Race Preview: eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series Dixie Vodka 150

Real-world motorsport may be on hold, but that doesn’t mean that racing itself has come to a halt. NASCAR, FOX Sports, and iRacing have teamed up for the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series, and Sunday marks the first race of the new venture with the Dixie Vodka 150 at Homestead-Miami Speedway (Sunday, 1:30PM ET, FS1).

Drivers have been preparing throughout the week for the event, with legends of the sport like Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Bobby Labonte and up-and-coming stars like Chase Briscoe and Ty Majeski set to join dozens of current NASCAR Cup Series stars in today’s race. Many of today’s competitors own teams in the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series, iRacing’s premier championship for professional sim racers, and have been practicing with their respective drivers to get warmed up for Sunday’s show.

The action begins at 10:30AM ET with a heat race to determine which NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series drivers will join the NASCAR Cup Series regulars in the 35-car field. From there, it’s as close to the real thing as you can get—complete with an invocation, national anthem, and even a pre-race concert from country music star and frequent iRacer Tim Dugger. Clint Bowyer will serve as the in-race reporter, competing live from FOX Sports’ studios in Charlotte.
