The 2023-24 eNASCAR College iRacing Series was the 4th season of the eNASCAR College iRacing Series, the first of which to span across 2 college semesters and the first to have a winner-take-all championship race. The season started at Daytona International Speedway on September 19, 2023, and concluded at the Homestead Miami Speedway on May 3, 2024. Drivers competed for a prize package of $60,000 (USD) in scholarships, $30,000 of which was handed out in the season finale.
Schedule
The 2023-24 schedule was released on August 1, 2023. The calendar was broken up into fall and spring semesters, with 4 races per semester followed by a championship race consisting of only the top 25 drivers in points after the first 8 races. The 40 fastest drivers in each time attack session made the field for the A-main and competed for scholarship dollars. The second fastest group of 40 drivers (i.e. 41-80) and third fastest group of drivers (i.e. 81-120) were invited to compete in the B and C-main respectively and competed for iRacing credits. Each in-game Time Attack event lasted for 14 days, and Drivers were able to participate in an unlimited number of times during that time, with only their fastest lap counting towards qualification. Rounds 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, and the Championship used the NASCAR Xfinity Series cars. Rounds 2, 5, and 7 used the NASCAR Truck Series trucks.
