iRacing.com - Dover coming to iRacing

Yet another legendary race track is in the works at iRacing.com: Dover International Speedway. Our laser-scanning crews traveled to Delaware last week to gather the data required to build a virtual version of the one-mile oval which has hosted NASCAR races since 1969. Nicknamed “The Monster Mile” for the special challenges of its concrete pavement and 24-degree banked turns, Dover annually hosts a pair of NASCAR triple headers with one Sprint Cup/Nationwide/Camping World Truck Series weekend in May and another in September, in the midst of the Chase for the Sprint Cup title.

Dover’s impending addition means the entire list of tracks on the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule is either already available or under development by iRacing.com’s production department. Pocono International Raceway is slated for release later this summer and Dover now joins Southern California’s Auto Club Speedway and Kansas Speedway in iRacing’s development pipeline.
