NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship
The NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship (NiSWC) is an online STOCK car racing simulation series officially sanctioned by NASCAR and hosted by iRacing.com. It is the top level of the NASCAR iRacing.com Series. The inaugural season of NiSWC started on February 9, 2010, and it featured the top 50 drivers of the lower-level NASCAR iRacing Pro Series.
Structure
Much of the structure, rules and details of NiSWC mimic the current NASCAR Sprint Cup series in a computer simulation form. The series is 39 weeks long with 17 races in total, and uses simulated versions of the Sprint Cup Chevrolet SS and Ford Fusion. The series has a total of 50 drivers and the points system is based on the scoring used in Sprint Cup.
Drivers wishing to take part in the NiSWC must first ProgresS through the standard iRacing.com license program and earn a Pro-level license limited to the bottom 25 participants from the latest season of the NiSWC, as well as the top 10 non-DWC/non-Pro licensed finishers in each of the first three seasons of iRacing's NASCAR Class A series for that calendar year. These 55 competitors take part in the NASCAR iRacing.com Pro Series that runs during the NiSWC's off-season, and the top 25 drivers from the Pro Series will enter the NiSWC.
