Wide World of eSports: Kaz Grala races on easy mode, PEAK iRacing Series at Vegas, and NASCAR teams compete for Heat Pro League draft order
Easy mode?
In Saturday’s Gander Outdoors Truck Series race, Kyle Busch made his march through the field look easy. Or, as Xfinity Series driver Kaz Grala put it, as if he were playing NASCAR Heat 3.
