New iRacing modified on the way? iRacing teased a scan of an all-new NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour race car, much to the delight of the community, including modified standout and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Ryan Preece. https://twitter.com/RyanPreece_/status/1111043378945421312 Bristol Xfinity Practice Todd Gilliland, Christian Eckes, and newly-announced Xfinity Series driver Harrison Burton have spent some time preparing for NASCAR's visit to Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend. https://twitter.com/ToddGilliland_/status/1112086559107497985 https://twitter.com/christianeckes/status/1112867453498019841 Luza wins PEAK iRacing Series race at Texas The eNASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series made its fourth stop of the season Tuesday at Texas Motor Speedway. Hometown driver Ryan Luza took the checkered flag, his second of the season, after a wild final lap. https://twitter.com/pkligerman/status/1110735458995265536 Tuesday's race marked the debut of Team Dillon eSports and Letarte eSports. https://twitter.com/iRacing/status/1110639482808750081 https://twitter.com/SteveLetarte/status/1110737961354706944 Check out the video remix recap of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUiqKFHGl1s Full race recap on eNASCAR.com Quadruple Duty for Timmy Hill Timmy Hill had a busy week at Texas Motor Speedway, competing in the weekend's three NASCAR national touring series races. https://twitter.com/TimmyHillRacer/status/1111243488589426689 However, Hill also started Tuesday's eNASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series race, meaning he was the lone driver to do the quadruple. Unprecedented! Hill exited the iRacing race early and finished 39th, while FlipSid3 Tactics teammate Ryan Luza had slightly better luck, winning the race.

eNASCAR Heat Pro League Preparation Continues With the draft in the books, drivers and teams continue to prepare for the launch of the eNASCAR Heat Pro League. https://twitter.com/BrianTedeschi/status/1111290447538913280 https://twitter.com/ElijahWhosoever/status/1111092216448122880 https://twitter.com/StewartHaasGmng/status/1110942150982856706 iRacing Paint Scheme of the Week Sometimes, you just want to stay out of trouble. Dan DeNayer assembled this very clever and eye-catching "Don't Wreck Me" car to warn competitors to steer clear. Does it work? Maybe.

Video of the Week Bobby Zalenski went for a wild ride on the final lap of Tuesday's eNASCAR PEAK Antifreeze iRacing Series race. Just how insane was it? Well, iRacing's video editors may have embellished a tiny bit what happened when Zalenski's Joe Gibbs Racing machine was launched into the air when racing for a top-10 finish at Texas. https://twitter.com/iRacing/status/1112836615628640257
