Jim Beaver eSports Returns to eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series

Veteran Kollin Keister, rookie Nate Stewart to represent team in 2025

Jim Beaver eSports (JBE), veterans of multiple iRacing world championship series, will return to the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series for 2025 after a season off. The reloaded organization welcomes veteran driver Kollin Keister to its #15 Ford Mustang for the new campaign, while rookie Nate Stewart will helm the #5 Ford Mustang. Primary backing on the vehicles will include Misadventure Life, Jim Beaver’s official lifestyle and clothing brand.

JBE’s five-season run in eNASCAR left off after its most successful season yet in 2023. That season saw drivers Garrett Lowe and Malik Ray lead the team to its best-ever finish in the teams championship, with Lowe on stage in Charlotte as part of the Championship 4 and Ray just outside of the playoff picture at year’s end. Both drivers used the 2023 campaign as a springboard for 2024, with Ray picking up his long-awaited first series victory and Lowe parlaying his success into multiple real-world racing opportunities.

Keister enters his fifth eNASCAR season with a record of 17 top-10 finishes in 70 career starts. Keister scored his first series win in 2020’s Coca-Cola 300 at Charlotte, the longest race of his rookie season, and won the 2021 Contender Series title to earn his way back into the series for 2022 after falling out the following year. He’s been a mainstay of the driver roster ever since, with a career-high three top-five finishes last season.

Stewart is well known to the eNASCAR community for providing high-quality media through his Apex Action Photography brand, including JBE in 2023. He joins the series as a driver for the first time in 2025 after finding success in both the eNASCAR College iRacing Series and Toyota Gazoo Racing North America GR Esports Cup in recent years.
