No. 2 MoneyLion Ford Mustang – Brad Keselowski

Start: 30th
Finish: 25th
Status: Running
Laps Completed: 100/100

Notes:
Brad Keselowski started 30th and finished 25th in Sunday’s eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational at the virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Keselowski raced inside the top-25 for most of the 100-lap event, which saw a multitude of caution periods.
Keselowski attempted to get on the same tire strategy late as eventual race-winner Denny Hamlin, but received damage slowing his charge to the front.

Quote: “I had a lot of fun but wrecked a lot. Congrats to Denny Hamlin on the victory. I tried to pit for new tires and be on the same strategy as Denny and crashed. Were glad to have a little racing action in the middle everything that’s going on. Wish it were on the real racetrack, this will have to do.”

No. 12 Odyssey Battery Ford Mustang – Austin Cindric

Start: 15th
Finish: 22nd
Status: Running
Laps Completed: 100/100

Notes:
Austin Cindric started 15th and finished 22nd in Sunday’s eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational at the virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Cindric raced his way into the 35-car field by transferring through the last-chance qualifier for Xfinity and Truck Series drivers.
Cindric would be involved in first the accident of the race but used a free-pass to fight his way back up to 22nd at the end of the 100-lap event.

Quote: “We finished 22nd but definitely had a lot of fun doing it. We had to do a lot of crash repair as I’m sure everyone did as well. My highlight was making it in the race through the last-race qualifier in the final transfer position. It was a good day and time well-spent, thanks to Odyssey Battery for coming on-board.”

No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Mustang – Joey Logano

Start: 19th
Finish: 15th
Status: Running
Laps Completed: 100/100

Notes:
Joey Logano started 19th and finished 15th in Sunday’s eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational at the virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Logano was consistently the highest running Team Penske Ford Mustang throughout the 100-lap invitational event, running as high as ninth by lap 50.
Logano would fall back to 26th by lap 65. Utilizing fresh tires and a reset he would drive from 26th to 15th by the end of 100 laps.

Quote: “We survived for a 15th-place finish. I probably could’ve been a little more patient. I don’t play iRacing regularly but overall, that was fun. It was definitely cool to see NASCAR, iRacing and the Pro Invitational Series trending on social media.”
