The iRacing Champions League is proud to announce the return of its highly competitive Midget National Series, now entering its third season on the iRacing platform. Known for showcasing the best dirt track talent in simracing, the National Series brings together drivers from across the community to battle on every dirt oval iRacing has to offer. With over 20 races scheduled, a season purse of more than $300, and a proven history of thrilling wheel-to-wheel action, this next chapter promises to be the most competitive yet.

Building on Seasons 1 and 2

The past two seasons of the Midget National Tour have delivered unforgettable moments and helped establish a roster of standout simracers. Season 1 was defined by a wide variety of winners, as drivers like Kinser Lightner, Brennan Rogers, Maison Coffey, and Brenden McGlothlin all put their names into the record books. That variety meant every race felt wide open, with no single driver dominating the tour.

By contrast, Season 2 raised the intensity and saw repeat winners emerge. Maison Coffey, Brennan Rogers, Aidan Strawberry, and JT Ferry established themselves as frontrunners, combining consistency with raw pace. Brennan Rogers in particular set the tone with four victories across the stretch, while Aidan Strawberry proved why heā€™s been one of the leagueā€™s most reliable and dangerous competitors, building on his already impressive all-time stats.

When looking at the historical numbers, a few names stand out. Aidan Strawberry enters Season 3 with a remarkable 24 career starts, 92% top-10 rate, and four wins, making him one of the most consistent competitors in ICL history. Maison Coffey has been lethal when on form, converting three poles into three victories in just five season-two starts. Meanwhile, Brennan Rogers has put up staggering numbers, earning four wins in just five appearances for an 80% win rate. Other drivers like JT Ferry, Kinser Lightner, Cody Parmley, and Brenden McGlothlin have also proven themselves as perennial threats, each capable of taking a checkered flag at any moment.

Past Champions

The iRacing Champions League Midget National Series has already crowned two drivers as champions, each with their own unique path to the title.

  • Season 1 Champion ā€“ Jayden M. Anderson
    Season 1 saw Jayden M. Anderson rise above a deep field of contenders to claim the inaugural championship. With one victory and relentless consistency, Anderson fended off Kinser Lightner, Jacob Halliday, and early standouts like Aidan Strawberry to secure his place as the first-ever ICL Midget National Series Champion.

  • Season 2 Champion ā€“ Aidan Strawberry
    Season 2 belonged to Aidan Strawberry, who built on his strong debut year to deliver a breakout campaign. With three wins and an unmatched ability to stay near the front week after week, Strawberry clinched the title over JT Ferry, Brandon Holtmeier, and Aiden Price. His championship run cemented him as one of the seriesā€™ most consistent and feared competitors, and he now returns as the defending champion for Season 3.

With Anderson and Strawberry both having their names etched into ICL history, the spotlight now turns to who will join themā€”or perhaps repeatā€”as the National Series Champion.
