eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series | Power Rankings | Race 18 at Homestead-Miami Speedway
One race to go. The 2025 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series Championship 4 is set, and four deserving drivers are in place to claim the Dale Earnhardt Jr Cup live at the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Tuesday, October 7th. The virtual stage, the 1.5-miler famously known for championship weekends—Homestead-Miami Speedway—has 100 laps scheduled to determine who walks away with $100,000.
Will this be the year that we finally get another multi-time champion, or will the newcomer to the Championship 4, Vicente Salas (Kanaan Esports) keep the trend of new champions alive? Can Zack Novak (Channel 199 Sim Racing) go two-for-two in Championship 4 fights, his first appearance since winning in 2019? Will it be one of the drivers who have already hoisted a Dale Jr Cup at the Hall? Casey Kirwan (Kansas City Pioneers) could do it without winning a single race in 2025. Steven Wilson (Spire Motorsports) already claimed the single-season wins record… can he cap off a record year with another title?
The final eNASCAR Power Rankings of the 2025 season have the four finalists closer than ever, and it’s anyone’s guess as to who will take the title. A Rookie of the Year fight, a Team Championship battle, and, of course, the Relegation line are also topics to keep in mind before the final checkered flag flies in 2025. Here’s how it all stacks up entering the final race of the season at Homestead-Miami.
HOMESTEAD-MIAMI DRIVER POWER RANKINGS | Championship 4 rightfully at top following 2025 successes
The math never lies. The Championship 4 for this year’s title race are the top-four drivers in the final taking of the eNASCAR Power Rankings. Steven Wilson has a record-breaking season, plus a win in the Playoffs, placing him at the top entering the final fight. The most-recent winner, Vicente Salas, absolves the catastrophic finish at Texas to take the second spot in the rankings with the most momentum to boot. Zack Novak, another Playoff winner, only loses a single spot this week to the aforementioned Salas. While Casey Kirwan was also jumped by Salas, his ability to outpoint Parker White (Atlassian Williams Sim Racing) places him in the same spot entering the finale, also with a chance at another title.
I don’t usually reveal the numbers, but it really was close this week among the top-four. Wilson earned a Power Ranking of 90.0, which was much higher a week prior, but the 39th place finish due to the incident at Phoenix brought it down closer to the field. Salas wound up scoring an 89.67 by the rubric, trading an average Pocono finish for a win at Phoenix in the current results tab. Novak wound up with another top-five finish after winning the race prior, keeping his score at 88.5 for the final rankings. Just behind, pointing his way into the Championship battle, was Kirwan, with three solid finishes raising his score to 88.
This week’s formula made a slight change as well, adding in a metric for the regular season. While the most-recent races are what drive the majority of the scores, I noticed some irregularities late in the season in the original formula accounting for a more narrow scope of data. These rankings are pretty spot on, bringing names like Jordy Lopez (BS+COMPETITION) back into the top-10 that should be there.
Potential Rookie of the Year elect, Connor Yeroschak (Letarte Esports) also moves into the top-10 following his career-best finish of second at Phoenix. Christopher Hill (Apex Racing Team) was in the top-10, but with his Phoenix result of 23rd resulting in negative momentum, he falls outside the top-10 in the rankings as his chances for top rookie honors becomes almost insurmountable with just the one race left.
18 of the top-20 drivers ranked in the Power Rankings are in the top-20 in the standings. That makes complete and total sense. Rookie driver Blaze Crawford (Team Dillon Esports) is just on the outside of the cut line, but is listed 19th by the Power Ranking formula. Quentin Warman (Hyak Motorsports), another rookie, is a little further outside, but the math placing them in a ranked spot could be a sign for their successes entering the finale.

HOMESTEAD-MIAMI TEAM POWER RANKINGS | Spire Motorsports versus Channel 199 Sim Racing for Team Championship
For the first time all season, the top-five in the Team Power Rankings stayed exactly the same from race-to-race. With as much turmoil as the Team Championship produced over the opening 17 races of the season, eNASCAR fans finally have a clear picture as to who the contenders are in this final race of the season.
Spire Motorsports could have wrapped it up at Phoenix, but Steven Wilson was taken out of the equation just past halfway. The allowed Channel 199 Sim Racing to keep the gap close entering the finale—only 16 points back with two of the drivers competing for the driver’s title alongside.
Wilson has carried Spire with his record-setting wins total over the season, but his blow up races have been incredibly detrimental to the team. Meanwhile, there’s only one driver in the entire series that has completed every single lap—Zack Novak. Novak hasn’t escaped his own dramas, but despite his setbacks, he’s been able to cross the finish line on the lead lap 17 out of 17 times. He’s also got Dylan Duval on his side, and with both drivers making the playoffs, Channel 199 Sim Racing was the only team to accomplish this feat in the 2025 season.
Femi Olatunbosun wasn’t a playoff caliber driver this season, but he’s scored enough points to not have to worry about relegation entering the finale. Looking at other teams with winners, like William Byron eSports, or Kanaan Esports, their No. 2 drivers are nowhere in the same vicinity as Olatunbosun was in the 2025 season.
The first move on the Team Power Rankings list came down in seventh, with Kanaan Esports trading places with the Vegas Inferno, keeping BS+COMPETITION in the middle of the sandwich. Apex Racing Team falls out, and fgrAccel returns to the rankings for the final week.
The defending Team Champions, Atlassian Williams Sim Racing, sits third in the standings, and third in the Power Rankings. Parker White statistically had a better season than his championship year in 2024, but not finding victory lane kept the third-year competitor from defending his title. Donovan Strauss is another driver locked in for 2026, and is a previous winner at Homestead-Miami Speedway. They’ll look to finish out the season strong, as they still have a slim chance to claim second in the final standings.
