2020 eNASCAR iRacing Pro Series ↓

The 2021 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series was the 12th season of the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series. The season started with an exhibition race at the Daytona International Speedway on February 1 and concluded for the first time at the Texas Motor Speedway on October 12. The traditional 8-driver playoff field was expanded to 10 drivers for the first time. Drivers competed for a prize package of $330,000 (USD), with $100,000 going to the series champion. This was the last season to utilize the Generation 6 NASCAR Cup Series cars.

Teams and Drivers

The 2021 free agency period took place from January 7 through January 11. Outgoing teams from 2020 G2 Esports, KLR eSports, Renegades, and Virtual Racing School were replaced by Elliott Sadler eSports, McLaren Shadow, Spacestation Gaming, and XSET. Denny Hamlin Racing rebranded as 23XI Racing and Burton Kligerman Esports changed its name to Kligerman Sport with Jeff Burton leaving the ownership group. Defending series champion Nick Ottinger remained with William Byron eSports for his title defense. Other notable renewals included 2019 series champion Zack Novak remaining with Richmond Raceway eSports, inaugural series runner-up Brad Davies returning to JR Motorsports, and 2020 season finale winner Chris Shearburn resigning with LETARTE eSports. Notable changes included four-time series champion Ray Alfalla who moved to Joe Gibbs Racing, Bobby Zalenski who changed to LETARTE eSports, and Logan Clampitt who joined Nick Ottinger at William Byron eSports. Rookie Isaac Gann qualified for the series after winning the 2020 eNASCAR iRacing Pro Series championship, but was replaced by Anthony Burroughs halfway through the season.

Schedule

The 2021 schedule was released on January 29, 2021. New tracks to the series included Circuit of the Americas and Road America, two marquee road courses that each hosted the real-world NASCAR Cup Series for the first time that same year. The mid-season All-Star Race was held at the newly released Nashville Superspeedway. For the first time in series history, the final race of the season was hosted by Texas Motor Speedway. While the majority of races took place in the series' traditional Tuesday night slot, both the non-points Clash and the season-opening race at Daytona International Speedway ran on Mondays. After expanding to 20 races for the 2020 season, the 2021 calendar returned to 18 races in length.
