NEWS / UPDATESWe encourage all AMS drivers to join our Facebook group for all up to date info etc.
All AMS races are ran through iRacing league sessions. UPDATE 05/27/2020: Next up: Monday, June 1st: Daytona -Monday- AMS Cup Series - Daytona 250 (100 laps) Reminder: We will be using the current Cup cars (A-cars) All AMS race sessions open up at 7:30pm ET for open practice, with qualifying at 9:20pm ET. Hope to see you there. Good Luck and Have Fun. -------------- As far as the 5000iR, your iRating needs to be below 5000iR (oval) to start racing this season. IF an active driver exceeds 5000 during the course of the season, they will still be allowed to continue to race the remainder of the season. We expect all drivers to familiarize themselves with the Code of Conduct. *****There is a slight change at the top of the Code of Conduct page. (Please read) Our Off-Season Series near the end of the year will be using the '87 NASCAR cars at various tracks. More info on that later this year. Again, if you have any questions/concerns/etc, feel free to contact us on TeamSpeak, via message or contact. UPDATE 05/24/2020: Hi guys, Just to answer a few questions/concerns that I've heard/received. -AMS is still here and isn't going anywhere. If you are already part of the league, then you are all set. Some numbers have been freed up and a few more will be soon. -Some members have expressed interest in having the races broadcasted, so we will be working that out. As soon as we have more info, we will announce it. -A shake up this early in the season was never the plan. The plan was to make these changes next season, but after 1 OG admin quitting and 2 others ready to be done, waiting until Feb 2021 was just too far away. It was very clear that there were at least 2 schools of thought on how the league should be handled/run (basically OG admins vs. newer admins) that we decided that now was the time for the change. I truly appreciated all of the help and contributions from all of the admins (past and present). There was no hate or malice in the admin group (as far as I know), just maybe too many admins. -Our focus is more on quality over quantity. We've had many good races this year (for the most part) and hope to continue the good on-track experience. We want people to race as hard as they want. What we don't want is all of the negativity, putdowns and clowns. After the first couple of races, depending on the participation numbers, we may open up the league to new drivers. I personally think that we will have a good group. Any questions, feel free to message me. Thanks, Chris UPDATE 05/23/2020: ANNOUNCEMENT Some of you may know that over the past few years, my heart hasn't been in the league like it used to be. I am not that thrilled at the direction that it has gone over that time and was considering "retiring" from the league last year. I stayed this year to help the admins learn/do many of the tasks that I've been doing for years. As the owner, I was able to veto certain things or strongly suggest certain things, while at the same time letting the admins vote/decide on many things as well. There were a couple different directions that some admins/drivers seemed to want to go, so by making this move, it gives us both the freedom to go in the directions we feel is best. Well, after a decade or so, I (and others) thought it's time to go back to when the league was run a little more simpler and WAY more respectful. Myself, a few admins, and hopefully many of you drivers will join us for this "new" approach to AMS. Starting Monday, June 1st, we will be starting up a new 2020 season, with a more simpler respectful approach. We still look forward to good, hard competitive racing. Updated series: Use current (A) Cup cars. Still 1 fast repair. Shorter seasons. (2 seasons per year). iRating 5000 max. No caution warning list. (2 caused cautions in a race will still be parked for remainder of race) Problem drivers will be approached by admins with warning to clean it up. If problems continue after that, suspensions may be in order. Respect on AND off the track. (Code of Conduct) Broadcast - TBD Same day and times. The schedule (20 races- 13 regular season/7 Chase races) I've made ALOT of friends over the years, and to me, that's what Monday's were/are all about (besides the racing). We look forward to seeing you on the track. Thanks, Chris P.S. If you have any questions, please contact or message me. UPDATE 05/16/2020: Next Monday is an off week for the league. There will be a Mid-Ohio race setup in the B-Cars with a 40 lap race. Congratulations to Jon Schwartz on his win at Iowa Monday night. We had a great opening run of 110 laps caution free. Great Job on that everyone!! Top 5 2nd Clay Dildine 3rd Kaleb Isenhour 4th Randy Armes 5th Ryan Ferrell *********** All-Star Update ********* The All-Star race will use the 1987 Cup cars when they are released and North Wilkesboro will be used for the race. As of right now the race is scheduled for June 8th. North Wilkesboro has also been added to the schedule. B-Cars will be used for this. This WILL be a points race. ********* Caution List ******** Andrew Jay Fessenden Jr. (1 more clean race to be removed) Darian May (1 more clean race to be removed) ******************************* UPDATE 05/09/2020: ****UPDATED 05/15/32020**** Announcement: Schedule Changes: Hey everyone, we are going to be making a few changes to the schedule in light of recent news about iRacing's release of North Wilkesboro and 1987 Winston Cup Cars on June 2nd. The All-Star Race has been moved from May 18th to June 8th. This is so we can run the race at North Wilkesboro. We will be using the 1987 Winston Cup Cars for this race. More on the format for this race will come in the next few weeks. The non-points race at Mid-Ohio in the Xfinity cars will be moving from June 8th to May 18th. The July 20th points race at New Hampshire has been replaced with North Wilkesboro and will be using the current Xfinity cars. This race WILL still be a POINTS RACE. It will be 175 laps. Thank you for your understanding and we hope everyone enjoys these changes. UPDATE 05/08/2020: ***ANNOUNCEMENT** Next week @ Iowa we will be using the Michigan Fixed Setup.

Clay Dildine 3. Jon Schwartz 4. Mitchell Reaves 5. Kevin James We had a lot of cautions Monday night. 11 cautions, our most this season. Right now we feel there is a lack of respect towards each other. We must all respect each other on and off the track. We appreciate your cooperation in following our rules and being a part of great racing. We understand mistakes happen but the amount of mistakes happening, whether a caution comes out or not, is at an unacceptable level. We will begin to notify drivers if the quality of driving is at a level that needs to improve and implementing penalties if needed. When a wreck is ahead, YOU MUST SLOW DOWN, and do your best to avoid the incident. Actions will be taken towards drivers who do not follow this expectation. Additionally, the following members have been barred from racing: 1. Thomas Conheady 2. Scott Sanderson 3. Greg Elliott 4. Clint Collins These changes are intended to improve the racing offered at Amsleague. ********Caution List******* Topper Dugas (Removed from caution list) Matthew Hoyle (Removed from caution list) Ryan LaFalce (1 Race left without caution to be removed from list) Johnathon Manzella (Added to list as of Homestead) *************************** UPDATE 03/17/2020: Congratulations to Glenn Murphy Jr on his win tonight at Atlanta!

Next week we run 125 laps at Homestead Miami Speedway. Also: We are going to start cracking down on people running incorrect numbers (or none at all). If you do not join the session with the correct number, you will not be allowed to start the race. Another thing: Once again, if you see a wreck happening in front of you, please do not ARCA Brake it and try to make up positions. Thank you everyone for coming out.

Many anticipated a tough road ahead with the race session set for 3 fast repairs (Thanks Dalton Baldwin) and a full field of 43 drivers. However, with the odds stacked high for a caution fest and tire wear being an issue to some in the field, the AMS League Cup Series drivers all hit the jackpot with green flag runs and only 6 cautions. Tyler Popp and Glenn Murphy Jr dominated the race where they lead 89 of the 125 laps combined. Tyler Popp ultimately won the 188-mile race after a great restart with 18 laps till the checkered flag. Jon Schwartz would claim the first loser spot in second place and Josh Thaxton finished in the lucky 3rd spot. Glenn Murphy Jr fell to fourth place and new comer Mitchell Reaves would round out your top 5. The AMS League Cup Series next heads to Fontana for the Auto Club 200 on March 2nd. As usual, practice starts at 7:30PM Eastern, qualifying at 9:20PM and grid at 9:25PM. See ya’ll next week! IF YOU HAVE A THREE DIGIT NUMBER PLEASE CHOOSE SOME OF THE OUTSTANDING SINGLE AND DOUBLE DIGIT NUMBERS LEFT. Check the website at AMSLeague.com. Thanks! CAUTION: Kevin James Troczynski - 1st Friendly Warning Clearing Black Flags: We have made a slight change to our clearing black flag procedure. If you receive a passing under yellow black flag we will clear the penalty HOWEVER, you then will receive an EOL penalty. We feel like the iRacing green flag penalty is a bit much but still want some sort of penalty to try and prevent these things from happening. All other black flag rules will be staying the same. Most black flags are non clearable and will be at the admins discretion. Please read the rules on the website if you are not sure what they are. If you have any questions feel free to message any of the admins. UPDATE 02/19/2020: Congratulations to our Top 5: Shane Nicewonger Randy Squeak Armes Dalton Baldwin Zachary Carr Greg Elliott It's great to get the season back started.We had to clear a lot of black flags for cars not in the proper order. We think this is an issue from being at Daytona but, please be mindful of where you should be while pacing.
