Sparkling Ice +Caffeine does the trick, especially when it's hot and you need some genuine refreshment. I love their product and I love how my Sparkling Ice +Caffeine Top Fuel dragster looks on the track."

NASCAR and NACE Starleague Bring Sim Racing to College Campuses Nationwide


The eNASCAR College iRacing Series will launch this month with three-race schedule

 

Daytona Beach, FL (February 15, 2022) – College students nationwide will have the chance to compete at Daytona International Speedway - virtually that is. National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, LLC (NASCAR®) and NACE Starleague, the largest collegiate esports league in North America, announced today the launch of the eNASCAR College iRacing Series, bringing competitive sim racing to more than 500 colleges and universities nationwide.

 

The new series will be presented by NASCAR Official Partners Coca-Cola, Logitech, Playseat and Southern Computer Warehouse.

 

"Gaming and Esports are an important component of NASCAR, allowing us to reach new fans who are often engaging with the sport for the first time," said Nick Rend, Managing Director of Gaming and Esports, NASCAR. "Our various eNASCAR initiatives have seen exponential growth. We felt this was the right time to extend our reach to a younger audience and launch the eNASCAR College iRacing Series to show students the opportunities that sim racing and our sport hold for them."

 

More than 10,000 students will have the option to compete in the eNASCAR College iRacing Series through NACE Starleague, which was established in 2021 as a strategic partnership between the National Association of Collegiate Esports (NACE) and CSL Esports, a Playfly Sports Company.

 

"It is paramount for CSL Esports and Playfly Sports to continue growing and expanding within NACE Starleague," said Rob Johnson, CEO, CSL Esports. "Integrating sim racing as part of the league not only provides greater opportunity for students with varied gaming interests, but furthers our long-term mission of linking education, in this case engineering-focused knowledge, with Esports competition."

 

The 2022 season opens on Thursday, February 24 with the Playfly Sports 30 race at Daytona International Speedway. Qualifying takes place now through Monday, February 21. The top 40 students who post the fastest qualifying times will advance to the race with the eNASCAR Scholarship Fund awarding the highest finishers a combined $50,000 in scholarships throughout the calendar year.

 

Students will compete with NASCAR Camping World Truck Series vehicles emblazoned with their school branding. Competition will be led via iRacing.com, the official simulation partner of NASCAR, which provides one of the top online racing simulation portals and features officially-sanctioned, laser-scanned replicas of race tracks around the world.

Canadian Legend Car Series Releases its 2022 Event Schedule 

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media 

 

The branding may have changed, but the on-track performance remains the same as drivers and teams with the Canadian Legend Car Series get ready to take the green flag for the 2022 season. 

 

Under the direction of Kevin Foisy and Robin Jongen, the former Eastern and Western regional arms of the Ontario Legends Series have banded together to launch a 14-round tour that will include dates on the familiar turf of Peterborough, Sunset, Sauble and Flamboro Speedways.  

 

Again this year, the spotlight events include the 2-day Canadian Legend Car Asphalt Nationals – Saturday and Sunday, September 3rd and 4th – at Sunset Speedway, as well as a return to the 3-day Autumn Colours Classic – October 7th through 9th – at Peterborough. Series spokesperson Kevin Foisy says things are looking strong for the fresh start. 

 

"With our cast of familiar faces and some new teams joining the fold, we're looking forward to kicking-off the new season," explained Foisy. "There are still a few pieces that need to come together to complete the picture, but we're certain that everything will be good to go when the green flag waves to kick off the season. 

 

Foisy – who has earned close to 100 main event checkered flags during his career as a Legends Car chauffeur – say the tour is pleased to continue its strong relationship with Peterborough Speedway who will host a handful of stand-alone dates, as well as the season-ending Autumn Colours Classic. Since the final show of 2021, the Canadian Legend Car dealer support network has seen partners in Gravenhurst, Ontario and Alyesford, Nova Scotia join Foisy's original home base in Clayton, Ontario.

NEW MOTORAMA DATES: APRIL 29, 30 & MAY 1, 2022!

The Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo will take place April 29 - May 1, 2022 at Toronto's International Centre.

NEW MOTORAMA DATES: APRIL 29, 30 & MAY 1, 2022!

 

As you may have heard, we've been able to move the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo back seven full weeks. This will give ample time for Omicron to subside and for the Province of Ontario to fully reopen from its most recent – and likely final – lockdown period. Motorama will take place April 29, 30 & May 1 at Toronto's International Centre.

 

It's been a very long two weeks years to flatten the curve, but it's looking like the pandemic will soon be largely behind us!

 

Looking ahead, we're extremely excited about this year's show! In the days since we confirmed the date change, the reaction has been amazing! Several exhibitors have reached out to reserve space, including those who had taken a 'wait and see' approach. And individual car owners and clubs have registered many incredible vehicles.

 

If you had booked booth space or your vehicle had been accepted – prior to the date change announcement – you don't need to do anything. You're good to go. We'll be in touch, shortly, with new information regarding move-in dates and times.

 

If you have not yet signed up as an exhibitor or car owner, you should do so ASAP. There is still some space available, but it's clear that the industry and community are eager to get back to Motorama, and the floorplan is filling up quickly. The show is going to be jam-packed with incredible custom cars, hot rods, tuners, classics, exotics, trucks and racing vehicles of all kinds!

 

We have lots of big news set to roll out, so don't miss your opportunity to be part of the only major indoor car / racing show taking place in Ontario in 2022! Call us at (416) 962-7223, email us at info@motoramashow.com and watch for news at www.MotoramaShow.com and on our social media feeds.

 

Thank you for your patience and support… and we'll see you April 29 – May 1 at Toronto's International Centre for the Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo!
