Championship secured! 🏁That was easily one of the toughest races i've driven in my 10 years on the iracing service. I thought I gave away the race taking four tires on a late race caution. Thanks to Integrity Racing League for a fun season! Never give up!

After a few years of coming up short by one point, Flatout Esports finally got ourselves a team championship in RealSimRacing Cup Series. So happy to get one of these in the last year of the league! This is something my teammates and I will cherish for a long time!

The 2025 Integrity Racing League Ignite series kicked off tonight at Daytona! With close to 60 cars, it was by far the highest car count i've been apart of oval racing. Unfortunately, I did a poor job missing a big wreck on the last lap and ended up p29. I'm looking forward to Atlanta!

What a great finish fighting for second place tonight in Integrity Racing League with Braxton DeWeese . I just missed p2 by a hair to end up p3. Great way to get some momentum going early in the season!

Got caught up in an incident on a restart and ended up p29 tonight at Atlanta. My speed has not felt bad the last two weeks, but I need some luck to go my way to build momentum. I like the next five races on our schedule!

A top5 finish is just what I needed after two tough weeks in the Integrity Racing League Ignite series. On to Kentucky, which is a track I have not raced on in years. Should be interesting!

Finished the night with a top 10 finish in Integrity Racing League. Ran in second most of the race and was able to get a good chunk of stage points. Unfortunately, an untimely caution shook up strategy with some electing to stretch it on fuel, which cost me some spots.

In the golden age of NASCAR the sport would never consider compromising RACING for entertainment. The racing was entertaining to the fans and there was no need to try and attract people who had no interest in cars and car racing. The sport was BIG enough! Bigger than it is now.

So close to getting that elusive first win this year in Integrity Racing League. Props to Matt Thornhurst on a great fuel strategy call. Still a great points night to help pad my spot heading closer to the playoffs.

It feels good to win this one! Had to overcome some adversity mid race, but I was driving mad and was able to catch some luck with strategy! Never give up! On to New Hampshire!

I missed out on making the final round of the Integrity Racing League Ignite series, but had a stellar three race stretch to end the season and series. Glad to have picked up a few wins this year with the tough competition! Still working on some plans for 2026.
