iRACING USAC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP KICKS OFF WEDNESDAY
Speedway, Indiana (September 10, 2019)………Nine races are all that stand between 35 talented iRacers and their share of $10,000, as the iRacing USAC World Championship presented by FloRacing begins its season on Wednesday.
Comprised of some of the top Dirt Oval racers on the service and a number of popular tracks, including the newly released Fairbury American Legion Speedway as both season opener and finale, this championship will determine the best of the best in wingless sprint car competition.
Many of the names competing for the USAC crown should be familiar to iRacing fans. Drivers like Alex Bergeron and Austen Semmelmann will be running their third iRacing World Championships of the season. Superteams like Swindell SpeedLab Esports, with drivers like James Edens, Adam Elby, Blake Cannon, and brothers Chase and Cole Cabre, will also line up. The international flair of iRacing’s Dirt Oval series carries over into USAC as well, with Bergeron and Alex Smolders representing Canada and Lewis Hewett, Joel Berkley, and Bob King all flying the Australian colors.
The series kicks off on Wednesday with Fairbury’s first-ever iRacing World Championship event, as the popular oval was released as part of last week’s 2019 Season 4 build. “America’s Dirt Track” bookends a season that will see the top three finishers in series points take home $6,000, $3,000, and $1,000, respectively.
