Christian Racing has it’s roots dating back to 1999 when the sim of the day was NASCAR 3. We weren’t online yet but we had scheduled seasons and each member raced against the AI cars on their own computer at a determined strength. We would e-mail our results to the league admin and our first sanctioned series was born.
Christian Racing moved online with the release of NASCAR 4 and the real fender banging began, we still didn’t have a dedicated server, as our small league was hosted by a Moderator who had a high speed line. The numbers were small, but the racing was great as we all joined in on Roger Wilco (voice chat) to get to know each other, many of our members were still on dial up and each race was an adventure.
As the years passed our membership grew and we progressed through the NASCAR Series, we ran a few more years with the Project Wildfire add on’s and secured our own dedicated racing servers. We have rolled with the punches migrating to NASCAR 2K3, ARCA Sim Racing, rFactor, Stock Car Evolution and now iRacing. Christian Racing has hosted LAN Events in Wabash Indiana and many members have traveled to meet each other and have become good friends. Christian Racing has hosted many charity races to raise money for worthy causes; the stage may have changed over the years but what Christian Racing represents has stayed the same.
When Christian Racing was formed our mission was to bring the banner of Jesus Christ into the sim racing arena. We felt that not only was there a need, but special people were going to be needed to ensure that banner was held in a Christ like manner. The Lord has provided special people to run and moderate Christian Racing over the years, for some it was for a season, but many of the the original leadership team is still here today. From the onset; Christian Racing has always strived to be more than a well run online racing league, but also a fellowship, a ministry and an outreach.
Christian Racing has members from all walks of life and all are welcome. We believe that friendship and fellowship rank above the final race standings; but don’t think that you won’t find a great race as we have some really fast cats! We welcome drivers of all abilities from novice to advanced. Our Race Control is via Teamspeak, and we provide a laid back experience with no pressure, where friendship and fellowship are promoted. Don’t get me wrong when the green flag falls we are just as competitive as any other league, and you won’t get cussed out if you make a mistake on the track.
Here at Christian Racing you will hear the name of Christ in our pre-race invocation, and you will find Christian content on our website, Facebook and Discord pages, but we are not in the business of shoving anything down your throat so to speak. The Invocation is part of our pre-race drivers meeting and is there for you to listen to; the Christian content on our website is there for you to enjoy if you wish. Speaking of Facebook be sure to check out some of Bella Goodwrench’s race reports as they are well renouned HeHe.
Christian Racing accepts new drivers on an ongoing basis, meaning “yes” you can join in mid series, you don’t have to wait until a current series is finished to start racing. Currently we are racing three nights a week using iRacing’s NASCAR Next Gen Car, NASCAR Xfinity car and NASCAR Trucks. Durring the off season we run a variety cars and tracks.
We hope that you will check out our website, and have a look at the Championship Banners dating back to 2001, our featured drivers and the CR Alumni.

What can you expect on your first night on the racing server? You can expect a non-threatening environment, you can expect to be included as part of the group and have a fun night of racing with no strings attached. You will not be asked for a membership fee as Christian Racing is a free league, everything you need to know will be explained to you by one of our Moderators in a private Teamspeak chatroom, and we will be happy to answer any questions that you might have.
