NASCAR Peak Antifreeze Series

The NASCAR Peak Antifreeze Series (NPAS) is a 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 each year, the series features the top 50 drivers of the lower-level NASCAR iRacing Pro Series. In February 2014, iRacing and Old World Industries announced a three year agreement in which its PEAK Antifreeze brand would sponsor the Premier series of iRacing.

Structure

Much of the structure, rules and details of NiSWC mimic the current NASCAR Sprint Cup series in a simulation form. The series is 39 weeks long with 18 races in total, and utilizes simulated versions of the Sprint Cup Gen-6 Chevrolet SS and Ford Fusion and virtual counterparts of official NASCAR tracks. The series has a total of 50 drivers and the points system is based on the current scoring system used in the Sprint Cup Series.

Drivers wishing to take part in the NPAS 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 NPAS, 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 NPAS's off-season (iRacing's Season 4), and the top 25 drivers from the Pro Series will enter the NPAS. For 2014, the eligibility process was changed so that the top 20 class A drivers from the NASCAR iRacing Series Open, a series that runs congruent to the real life Sprint Cup series, will be eligible for the Pro Series. Also, the top 20 drivers from the previous seasons Pro Series would receive their World Championship license as well as a guaranteed entry into all of the World Championship races, along with the top 20 NPAS drivers, while drivers 21-30 would remain Pro rated drivers but would have to qualify for each race.
