Jim Beaver eSports drivers Malik Ray and Garrett Lowe are ready to do battle in the third round of the 2023 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series tonight, as the championship heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway. Coverage kicks off at 8:30PM ET with Countdown to Green, before the green flag itself falls at 9PM ET.
Nobody on the eNASCAR grid has had a better start to the season than Ray, driver of the #7 Belching Beaver Brewery Ford. After finishing second in the opener at Daytona thanks to a prolific drive through the field in the closing laps, Ray muscled his way into the lead for 18 laps in the DBOX 100 at Milwaukee two weeks ago, and eventually finished fourth. That enabled him to take the championship lead heading into Atlanta, which will see its current, more superspeedway-like configuration used for the first time—a positive note for Ray, one of eNASCAR’s best superspeedway racers.
For Lowe, his most recent eNASCAR win came on a different 1.5-mile tri-oval at Kansas Speedway last season, but the driver of the #15 Big Green Egg Ford would love nothing more than to get back in the winner’s circle on this one. Although bad luck has affected him in the first two Coke Series events, Lowe’s skills have been on display in the eNASCAR College iRacing Series, where he led the most laps from the pole in the opening round at Iowa and finished fourth in the second race at Dover.
