The NXRL: The Premiere XBOX Racing League

  Founded in the Fall of 2008 by Lamar Colyer (lc12592), LC's Nascar 09 League started off as just a small thing for online friends. Using EA Sports Nascar 09 as it's format, we raced twice a week, every week. Eventually the idea came about to place the league races on Youtube. That's where I came in. I set up the equipment and started recording each race. At first the production quality wasn't that great, but as time went by it slowly got better.

By the second season, we started getting more and more views. Before we knew it, we reached the 100 subscriber mark. At the end of the second season, Lamar decided he didn't want the burden of managing the league and passed it down to me, cypherXR. He still raced with us, but no longer managed the points, website, etc. Thus, the league was renamed the CypherXR League.

During season 3, the production quality of our races starting to go into overdrive, no pun intended. We added more drivers, which upped the ante as well as expanded the chase. It was a very successful season.

Onward to season 4. We quickly gained more and more subscribers who loved the action, excitement and sometimes off the wall action our league races provided. It culminated it what was the closest chase in league history.

As we neared nearly 900 subsrcibers, I regretfully decided to put the season on hold while I dealt with real life issues that needed my full attention. During this downtime, a new NASCAR game was announced. NASCAR the Game 2011. This of course had everyone in the console NASCAR gaming community excited as there had not been a console NASCAR game since EA's Nascar 09. After all of my personal dealings were in order, I made the decision to make a change. The league would return. But not how anyone expected.

Using the new NASCAR the Game 2011 from Eutechnyx as our platform, we moved forward to the future. The league was reborn as The National XBOX Racing League (NXRL). Same drivers, same high quality entertainment. New game, new name and new look. Expanding our field from 14 to 16 drivers, individual race rewards, stat tracking, social networking integration and forums, we hope to continue to be the standard for NASCAR racing on XBOX Live.

Our league was and still is about entertainment. From Serpo announcing to the world he likes donkey penis to Uppernight getting into fights. From Bronxbomber's surprise win at Indy to my numerous dramatic fuel mileage wins. From glitches at Infineon to Waffle's amazing Chase comeback. We had something for everyone. That's what the NXRL is all about. We don't claim to be the best racers in the world, but we do try to put on a good show for our fans and have fun doing it.

Thank you to all the fans who have helped us get to this point and watch our videos every week. We hope you enjoy this new look and we look forward to providing you with the best racing action on XBOX Live and Youtube. God bless.
