As iRacing has hit the mainstream and the number of users on the platform has surged, the quality of driving has decreased. It’s not a knock on drivers or iRacing, but it’s a natural thing that happens when a platform grows as rapidly as iRacing has over the last five years. That’s exactly why we’ve introduced the Bottom Split Racing Series iRacing League.
This will be our fourth league and we’ve hosted over 160 league races since 2022 with most of our drivers returning season after season. Participating in our iRacing leagues is a great experience!
Who Are We Targeting?
What we’re hoping to do is bring in drivers who are new to oval racing, may struggle with race craft, tough competition, and general lack of guidance on oval racing. We’ll stick you in the 2025 ARCA Menards series cars (Chevy SS, Ford Mustang, Toyota Camry). The schedule runs every other week for eight races. You’ll work with others who truly are focused on developing their abilities. Each race features no cautions and is only the length of one fuel/tire run. From start to finish is under one hour of your time.
This series is broadcast on Monday nights at 10 pm ET on Stadium Scene TV.
Each driver pays a $10 broadcast fee to join the series.
The broadcast fee is to strictly cover the costs of running the broadcaster (pay the broadcaster, software licenses).
Series Eligibility
You are eligible to participate in the series as long as you meet the following requirements:
- Oval iRating is < 2000 (Exemptions may be given if you can prove iRating is mostly from Street Stocks or open wheel oval racing)
- Driver has not won a championship in the Wednesday Night Dash Series
- Driver has < 5 official iRacing oval wins (Exemptions may be given if you can prove wins are mostly from Street Stocks or open wheel oval racing)
- 2x BSRS League Championship Winners not eligible for full schedule (may participate in super speedway or road course races if other eligibility criteria. Driver owes a pro-rated broadcast fee to participate.)
- Final eligibility is subject to approval by the BSRS League Competition Committee
If the competition committee determines that a driver is “too competitive” for the series, league management reserves the right to remove the driver from the series. A pro-rated refund will be provided in the event this occurs.
BSRS Schedule
In 2025 as we pilot the series, we will run a single eight race season every other Monday night:
The league expects drivers to attend as many races as possible, but we understand that life can get in the away. If you miss a race for work, family commitment, illness, etc. that is not a problem.
