IROC XXX
IROC season
IROC XXX was the 30th season of the Crown Royal International Race of Champions, which began on Friday, February 17, 2006 at Daytona International Speedway. The all-star roster included thirteen drivers (in twelve cars) from seven premier racing series. Tony Stewart consistently ran up front and won two races to win the championship, ahead of the equally consistent Matt Kenseth by 12 points. As with the past two seasons, the drivers used their car colors and numbers from their native series (when feasible). This was also the first IROC season since 1991 to include a road course race (held on the Daytona International Speedway road course).
The roster of drivers and final points standings were as follows:

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “IROC XXX” as iROC season. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as iROC season. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q607907. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006 and 1991.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
