↑ 2023 eNASCAR Contender iRacing Series

The 2023 eNASCAR Qualifying iRacing Series was the entry rung of the year's eNASCAR Road to Pro Ladder. 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 7-race Round 2, the field was split into 2 races each week with snake splits ranked by iRating determining the fields. At the conclusion of Round 2, the top 22 drivers in points were promoted to the 2023 eNASCAR Contender iRacing Series.

Schedule

The 2023 schedule was released on February 15, 2023. In Round 1, Texas Motor Speedway replaced Richmond Raceway after serving as the Round 2 final race last season, and Darlington Raceway replaced Kansas Speedway compared to the 2022 schedule. In Round 2, Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park and Michigan International Speedway swapped dates on the calendar, while The Milwaukee Mile replaced Darlington which had hosted Round 5 in 2022 and Homestead Miami Speedway was chosen to host the final race for the first time in the eNASCAR era.
