Besides being an owner of Dirty Mo Media, Dale Jr, as the Executive Director of iRacing, is set to launch an all-new Late Model Stock car in March 2023, joining a lineup of popular cars in the Season 2 build. The new car will be used in the iRacing CARS Late Model Stock Tour, which is now the official racing game of the CARS Tour, thanks to a new partnership agreement.
iRacing’s Late Model Stock is based upon JR Motorsports’ CARS Late Model Stock Tour entry, which was championed by Carson Kvapil last year. The car weighs 3100 pounds, produces over 400 horsepower, and has fiberglass body panels to withstand short-track racing. Dale Earnhardt Jr played a hands-on role in the car’s development. Kvapil and JR Motorsports will debut the car on March 11 at Southern National Motorsports Park, one of the many CARS Tour venues currently available in iRacing.
