Updates from the Armchair: Richmond prep, Camaro ZL1 paint schemes, and an iRacing tattoo

With NASCAR racing at Richmond Raceway this weekend, drivers like Xfinity Series racer Spencer Boyd are getting ready by turning some virtual laps. https://twitter.com/SpencerBoyd/status/1041856302455107586 You may not know it, but underdog NASCAR driver Timmy Hill is one of the best iRacing drivers online. This week, he streamed a race on Twitch, showing off his thoughtful, calculated manner of racing that’s earned him one of the highest iRating scores on iRacing. https://twitter.com/TimmyHillRacer/status/1039560906659823616 NASCAR PEAK ANTIFREEZE iRACING SERIES UPDATE Logan Clampitt won his first race in nearly two years Tuesday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway — the second race of the NASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series playoffs. While Clampitt didn’t make the eight-driver playoff field, it was still a breakthrough victory for the Californian, who led the most laps in the race. https://twitter.com/lclampitt44/status/1039723477576511488 Catch the race recap from the Brickyard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmaAvHaqbd4 With two races until the Championship 4 is set, three spots are still up for grabs following Michael Conti’s victory in the post-season opener at Darlington. https://twitter.com/evanposocco/status/1039725453034962944   IRACING PAINT SCHEMES OF THE WEEK iRacing painters had some fun with the release of iRacing’s Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 race car. Jordan Werth brought Scott Riggs’ 2005 car into the year 2018, and it looks sharp on the new Camaro ZL1. Dustin Winegardner re-created a stunning version of Jimmie Johnson’s rookie car that looks even better on the Camaro ZL1 than it did in 2002. What do you say, Lowe’s Racing? Can we see this one on the real track? Please?   DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME Think you love iRacing? Well, you probably don’t love it as much as iRacer and commentator Wil Vincent, who showed off his iRacing ink. https://twitter.com/iRacingMyers/status/1040275242499883009
