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!

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.

Now that the Formula 1 season is done, it's time for us to take a little time off from the show, but we'll be back in early January! Erik and D.J. kick off today's show talking about the end of the Formula 1 season, how Max Verstappen's dominance will go down in the history book + TV ratings if he keeps it up, Alfa Romeo's brand out the door, and Monster Energy leaving Mercedes for McLaren. After a little throwback 90s diecast talk throwing out names like the late Dick Trickle, Buckshot Jones, and others we get on to discussing the new NASCAR TV deal. We really break down NASCAR's shocking TV deal including four partners (FOX, NBC, TNT, and Amazon Prime Video). How will the five races impact the older demographic who haven't embraced streaming? Allegedly the networks are barely breaking even from the last deal, how will they turn a profit this time around and will that negatively impact the broadcast? D.J. breaks down how the model of sports on TV is rapidly changing and in many ways we're returning to the ways of 20-30 years ago with sports on local TV. The well publicized failure of Bally Sports via Diamond Sports Group and several professional teams returning to local TV to broadcast their games. How will the cable companies adapt? --------- Our Discord: https://discord.gg/zvFC9naUMw Follow F-R Racing: Blog: https://www.frracingonline.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/frracingonline Threads: https://threads.net/@frracingonline Instagram: https://instagram.com/frracingonline Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/frracingonline TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@frracingonline Twitch: https://twitch.tv/frracingonline Listen to the episode in Podcast Form: https://anchor.fm/frracingonline ---------- Affiliate Link: Today's episode is powered by Extreme SimRacing.

D.J. is back from his illness last week (mostly). We kick off the show talking about D.J. taking on the flu and food poisoning at the same time and how at one point his wife had to call 911 and have paramedics come to the house because things got really bad. After a brief discussion about safety, SAFER barriers, and deaths during the 24 hours of Le Mans in the 50s and 60s we go on and talk about an event we've heavily criticized over the course of this year, the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. We recap the week starting from the damage caused by the drain cover to Carlos Sainz's car and the ridiculous 10-position grid penalty he faced for it, the cold weather causing chaos with grip, the ridiculous Vegas opening ceremonies, and much more. That's all before we even get to the start of the race. We break down the race and how it was actually quite exciting. We talk about Max's penalty, words for the stewards, his accident with George Russell, and oh he still won. Also more on Lando Norris' crash, Lewis' puncture, Haas and Williams' great qualifying runs, but poor races, and so much more! Finally, we get to what we know you've been waiting for, the unveiling of the Wednesday Night Dash Season 8 schedule (skip to 40:30)! We're back in the Next Gen Cup Car in January and will be visiting some tracks that WND has never visited and also visiting some that we've never been to in the Cup car. It's going to be an exciting season and you should join us! --------- Our Discord: https://discord.gg/zvFC9naUMw Follow F-R Racing: Blog: https://www.frracingonline.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/frracingonline Twitter: https://twitter.com/frracingonline Instagram: https://instagram.com/frracingonline Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/frracingonline TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@frracingonline Twitch: https://twitch.tv/frracingonline Listen to the episode in Podcast Form: https://anchor.fm/frracingonline ---------- Don't forget to check out Wednesday Night Dash iRacing League live at 10:15pm Eastern time almost every Wednesday on Stadium Scene TV: https://www.youtube.com/c/stadiumscene ----------- F-R Racing's Garage Talk LIVE Raceday is powered by F1 TV Pro.

Erik and D.J. kick off this all-new episode with some trivia! Now that Kevin Harvick has retired, who are the five most experienced drivers (based on debut date) in the NASCAR Cup Series? Listen and find out! First off, time to recap the entire championship weekend starting with the disaster of a Craftsman Truck Series race on Friday Night that resulted in several overtime restarts, Corey Heim seeking revenge on Carson Hocevar likely costing Grant Enfinger a title, and more. Next, we move on and discuss D.J.'s trip to Phoenix Raceway for the Xfinity Series Championship race, D.J. missed out an opportunity to see the Garage 56 car in person, but otherwise saw a great race with Cole Custer taking the season championship. We move onto Sunday and discuss Ryan Blaney vs Ross Chastain's battle and NBC largely ignoring Ross' win and focusing on Blaney. We do note that if you're old enough to remember the Winston Cup (pre-playoff) finales, it wasn't common for the Championship Winner to win the race and TV largely ignored the race winner to focus on the season champion. Finally, we close out the show after a brief technical difficulty of D.J.'s Internet cutting out discussing Formula 1 at Interlagos. Topics include the severe weather during qualification, Charles LeClerc's incident during the formation lap, Alex Albon and Kevin Magnussen's wreck on the first turn of lap 1, and the exciting battle for 3rd between Fernando Alonso and Sergio Perez. Next up is the much-criticized, but highly anticipated Las Vegas Grand Prix! We'll be hosting Garage Talk LIVE Raceday during the broadcast on our streaming channels (Facebook, Twitch, YouTube). Erik will most likely be late to the event so we'll be announcing D.J.'s guest co-host here soon! --------- Our Discord: https://discord.gg/zvFC9naUMw Follow F-R Racing: Blog: https://www.frracingonline.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/frracingonline Twitter: https://twitter.com/frracingonline Instagram: https://instagram.com/frracingonline Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/frracingonline TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@frracingonline Twitch: https://twitch.tv/frracingonline Listen to the episode in Podcast Form: https://anchor.fm/frracingonline ---------- Don't forget to check out Wednesday Night Dash iRacing League live at 10:15pm Eastern time almost every Wednesday on Stadium Scene TV: https://www.youtube.com/c/stadiumscene ----------- F-R Racing's Garage Talk LIVE Raceday is powered by F1 TV Pro.

Erik and D.J. are back with another episode of F-R Racing's Garage Talk! We kick off the show discussing the events at Martinsville from Ryan Blaney winning, to Richard Childress's No Good Very Bad Day. D.J. defends Sheldon Creed and his actions (his car "broke" during his "check-up" which has since resulted in a public apology from Andy Petree) and criticizes Petree for unprofessionally confronting Creed in public view followed by the unacceptable comments made by Richard Childress. In the second half of the show, we split time previewing the upcoming weekend in Phoenix and discussing if Phoenix should host championship weekend. There have been a lot of calls to move the championship back to Homestead. D.J. who will be at the races this weekend has a surprising opinion on the matter.
In today's F-R Racing's Garage Talk, Erik and D.J. are joined by F-R Racing's Social Media Specialist, birthday boy, and newest Race Control guy, Taka Timmerman. The three talk about the Wednesday Night Dash end-of-year "fun race" where we thought it would be a good idea to mix Craftsman Truck Series Trucks on the same track as the old NASCAR Gen 4 cars at the old configuration of Atlanta Motor Speedway. The race ended up being a lot of fun and extremely challenging when it came to tire management. Despite the fact D.J. was the last truck standing and essentially won the truck class by default, he was still in a celebratory mood by quoting Cal Naughton Jr from Talladega Nights. We move on and discuss the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. First how the drivers universally dislike the sprint weekends, how Max Verstappen had issues with his brakes, and the disqualification of Lewis Hamilton and Charles LeClerc over a piece of wood under the car. We close out the show talking about NASCAR at Homestead and what we're going to do the rest of the year now that the WND season is over and NASCAR/F1 will be wrapping up soon. --------- Our Discord: https://discord.gg/zvFC9naUMw Follow F-R Racing: Blog: https://www.frracingonline.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/frracingonline Twitter: https://twitter.com/frracingonline Instagram: https://instagram.com/frracingonline Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/frracingonline TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@frracingonline Twitch: https://twitch.tv/frracingonline Listen to the episode in Podcast Form: https://anchor.fm/frracingonline ---------- Don't forget to check out Wednesday Night Dash iRacing League live at 10:15pm Eastern time almost every Wednesday on Stadium Scene TV: https://www.youtube.com/c/stadiumscene ----------- F-R Racing's Garage Talk LIVE Raceday is powered by F1 TV Pro.

Erik and D.J. are back this week to close out the 2023 Wednesday Night Dash season with a year-in-review discussion of the ARCA league. We talked about the many lows and how one coaching session with iRacing ARCA Legend, ⁠Justin Yee (@DJYeeJay) turned D.J.'s season around and gave him a lot of confidence moving forward. Before getting into that season, D.J. discusses why his current state as a hockey fan is "Arizona Coyotes Apologist" and why he is on board with why they should remain in the Phoenix market and can be successful in the Phoenix market. We also throw back to some old IRL discussion from the late 90s including Greg Ray winning at Atlanta Motor Speedway and A.J. Foyt backhanding Arie Luyendyk Sr at a night race in Texas in 1997. We close out the show talking about the upcoming weekend of NASCAR at Miami Homestead Speedway and Formula 1 coming back to the states for the second of three trips. --------- Our Discord: https://discord.gg/zvFC9naUMw Follow F-R Racing: Blog: https://www.frracingonline.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/frracingonline Twitter: https://twitter.com/frracingonline Instagram: https://instagram.com/frracingonline Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/frracingonline TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@frracingonline Twitch: https://twitch.tv/frracingonline Listen to the episode in Podcast Form: https://anchor.fm/frracingonline ---------- Don't forget to check out Wednesday Night Dash iRacing League live at 10:15pm Eastern time almost every Wednesday on Stadium Scene TV: https://www.youtube.com/c/stadiumscene ----------- F-R Racing's Garage Talk LIVE Raceday is powered by F1 TV Pro.

A big week for iRacing content on this week's F-R Racing's Garage Talk! We kick off the show by recapping the iRacing Petit Le Mans 10-hour endurance race from Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta in the LMP2 class. Erik recaps his 2.5-hour racing stint and the challenges of remaining focused during that time. We talk about great runs from Ian Miller (who led our first-ever endurance laps), Hunter Hughes (who was wrecked by a weaving LMP2 car), and Mark Vicars closing out the late stint with a strong run chasing down and almost catching a car that started the stint up multiple laps. P10 in the class and P16 (of 38) overall was a great performance considering that if you subtract the repair time, the team would have finished P2 in class and P8 overall behind six hypercars and the LMP2 winner. A strong performance from both Erik and D.J. in this week's iRacing Behind Closed Doors from Nashville Superspeedway led to the team's first-ever 1-2 finish (Erik winning) in a league race. We recap the challenge of the fuel strategy race and how both cars were very close to running out of fuel when taking the checkered flag. We close out the league racing discussion with our mixed results during Wednesday Night Dash from Homestead Miami Speedway. Finally, we close out the show with a brief Roval discussion and the heat challenges of the Qatar Grand Prix including a driver throwing up, one driver retiring due to almost fainting in the car, and Alonso asking permission to have a bucket of cold water dumped on him during a pit stop. --------- Our Discord: https://discord.gg/zvFC9naUMw Follow F-R Racing: Blog: https://www.frracingonline.com Facebook: https://facebook.com/frracingonline Twitter: https://twitter.com/frracingonline Instagram: https://instagram.com/frracingonline Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/frracingonline TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@frracingonline Twitch: https://twitch.tv/frracingonline Listen to the episode in Podcast Form: https://anchor.fm/frracingonline ---------- Don't forget to check out Wednesday Night Dash iRacing League live at 10:15pm Eastern time almost every Wednesday on Stadium Scene TV: https://www.youtube.com/c/stadiumscene ----------- F-R Racing's Garage Talk LIVE Raceday is powered by F1 TV Pro.
