The simulation cars and stars of the eXlander Pro Series will take to the track for one final time in the 2011 season as the Late Models roll into Bristol Motor Speedway Sunday, September 11th for the Fallen Heroes 200 Presented by Grand Touring (GT) Vodka. This is the fifth event on the Summer schedule for the popular late model series, which runs on a wide array of oval tracks provided on the iRacing Motorsports Simulation service.

Entering competition on Sunday night, the points championship is all but wrapped up for Middletown, Connecticut’s Paul Strickland Jr. Strickland leads his nearest competitor Jeremy Hughes (Kingsport, Tennessee) by 39 points, meaning if Strickland can keep his nose clean on the #94 eXlander Designs/Grand Touring Vodka Chevrolet Monte Carlo he will be crowned champion by night’s end.

Paul Strickland leads the eXlander Pro Series regulars into Thunder Valley for Sunday's Fallen Heroes 200.

That task is easier said than done though as over two dozen of the fastest Late Model competitors on the iRacing service are set to congregate to attack Bristol’s half-mile, high-banked configuration in front of the cameras of WebRacingNetwork.com. Names such as NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship competitor Chad Coleman, Kingsport Speedway Late Model Champion Nate Monteith, Blake Jones, Chris Swett, Allen Krier and Steve Luvender are among the favorites heading into Sunday night’s race.

Practice for the Fallen Heroes 200 Presented by GT Vodka begins at 8pm with qualifying for the event slated for 8:55pm. The 200-lap main event is set to go green around 9pm (all times eastern), which at that time the Web Racing Network (WRN) will go live to air with flag-to-flag coverage of the race.
