2023 eNASCAR Contender iRacing Series ↓ |
The 2024 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series was the 15th season of the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series. The season started with an exhibition race at Daytona International Speedway on January 30 (the only exhibition race of the year) and concluded at the Homestead Miami Speedway on October 1. Casey Kirwan won Segment 1, Vicente Salas won Segment 2, and Steven Wilson won Segment 3 of the Regular Season. Steven Wilson was the Regular Season Champion. Drivers competed for a prize package of $511,000 (USD), the largest in series history. $100,000 of the prize package went to the series champion. For a third straight season, the Championship 4 drivers competed in the season finale from a live event at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Teams and Drivers
The 2024 free agency period opened on January 15, 2024. Outgoing teams from 2023 Elliott Sadler eSports, Rise eSports, XSET, Jim Beaver eSports, Stewart-Haas eSports, and the Charlotte Phoenix were replaced by newcomers BS+COMPETITION, Kevin Harvick Inc., M80, Nitro Circus Sim Racing Team, Oxygen Esports, and Spire Motorsports. Jonathon Dulaney, Matthew Zwack, Quami Scott, and Seth DeMerchant comprised the field of 4 rookie drivers. Only 12 drivers signed with the same teams they raced with in 2023, with Keegan Leahy and Michael Guest returning to 23XI Racing and Daniel Faulkingham and Bobby Zalenski returning to Joe Gibbs Racing. Vicente Salas re-qualified for the series after winning the 2023 eNASCAR Contender iRacing Series championship. Brian Mercurio, Daniel Buttafuoco, and Michael P Frisch each competed in 1 race as backup drivers but were not considered rookies.

Schedule
The 2024 schedule was released on January 11, 2024. The calendar was broken up into three distinct regular season segments, followed by the traditional four-race playoffs. As in past seasons, 10 drivers qualified for the playoffs by either winning a race or scoring the most points in the regular season, and four of those drivers qualified for a shot at the championship in the season finale. While Segment 1 of the regular season started with the traditional opener at Daytona International Speedway, the other two segments kicked off with the series debuts of Brands Hatch Circuit and Iowa Speedway in April and June, respectively. Road course races like Brands Hatch featured a new sprint and feature race format, while short tracks like Iowa started with a pair of heat races to set the grid for the feature. The preseason Clash implemented the heat formula too, as it returned to Daytona for the first time since 2021. Other highlights included the return of fixed setup races to the schedule at Atlanta Motor Speedway on March 12, Talladega Superspeedway on April 30, and the Chicago Street Course which featured 4 drivers competing on-site in Chicago during NASCAR Fan Week.
