| ↑ 2026 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series |
The 2026 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Qualifying Series was the year's sole qualifying series for the 2026 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series. This series was open to all eligible iRacing members with an A-Class license and with at least a 2.0 Safety Rating in the Oval discipline. The Top 30 drivers at the end of the season were promoted to join the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series free agency period.
This new Qualifying Series format replaced the former process, which involved three separate Qualifying and Contender seasons, dubbed the Road to Pro ladder. The Qualifying part of the schedule would previously overlap with the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series season, with Qualifying Round 1 and Qualifying Round 2 taking place from February to September. Immediately following the conclusion of the main series, the Contender Series would begin, incorporating top-qualifying drivers with relegated Coca-Cola Series drivers from the prior season. Now, the process was streamlined, with everything taking place linearly in the same calendar year.
Schedule
The 2026 schedule was released on December 17, 2025. The first four races utilized the NASCAR Craftsman Trucks. Races 5 through 8 used the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series cars. The final three races were run utilizing the NASCAR Gen 7 (NEXT GEN) Cup Series machines. One drop race was factored into the final standings, and all splits were determined by iRating.
