* AscendedFanboy:
** Josh Berry was discovered by Dale Earnhardt, Jr. on the sim. Berry impressed Junior, which prompted Little-E to take the talented simracer to the real world by fielding the number 88 Speedco Late Model for him. He performed so good in the Late Models, he has recently doing several Nationwide/Xfinity races, with equally good results too. In fact, [[http://www.motorsport.com/nascar-xs/news/dale-jr-says-berry-just-one-sponsorship-away-from-making-it/ Junior recently said that if he can find enough sponsorship for Berry, he will run one of his Xfinity cars full time next year,]] [[http://beyondtheflag.com/2015/09/17/nascar-dale-jr-predicts-chase-wants-to-run-four-cars-in-2016/ possibly even expanding his team from three cars to four to make a room for Berry.]]
** [=iRacing=] itself can be said to be this, as with the 2020 coronavirus pandemic putting a stop on all sporting events, many current and former drivers have taken to racing on here and streaming it to fill in as a substitute for the real thing and keeping their fans entertained.



* BadassDriver: Many real-life race car drivers use iRacing to train, and regularly interact with amateur users. Some race car drivers, like Timmy Hill and Josh Berry, were discovered in iRacing and signed to real-world race teams.
