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]
