PODCAST: Hard Left Turn - NASCAR, iRacing bring back some normality

For the first time in two weeks, NASCAR fans were treated to some racing action - but not the usual kind.

The Hard Left Turn crew takes a look at Sunday’s inaugural eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series race at virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway, including:

-Denny Hamlin made a last lap pass on Dale Earnhardt, Jr. to win the Dixie Vodka 150 on the iRacing simulator.

-The NASCAR world embraced the event.  Our crew talks about how nice it was to get back to normal with Sunday racing, even if it was virtual racing.

-What could this mean for the future of racing in general?

-Our crew talks about what we can expect over the next few months as the motorsports world deals with the COVID-19 shut down.
