2025-26 eNASCAR College iRacing Series | Harvest Cup | Week 1 Tournament Preview

The third eNASCAR College iRacing Series Tournament, powered by the PlayVS College League, kicks off on Wednesday night in the virtual cornfields where Iowa Speedway resides. Titled the Harvest Cup, 120 collegiate competitors are set to run the gauntlet, with the First and Second rounds of the Tournament showcasing all 120 drivers and their schools, with only 39 drivers advancing to Week 2, which will include the Semifinals and Final Round.

From October 28th to November 6th, nearly 220 eligible collegiate iRacers took to the official Time Attack in hopes of qualifying for the second eNASCAR College iRacing Series Tournament. These students collectively put down nearly 30,000 laps around the 7/8-mile oval in Newton, Iowa. Sacramento State's Dylan Ault laid down the fastest lap in the official Time Attack with a time of 23.582 seconds.

The first week of the third Tournament of the season, the final tournament in the Fall Semester, will stream live on Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. ET at eNASCAR.com/live and across all of iRacing’s social media channels.

LAST TOURNAMENT

Last month, the 2025-26 eNASCAR College iRacing Series took on Daytona International Speedway for the second Tournament of the season, the Clash on the Beach. Through the chaos, the University of Calgary's Connor Yeroschak wound up surviving it all, moving from 10th to first on the final lap to win for the second time in his eNASCAR College iRacing Series career, and for the first time in the Tournament era.

LAST SEASON

Utilizing the NASCAR Xfinity Series cars in last year's Iowa festivities, the Hawkeye from the University of Iowa, Steven Wilson, dominated the opening two-thirds of the day, but a late caution threw a wrench into his plans of a hometown sweep. The University of Maine at Augusta's Parker White was ready to pounce, taking advantage of Wilson's choice to take four tires by taking only two on his stop. The move to the front proved to be the winning one as White led the final 31 laps en route to the victory.

TRACK INFO

Opened in September 2006, Iowa Speedway is one of the most unique short tracks in America. The 7/8-mile, D-shaped oval, designed with the aid of former NASCAR champion Rusty Wallace, features progressive banking in the corners and 10 degrees of banking on the frontstretch. This track has hosted multiple NASCAR Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series dates from 2009 to 2019, and it remains a staple of the ARCA Menards Series, NTT IndyCar Series, and NASCAR Cup Series schedule again in 2025.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The eNASCAR College iRacing Series powered by PlayVS College League gives college students from the United States and Canada the opportunity to compete for their share of $60,000 in scholarships. Using the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series vehicles, 120 drivers qualify for each Tournament by registering and posting their fastest lap times in the Time Attack through the iRacing UI. With hundreds of colleges and universities represented in each Time Attack, drivers are competing not only against the greater iRacing community, but also their own classmates, for a spot on the newly-minted bracket.
