[JMH714]

I've practiced with Chad McCumbee in SK modified and Ryan Truex in Late Model.

Danica Patrick may have an account there, but she never touch it.

[Loz]

I'm not sure if Jacques Villeneuve has an account.

Danica could be using test mode though.

[davidan]

Yeah I think a number of them probably use it as training to learn tracks only not race in competitions. With that said I have raced with Dale Jr. a couple of times when I was in the BETA period with iRacing -- now I am never in races with him because our iRatings are so different. I also one time raced in a Truck Race at Phoenix against Bobby and Justin Labonte at the same time which was cool. I actually beat Bobby

That is true... I have read some where that Tony Eury Jr. gave her racing software to practice on. I don't know if it's iRacing or NR2003.

[Troy Dalton]

You can add Eric McClure (#24 Team Rensi Motorsports Ford) to the Nationwide list. He finished 17th at Daytona this year. I've raced with him a couple of times in the Late Model Tour. Nice guy.

[Jeff Chandler]

I ran with Dale Jr, Martin Truex and Kevin King at Daytona and California as a guest(not by them)a few years ago with NASCAR 2003, I finished 5th and 3rd, then last year I ran against AJ Allmendinger in another league using ARCA at Pocono, AJ finished 2nd and I finished 4th. AJ was pretty good but I think Tim coulda won that race.
Kevin King was in another league. He was on steroids or something He won both races and was never even threatened at Cali.
