iRacing’s Season 3 update brought racers plenty of updates – including new, enhanced visual features when you spin through the grass. It may not sound like a big change, but if you’re a frequent crasher like some people, it’s a game-changer.

NASCAR PEAK ANTIFREEZE IRACING SERIES UPDATE
The world’s finest virtual racers head to Michigan International Speedway Tuesday after three weeks off. There’s been a bit of shake-up atop our Race 8 Power Rankings following a thrilling side-by-side finish that crowned Nick Shelton a new winner in the series.
Ryan Luza, 2017 champion and winner of two races at the beginning of 2018, hasn’t entered the last two races in the series, though he’s expected to make a return at Michigan.
IRACING PAINT SCHEMES OF THE WEEK
Erik Le re-created the No. 54 DGR-Crosley Racing Toyota Tundra for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Matthew Meyer reimagined Erik Jones’ Coca-Cola 600 ride as a super late model – a staple for Jones, the short track racer.
