CHARLOTTE, N.C. — NASCAR provided live action to its fans with a virtual race at Homestead-Miami Speedway that was televised nationally.
NASCAR got 35 of its drivers to participate in the event, which was won by three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin.
He raced barefoot on a simulator in the living room of his North Carolina home.
NASCAR has suspended racing until at least May 9, so series executives and iRacing put together the inaugural eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series.
The first event was at Homestead, where NASCAR was supposed to be racing Sunday before COVID-19 brought sports to a halt.
