of requests from teams eager to take part in the digital racing revolution. In his tweet, Myers said: “We will have a team down in @DAYTONA for the 500. Any team that wants to be involved in the game should reach out to schedule a visit from us while we are there!” It wasn’t long before seventeen teams, beyond the already represented Race Team Alliance (RTA) giants, jumped on the opportunity.

What makes this expansion even more compelling? The involvement of major NASCAR organizations. As Myers later revealed, over 30 teams from various NASCAR series had already made their intentions clear, with more surely to follow. What started as a limited number of teams has now snowballed into a full-scale digital revolution—one that could change the face of motorsports simulation forever.

This growth isn’t just about more cars on the track. It’s about the democratization of exposure. Smaller, underdog teams, often overlooked in the physical world of racing, now have a shot at digital fame—an opportunity to shine in front of millions of fans.


A TRUE RACING SIMULATOR: iRacing’s Partnership With NASCAR

For years, iRacing has been hailed as the pinnacle of motorsports simulation, providing an incredibly realistic, authentic racing experience. The company’s deep connections with the NASCAR community have allowed it to build an unparalleled racing environment. And now, iRacing is taking its credibility to the next level.

The involvement of Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing, two of the most respected teams in NASCAR, has already lent immense credibility to iRacing. These are the names that not only carry weight in the garage but now in the gaming world as well. Their participation raises iRacing’s legitimacy, and with the potential for every NASCAR team to be digitally represented, this could forever alter how fans interact with their favorite drivers and teams.


The New Era of Racing—Digital Tracks, Real Team Involvement

But this isn’t just about making the game more immersive. It’s about the future of the sport. As NASCAR leans into this next digital age, iRacing’s expansion signals a bold new era in both gaming and motorsports.

While NASCAR prepares to launch NASCAR 25, which will integrate multiple racing series for the ultimate gaming experience, iRacing is quietly positioning itself as the true future of motorsports simulation. With four major NASCAR series joining the platform—Cup, Xfinity, Craftsman Truck, and ARCA Menards—fans are about to witness a comprehensive, real-time digital showcase like never before. And they won’t just be racing with fantasy teams—they’ll have access to real drivers and real cars, making every race feel as though they’re a part of history.

The collaboration between iRacing and NASCAR has never been more exciting. As NASCAR’s official game pushes forward, iRacing’s bold move could very well become the dominant platform in the digital racing world. Fans and drivers alike are watching closely, and the possibilities seem limitless.


Why This Could Be The End of Traditional Racing Games

The once-dominant landscape of traditional racing games, which typically saw a few licensed cars and drivers, may be on the brink of extinction. NASCAR 25 will undoubtedly offer its own immersive experience, but with the massive, ever-growing partnership between iRacing and NASCAR teams, could the future of racing games shift entirely? If more teams follow suit and jump into the iRacing fold, this platform might just become the next standard for motorsports gaming. Racing fans—this is only the beginning!
