Wide World of eSports: Drafting with Burton, CBell’s Gift to iRacing, and Heat Pro League Finalists
Pack Racing Practice with the Pros
You never know when your favorite NASCAR up-and-comers might fire up iRacing and turn some laps ahead of Daytona.

Larson and Bell talk iRacing and Chili Bowl
Clearly, this interview took place before the contentious finish between the two for the Chili Bowl race win.
Bell’s Helmet
Chili Bowl winner and Xfinity Series driver Christopher Bell sent his race-winning helmet to iRacing boss Steve Myers, which Myers half-jokingly suggested Bell donated if he won the race with iRacing sponsorship. Sure enough, Bell came through.
Man, I try and do a funny tweet to pump up @CBellRacing for the @cbnationals and said if he wins he needs to send his helmet up. Now I feel bad that he did! It will look nice in your corner though! pic.twitter.com/iITHfB6PDW

That is sick! Who thinks @CBellRacing should send that up to the office if he takes home another @cbnationals driller to hang out with his suit from last year? https://t.co/Zfvjar4jyL

eNASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series Update
NASCAR and pro eSports teams including JR Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing, Wood Brothers Racing, Clint Bowyer Racing, Williams Esports, Richmond Raceway Esports, G2 Esports, FlipSid3 Tactics, and Team Renegades will participate in a driver’s draft January 30 for eligible eNASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series drivers.
With over $100,000 in winnings on the line in celebration of the series’ 10th season, some iRacing drivers rose to the occasion as the Pro Series qualification period came to a close.
Last night I was outside looking in on making the @iRacing @NASCAR Peak Antifreeze Series. A top 5 was needed to advance to become an online E-Sports racer and a shot at $100,000 in prizes. So I won the pole, lead the most laps and took home my second ever win in the Pro Series. pic.twitter.com/Ki73bzEJe1

Last night I was not only able to transfer my way into the @NASCAR @peakauto @iRacing Series, but I also locked up the Pro Series championship! I can’t wait for what is to come for the 2019 season! Time to say goodbye to this baby for now though… pic.twitter.com/LbLSQS171V

While attending the Rolex 24 at Daytona, eNASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series competitor Logan Clampitt put his iRacing skills to the test, earning himself a test in a real race car in April.
Winner in the Mazda Hot Lap Challenge Finale! We’re going to VIR to test an MX-5 Cup Car in April. Thank you so much to @MazdaRacing and @iRacing for putting this event on. Absolute dream come true. pic.twitter.com/Z2pqGwszzc

eNASCAR Heat Pro League Update
704 Games released the list of top-50 drivers per platform based on performance — but, like in today’s age of racing, being a driver means more than just speed on-track. Draftees must now record and submit a video introduction, proving they can handle the spotlight as marketable eSports racers and that they’re the full package.

Soon, actual NASCAR teams will draft participants based on both performance data and off-track intangibles.
iRacing Paint Schemes of the Week
Even though Denny Hamlin’s 2019 paint scheme was just unveiled Monday, Brantley Roden re-created it for iRacing for those who want to drive the world’s fastest delivery vehicle in the virtual world.
Painter Julian Madore put a spin on the famous 2001 Rolex 24 at Daytona ride for Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr — creatively porting their Corvette to a modern-day Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

We must admit, this is a fine last-lap photo-finish pass at Dover against one of the game’s greats.
