Race Preview: eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series Toyota Owners 150
April 19th, 2020 by Chris Leone
TUNE IN: SUNDAY, 1PM ET // FOX, FS1, FOX Sports app
Back-to-back short tracks are on tap for the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series, as the top drivers from the NASCAR Cup Series head to Richmond Raceway for their fourth round of virtual racing. The Toyota Owners 150 presented by Toyota (1PM ET, FOX/FS1/FOX Sports app) will look a little bit different, as the events keep evolving with new drivers, format changes, and plenty of excitement.
Today’s action returns to the single-race format used prior to the Food City Showdown at Bristol Motor Speedway two weeks ago, while this week’s entry list cuts the field to 30 and takes away the opportunity for drivers to use a reset. That means that new addition and former NASCAR Cup Series champion Kevin Harvick will be thrown right into the fire, although it’ll be at a track where he’s won three times in the real world, most recently in 2013.
William Byron enters today as the likely favorite after a series of dominant performances finally paid off with a win at Bristol, while fellow Pro Invitational race winners Denny Hamlin and Timmy Hill will look to return a Toyota to the winner’s circle at a key event for the brand. In Sunday morning’s transfer race, Bobby Labonte, Landon Cassill, Daniel Suarez, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. earned the final four spots in the field—and judging by how multiple drivers on that list have run week in and week out, there’s a good chance that any of them could become the first transfer driver to win a race by the end of today.
