The NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship (NiSWC) is an online stock car racing simulation series officially sanctioned by NASCAR and hosted by iRacing.com. It is the top level of the NASCAR iRacing.com Series. The inaugural season of NiSWC started on February 9, 2010, and it featured the top 50 drivers of the lower-level NASCAR iRacing Pro Series.

Structure

Much of the structure, rules and details of NiSWC mimic the current NASCAR Sprint Cup series in a computer simulation form. The series is 39 weeks long with 18 races in total, and uses a simulated version of the Sprint Cup Chevrolet Impala SS. The series has a total of 50 drivers and the points system is based on the scoring used in Sprint Cup.[1]

Drivers wishing to take part in the championship series must first progress through the standard iRacing.com license program and earn a Pro-level license limited to the bottom 25 participants from the latest season of the NiSWC, as well as the top 12 non-DWC/non-Pro finishers in each of the three seasons of iRacing's NASCAR Class A series. These 61 competitors take part in a series that runs during NiSWC's off-season, that serves as the qualifying series to the World Championships.[1]
