Jim Beaver eSports Runs it Back for 2026 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series

Jim Beaver eSports is pleased to announce the return of Kollin Keister and Nate Stewart to its Ford Mustangs for the 2026 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series. Keister will return to the #15 car with new sponsorship from Kicker, while Stewart will return to the #5 car with Misadventure Life Apparel branding.

Keister clinched his eligibility to return to the Championship Series with a playoff berth last year, winning at Las Vegas in the spring in one of JBeS’ first races since returning to the series and finishing 10th in final points. Stewart retained his series eligibility after finishing 15th in the Qualifying Series standings, scoring four top-five finishes across 11 rounds split between NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and Cup Series machines.

Last year, JBeS won its second eNASCAR Paint of the Year award as chosen by iRacing for Stewart’s “Traveler” scheme, as run in the early stages of the season. To celebrate, the team will not only return Traveler to the track for May 19’s season opener at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but also its 2022 award winner, the Travis Pastrana throwback paint that was run at Darlington Raceway that season by Blake Reynolds.

“One of the things we’re proudest of at Jim Beaver eSports is that drivers want to stick with us for our culture,” said team owner Jim Beaver. “Working with Kollin and Nate last year really put the fun into eNASCAR for us. We went into the season focused on having a good time, and getting back to the winner’s circle was a bonus. We’re thrilled to have both of them back in our cars for 2026, and we expect another fun year ahead!”

The eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Championship Series streams on Tuesday nights at 8PM ET at eNASCAR.com/live. The season kicks off on May 19 at Charlotte Motor Speedway and concludes on October 13 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. For more information on the series, visit iracing.com/enascar.
