Tucker Minter earned his second victory of the 2025 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series, prevailing in the second overtime at a virtual Charlotte Motor Speedway on Tuesday.
Minter put the No. 97 Chevrolet far out in front at the beginning of the first overtime, but that attempt to end the race was halted quickly due to a multi-car wreck bringing out the yellow flag.
At the beginning of the second OT, Minter again took control, and he held off Parker White down the final straightaway.
White, in the No. 95 Chevrolet, finished 0.060 seconds behind Minter. Seth DeMerchant in the No. 14 Toyota took third place, Graham Bowlin in the No. 48 Chevrolet came in fourth, and Kollin Keister in the No. 15 Ford rounded out the top five.
None of the cars that wound up in the top nine begin in the top 11 on the grid.
Minter won two races ago at a virtual Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway. He joined four-time series champion Ray Alfalla as the only eNASCAR competitors with multiple wins at Charlotte.
“It would have been nice to win battling side by side on green to the end, but that added pressure of green-white-checkered, and to be able to pull it off and having a great race up front with everybody, that was a ton of fun,” said Minter, a Warrenton, Va., resident.
Minter admitted to being nervous about the state of his car early in the race.
“Once we got a little bit more confidence in how the car was going to handle, we were just flat flying at the end,” he said.
White said, “That was a really fun race, really from start to finish. … We were able to run all over the track. It was a lot of fun.”
The series continues May 27 at a virtual Nashville Superspeedway.
