The first-ever ICL ARCA Dirt Series is here — 6 races, a $75 purse, and a brand-new battleground for the toughest drivers in the league.

The iRacing Champions League is expanding into new territory with the ARCA Dirt USA International Championship — the first ever ICL ARCA Dirt Series. If you’ve been waiting for an ARCA points fight with dirt-style intensity, changing track conditions, and no room for mistakes, this is it.

This championship is built to reward consistency across a full slate of races. Every position matters, every point counts, and when the dust settles after six events, the driver with the most points will be crowned champion.

VIP matters for payouts

While anyone can race, payout eligibility requires ICL VIP status.

The $75 series purse will be paid out to the Top 5 in the final standings — but only ICL VIPs are eligible to receive payouts. If you want a shot at the money, make sure your VIP membership is active before the points battle heats up.

What to expect on dirt

This isn’t just “ARCA, but sideways.” Dirt racing demands a different rhythm — and the championship will reward the drivers who can adapt across a six-race stretch:

  • Consistency over chaos: Avoiding DNFs and staying in the points is everything in a short series.

  • Smart aggression: Dirt rewards momentum, but the line between fast and wrecked is thin.

  • Racecraft in traffic: Clean passes and patience can be worth more than raw speed.

  • Championship mindset: Six races means there’s pressure early — but the title is won by the driver who keeps showing up.

Drivers to watch

With this being the first-ever ICL ARCA Dirt Series, expect a wide-open title fight. Keep an eye on:

  • The most consistent point scorers who don’t give away finishes

  • The late-race closers who can manage tires/track evolution and capitalize under pressure

  • The dirt specialists who know how to move around as the surface changes

  • The clean racers who stay out of trouble and quietly stack top-10s (and top-5s) all season long

Ready to make history?

The ARCA Dirt USA International Championship is more than a new series — it’s a fresh chapter for ARCA competition in ICL. Six races. One champion. A $75 purse for the top five. And a grid that’s open to anyone willing to fight for it.

Note: I didn’t receive the “previous results” file in this chat. If you paste the prior standings/results (or upload them), I can update this article to include past winners/champions by name and a sharper “drivers to watch” section based on those results.
