How a Simulator Could’ve Helped Cleetus’ Zig and Zag—And Can Prep You for Your Next Track Day!

We all saw Cleetus' wild Zig and Zag moment in the ARCA Series—one of those split-second situations where experience and preparation make all the difference. While nothing replaces real seat time, a proper racing simulator could’ve helped him anticipate and react even faster.

At Academy Sim Racing, we build high-end professional-grade simulators designed by racers, not gamers. Our rigs help drivers learn new tracks, fine-tune their race-craft, and prepare for those inevitable “oh no” moments—without burning through tires, fuel, or fenders.

If you’re gearing up for your next track day or just want to stay sharp between races, a properly dialed-in simulator is a game-changer. And Cleetus—if you ever want to relive that moment and see how a sim could have changed the outcome, we’d love to set you up with one.

We’ve worked with major brands and fellow racers, and we'd love to work with you too. Let us know when you're ready for a simulator test drive—we’ll even bring a few out for you and your crew to try!

Let’s get you race-ready, the smart way.
