Fox Sports to broadcast virtual NASCAR Homestead-Miami race on Sunday following coronavirus-related cancellations
Fox Sports will be airing the first race of the online eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series on FS1 in place of the canceled Homestead-Miami NASCAR Cup race on Sunday, March 22, at 1:30 ET, and the announcing team will include Fox regulars Jeff Gordon, Mike Joy and Larry McReynolds.
NASCAR has postponed its season through at least May 3 in an effort to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, but several Cup, Xfinity and Gander RV & Outdoors Truck series drivers have jumped at the chance to take part in the realistic sim racing series organized by iRacing.
iRacing currently runs several full-season eSports racing series that include the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series, and last week it put together the live-streamed Replacements 100 to fill the gap created by the cancellation NASCAR’s race weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Team Penske spotter Josh Williams took the checkered flag ahead of William Byron, Bubba Wallace, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and a mix of other NASCAR drivers and crew members.
