NASCAR: How the full-time drivers stack up after Dover

How do the 21 NASCAR drivers who have competed in each eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series race stack up against one another in the unofficial championship standings?

The first six races of the seven-race eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series at virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway, virtual Texas Motor Speedway, virtual Bristol Motor Speedway, virtual Richmond Raceway, virtual Talladega Superspeedway and virtual Dover International Speedway have included 51 different NASCAR drivers.

Of those 51 drivers, 21 have competed in each of these six races.

The championship standings are technically unofficial because of the fact that points are not being tallied for this series, but they have been updated after each race.

But because of the fact that a majority of the 51 drivers who have competed in this virtual racing series have not competed in every race, the entire standings list can become a bit confusing when it comes to seeing who has actually performed well and who hasn’t.

So here is how only the 21 full-time drivers stack up against one another with one race remaining in the series.

Do note that each driver’s status as a full-time driver is based solely on eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series competition and has nothing to do with status as a full-time driver in real-life NASCAR Cup Series competition.
