Jim Beaver eSports will officially kick off its fifth season as a part of the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series on Tuesday night, fielding an all-new driver lineup in the first points race of the year at Daytona International Speedway. Drivers Malik Ray and Garrett Lowe will take the wheel of the team’s pair of Ford Mustangs, which will be running Ken Block tribute schemes for the opening round put together by 2022 eNASCAR Paint Scheme of the Year painter Matt Kalish. The race will stream live at eNASCAR.com/live at 9PM ET, with Countdown to Green coverage immediately preceding.

I had been looking forward to catching up somewhere down the line this year. After all, it seemed like there’d be plenty of opportunities. Instead, I’m reckoning, as with the rest of our world, with the fact that Ken Block is gone.
