Garage Talk – Rolex 24 Recap, D.J.’s 90s NASCAR Diecast Collection, iRacing Indy League Preview
We’re back with our second episode of 2025 and we have a lot to talk about regarding the drama at the Rolex 24, some iRacing league previews, and D.J. pulls out his 90s NASCAR diecast collection.
First up, there is a lot to digest from the weekend including a post-race disqualification for one of the class winners, Tommy Milner’s “iconic” reaction to a BMW driver, a big wreck during the overnight hours, and a massive wreck to start the second race of the MX-5 Cup. We checked in with our friend Heather Hadley, who was part of the big wreck and she confirmed she was ok.
Next, D.J. decides to pull out his case of 1990s NASCAR diecast and we review some of the sponsors we used to see in NASCAR back in the ’90s and the hilarious “edits” to the tobacco and alcohol sponsors on the “kids” versions of the cars. What, no Miller Lite car for the kids?
Finally, we preview the upcoming iRacing Indy Racing World Series league, which kicks off Tuesday, February 4th at 10 pm on @Stadiumscene. There’s still room to join so head over to https://frracingonline.com/irws to learn more and register your spot. Our free Friday night GT series race is back next week (February 7th) with a 60-minute GT3 sprint race from Mount Panorama (Bathurst). There is no fee to join or standings to keep, and it’s also broadcast on Stadium Scene TV.

Recent Race Results
Race: iRacing Daytona 24
Results: Erik Richardson, Hunter Hughes, Ian Miller, and Tyler Vickery ran in the GTP/Hypercar class for the first time in the Ferrari 499P. The real stars of the show was the rain and the new dynamic track debris system that created chaos all over the track. Numerous accidents led to a P9 in class (of 21) and P33 overall (of 58). We look to bounce back stronger at Sebring in March.
