Win at DraftKings for today’s eNASCAR race from Texas Motor Speedway

After a successful debut virtually racing at Homestead Motor Speedway last week, the brand new eNASCAR Pro Invitational iRacing Series returns this week, this time using the Texas Motor Speedway as the eAsphalt while the actual track remains on hold. The race is at 1 p.m. ET and FOX will broadcast it.

Denny Hamlin was last week’s winner, bumping Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the last lap to take the checkered flag. The ratings were a hit for Fox as well, with a projected 903,000 people watching the digitized race.

And your friends at DraftKings will give away $10,000 as part of a free entry picks pool for those that can answer 11 questions about the race the most accurately! While entry is free to all, there are plenty of tough decisions to be made for contest entrants ahead of what will be a 125-lap race on the 1.5 mile virtual track.

Here’s a few of the 11 questions from the contest:

Who will have the highest finish this week?

* Denny Hamlin
* Dale Earnhardt Jr.
* Timmy Hill
* Chase Briscoe
* Garrett Smithley

These are the top five runners from last week in order, but we’re gonna go with Earnhardt Jr. to hold on this week and get the win. He’s not a competitive racer anymore, so he’s got more time to commit to practicing iRacing, and you could tell last week got his competitive juices flowing. Must be genetic.

Who will have the highest finish this week?

* William Byron
* Parker Kligerman
* Bubba Wallace
* Alex Bowman
* Landon Cassill

Let’s go with William Byron to get his for NASCAR Series win on a digital screen. He’s one of the first drivers with an extensive history on the virtual circuit, and it actually helped him get a full-time ride in the Axalta #24.

Will Kyle Busch finish in the Top 10?

Despite three Top-10’s including a win in his last four races at at Texas when he’s burning real fuel, Busch finished 29th last week. Nobody gets that good at virtual racing that fast. We’ll go with a no here.

Below is the projected field for the eNASCAR Pro Invitational iRacing Series at Texas Motor Speedway today at 1:00 p.m. Note that qualifying will take place just before the race, thus this is not the grid order.
