The iRacing Champions League Midget National Tour rolled into Bristol Motor Speedway for Round 6 of Season 3, and the high-banked half-mile once again delivered a memorable night of racing. With 28 entries, the field was stacked, and the feature produced a thrilling back-and-forth battle at the front that kept everyone on edge until the checkered flag.

At the center of it all were Parker Leek and Aidan Strawberry, who swapped the lead multiple times in a duel that defined the race. Strawberry came in as the championship leader, but Leek rose to the occasion, showing speed and determination to claim the win after a relentless fight. The two drivers were nearly inseparable throughout the 20-lap sprint, each taking turns out front before Leek ultimately secured the top step of the podium.

Behind the leading pair, James Roselli continued his string of consistent podium runs, crossing the line third to keep himself firmly in the title fight. Paul Mancini and Tucker Halliday completed the top five, both showing steady pace in a deep and competitive field.

Points Picture After Six Rounds

With six rounds complete, the championship standings are tightening. The scoring format—1 point for fast time, 12 points for a win, and one point less per position—means every lap matters, and the Bristol results have added new energy to the chase:

  • Strawberry remains the points leader, still the most consistent driver in the field with two wins and top-five finishes in all six races so far.

  • Roselli keeps pace, 24 points behind, and remains well within striking distance with plenty of rounds left.

  • Leek’s win and bonus point vault him into the top four, now only 31 points back. If his recent momentum continues, he could emerge as Strawberry’s toughest challenger.

  • Gregory, with limited starts, has two wins but sits third in points—showing just how valuable regular attendance is in the standings.

With 14 races still remaining on the calendar, there’s plenty of time for the championship picture to change.

Hard Charger

The hard charger of the night was Brandon Gisewhite, who gained four positions after starting 11th and finishing 7th. On a track as fast and unforgiving as Bristol, those gains were hard-earned.
