Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Back in January, iRacing announced that multiple officially licensed dirt tracks would be added to the service, during 2022. So far they confirmed the Federated Auto Parts Raceway At I-55, Wheatland, Missouri’s Lucas Oil Speedway, and Pennsylvania’s Port Royal Speedway. Alongside the upcoming dirt oval releases, the Lucas Oil Speedway off-road track will also join the iRacing service in a future build.
The first track to become available is the Federated Auto Parts Raceway At I-55, which is a mainstay of the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Sprint Car and Late Model Series.
Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 is a third-mile high-banked clay oval track located in Pevely, Missouri. I-55 was purchased by NASCAR legend and Missouri native Ken Schrader in 2003, and fellow Missourian Kenny Wallace is a mainstay of the track as well. In May 2020, shortly after staging one of the first real-world racing events in America after the COVID-19 pandemic began, Kyle Larson set the track record and broke the 10-second mark in a World of Outlaws Sprint Car.
The venue will host additional World of Outlaws events for sprint cars on April 15-16 and the late models, Xtreme Outlaw sprint cars, and DIRTcar Summer Nationals on June 24-25.
The virtual version of the track is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2022.
