The 2023 schedule for the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series has been announced. In addition to returning tracks, two tracks new to the series have been added to the 18-race schedule.
Unlike previous years when the eNASCAR scheduled mirrored the real-life NASCAR Cup Series, the series will visit The Milwaukee Mile and Autodromo Nazionale Monza for the first time.
NASCAR returns to Milwaukee with the Craftsman Truck Series in 2023. Meanwhile eNASCAR’s visit to Monza will be the first visit for a NASCAR sanctioned series since EuroNASCAR competed at the Italian road course in 2013.
The 2023 season also marks the first visit to the superspeedway version of Atlanta Motor Speedway. It’s also the first time that both Michigan International Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway are on the schedule in the Next Gen era.
Also making its’ return to the eNASCAR schedule is a Throwback race at Darlington Raceway, complimenting the real-life Throwback Weekend.
This year the regular season finale takes place at Pocono Raceway. It was at Pocono that 2022 champion Casey Kirwan and Zack Novak replicated the 2003 Darlington finish between Kurt Busch and Ricky Craven.
While the eNASCAR Playoffs make a return, there will not be a superspeedway race in the playoffs. Their playoffs behind at Michigan followed by Dover Motor Speedway and Phoenix Raceway.
The Championship race, this year at Homestead-Miami Speedway, once again will have the Championship Four drivers competing on stage at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
