Welcome to F-R Racing Online

F-R Racing is a Sim Racing Team and was started by two long-time friends who decided that they wanted to break into the racing world as team owners. Unfortunately, they both lacked the proper funding and experience to start a team. When the iRacing system came along, this became the opportunity for F-R Racing to become a real thing. You can learn more about us here.

We’re using this opportunity to learn and document our process as we enter the world of eRacing through iRacing and we’re going to use the site news page to share our progress and document the mistakes we make on the way, so if we ultimately inspire you to start your own team that you won’t make the same mistakes we make.

Wednesday Night Dash

In 2022, F-R Racing launched its first league on the iRacing platform known as Wednesday Night Dash (WND). Many league races require a 2-3 hour time commitment per week to race, plus additional practice time. D.J. and Erik saw the demand for a league that only takes an hour, added a prize purse for the top finishers, and includes a live play-by-play broadcast every week on StadiumScene.TV!

F-R Racing

Two long time friends from central Indiana have had a dream to own a racing team, but they lack the funding and experience to do this.

Thanks to iRacing, the dream has come true. We’ll be using our blog and our YouTube channel to document our progress as we build this brand.

It’s going to be ugly at times, but we hope that you’ll learn from our mistakes and that we inspire you to get out and do the same.

Returning to the show for the fifth time (4 recorded episodes, 1 live show) is our old friend, Andy Amendola of Red Racer Books. Andy is here today to talk about his new book, "Josef's Big Dream" that he wrote in partnership with two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, Josef Newgarden and his wife Ashley. We talk to Andy about how he was introduced to the Newgarden's for the first time and his process of writing the book with Josef and Ashley. This was Andy's first biographical book and his approach was very different from the previous books. As part of his work with IndyCar and the Newgardens', Andy and his family attended the Indianapolis 500 for the first time in 2024. He shares his experience of the weekend and going on track to have his photo with back-to-back winner Josef Newgarden. Finally, Andy shares the story of how Josef and Ashley flew down to his house and he autographed the first 500 copies of the book that were sent out to lucky buyers.

Erik and D.J. are joined this week by Sarah Offenbach (@offey_on_track) on Instagram. Sarah is a motorsports content creator and influencer who has focused primarily on the IndyCar Series the last few years. As we've long promised, we finally sit down and look at the state of the IndyCar series. Why are they struggling with TV ratings? Why are a lot of general fans not familiar with the series drivers? How has the Roger Penske era of IndyCar really gone? Which current IndyCar driver sent her and her husband a congratulatory message for their wedding? Before we get too far into the show, we talk about the NASCAR Championship Weekend and D.J.'s +1200 bet for Joey Logano to win the Championship hit thanks to Alex Bowman's disqualification after the Roval.
