Before iRacing came out with its virtual platform, we only knew the World of Outlaws for its physical ventures. Introduced in 1978, this dirt track racing series enthralled the likes of legends, including Jeff Gordon. The 4-time Cup champion spent his formative years behind the wheel of a dirt sprint car. Gordon also became the youngest driver in 1984 to start a World of Outlaws race at Eldora Speedway. He made the feature in four of his five overall attempts. Unfortunately, financial problems eventually led him out of the series and into NASCAR.

But in 2018, Jeff Gordon confessed to Dale Earnhardt Jr how he wanted to be a World of Outlaws racer. “All I wanted to do was race these cars. That was when I first started racing professionally –where you go to the pay window and they give you a few hundred bucks if you did OK. I wasn’t thinking NASCAR at all. Actually, I was thinking World of Outlaws Sprint Cars. I wanted to be a World of Outlaw sprint car driver. My heroes were Steve Kinser and Doug Wolfgang. I got to race with those guys when I was like 14, and it was insane.”
Evidently, the history of World of Outlaws is sure to dazzle all iRacing fans. With Dale Earnhardt Jr’s help and a rich history, gamers can enjoy securing a spot in the series’ virtual podium.
