Editor's note: The NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing series resumes at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 24 at Richmond.

Stream the race live Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET iRacing’s a favorite hobby of plenty of NASCAR fans -- and young drivers studying for school, apparently. C’mon, William. We see the steering wheel in your tweet. We know you performed a typical William Byron butt-whooping in an iRacing race then tabbed over to your college work for the picture.

There was no fooling Erik Jones, at least.

Prior to Saturday night’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race, Richmond Raceway held a live iRacing event in the track’s amphitheater, including NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze Series stars from Richmond Raceway’s own CHAOS CREW iRacing team, NASCAR driver Spencer Boyd, and Rowdy Burns. Really.

The race wasn’t an easy go for Rowdy from "Days of Thunder." (Michael Rooker).

NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series Update

The stars of the NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series head to the virtual Richmond Raceway on Tuesday night for Race 5 of the season.

Last week’s winner, Ryan Luza, is searching for his third consecutive win after claiming checkered flags at Auto Club and Las Vegas.

Current points leader and three-time series champ Ray Alfalla hopes to put an end to Luza’s winning streak while defending his 2017 victory at the short track.

iRacing Paint Schemes of the Week

Brantley Roden painted Kyle Busch’s M&Ms Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Richmond-winning Toyota Camry.

John Mustian Jr. created a replica of Alan Kulwicki’s 1989 car — on a 2018 Ford Fusion.

Speaking of historic re-creations, Jordan Werth brought Ken Schrader’s famous 2003 Carrot Top car back to life on iRacing, for reasons unknown.

The artists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
