Hamlin is already an avid iRacing driver and owns an esports team that competes in the dedicated eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing series. He used an advanced driving rig with widescreen displays for the event, which was broadcast live on Fox Sports 1.

Hamlin won with a bump on Earnhardt exiting the final turn, with Timmy Hill taking third place ahead of Chase Briscoe and Garrett Smithley. Despite coming up short, Earnhardt tweeted that he had a blast in the race, which was run without any prize money for the competitors.
