In just its second race since returning to the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series, Jim Beaver eSports is victorious once again after taking the checkered flag in Tuesday night’s action from the virtual Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Kollin Keister took the #15 Misadventure Life Ford Mustang Dark Horse to victory lane after a perfectly executed pit strategy gave him substantially fresher tires than the rest of the field late, and he held off a strong charge in the closing laps to earn the victory.

The win was Keister’s second at eNASCAR’s highest level, and his first since the 2020 Coca-Cola 300 at Charlotte. During a flurry of cautions in the second half of the race, Keister pit for new tires on lap 74, more than 20 laps later than most of the leaders. The fresher rubber allowed him to carve through the field after the final restart, jumping from sixth to first with a pass on defending series champion Parker White. From there, Keister weathered a charge from Michael Cosey Jr., who got to his back bumper in the final corner but couldn’t get past.

Jim Beaver eSports has now won three of its last eight eNASCAR appearances dating back to the 2023 season. Garrett Lowe scored the team’s first two victories that summer at New Hampshire and Michigan on the way to fourth place in series points. The team sat out the 2024 season before returning for 2025 with veteran Keister in its flagship #15 car and rookie Nate Stewart in the companion #5 Misadventure Life Ford Mustang Dark Horse.

Keister’s winning paint scheme was modeled after team owner Jim Beaver’s Scarlet Witch, a Kawasaki Ridge specially built for the action sports lifestyle that made its debut at last year’s SEMA Show in Las Vegas. In addition, Keister competed in Jim Beaver’s 2024 Team tee, which is currently on sale for $19.95 on the Misadventure Life site.

The eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series runs on Tuesday nights at 8PM ET and can be seen live at eNASCAR.com/live. The season continues next Tuesday with its annual international round, which will take place at Brazil’s famed Interlagos circuit.
