Bell's Helmet
Chili Bowl winner and Xfinity Series driver Christopher Bell sent his race-winning helmet to iRacing boss Steve Myers, which Myers half-jokingly suggested Bell donated if he won the race with iRacing sponsorship. Sure enough, Bell came through.

eNASCAR Heat Pro League Update
704 Games released the list of top-50 drivers per platform based on performance -- but, like in today's age of racing, being a driver means more than just speed on-track. Draftees must now record and submit a video introduction, proving they can handle the spotlight as marketable eSports racers and that they're the full package.
