YesterYear Racing™ League IROC Series

​In 1973, Les Richter, Roger Penske, and Mike Phelps created the International Race of Champions (IROC).  Many of you who are older likely remember that Series.  It took racers from different disciplines from all over the world and they competed in four races per calendar year to determine a winner.  The concept was to create an all-star racing series of sorts whereby drivers from multiple disciplines raced identical cars with identical setups on different tracks.  The IROC Series had a unique points system and raced different makes of cars through the years including the Chevrolet Camaro, the Dodge Daytona, and the Pontiac Trans Am.

In 2025, YesterYear Racing™League introduced the YesterYear IROC Series. This sim racing Series ran four races in 2025 that were loosely based on the 1985 IROC IX season. The car choice for the 2025 Series was the Cadillac CTS-V.  Each race lasted between 50 and 80 minutes.  Practice opened at 7:30pm ET for each event with the Race taking place at 8:30pm ET.  The 2026 YesterYear IROC Series will consist of 5 races among four disciplines (Road Course, Short Track Oval, 1.5-Mile Oval, and Superspeedway Oval) once again using the Cadillac CTS-V race car. The 2026 Schedule is as follows:

  1. YYR-IROC Road Course #1 - February 17, 2026 - Daytona International Speedway Road Course - 35 Laps

  2. YYR-IROC Short Track Oval - May 12, 2026 - Iowa Speedway - 150 Laps

  3. YYR-IROC 1.5-Mile Oval - June 30, 2026 - Twin Ring Motegi - 100 Laps

  4. YYR- IROC Road Course #2 - August 11, 2026 - Oulton Park International Course - 45 Laps

  5. YYR - IROC Superspeedway Discipline - November 10, 2026 - Daytona International Speedway Oval - 80 La
