DAYTONA\u00a0BEACH, Fla. (April 22, 2020) \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>NASCAR, Race Team Alliance and Motorsport Games\u00a0announced today the highly anticipated\u00a0eNASCAR\u00a0Heat Pro League\u2122\u00a0season two kicks\u00a0off\u00a0tonight\u00a0at\u00a08\u00a0p.m. ET at virtual\u00a0Homestead-Miami Speedway. The series will again be\u00a0streamed on eNASCAR.com, as well as NASCAR Heat\u2019s Twitch and Facebook.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\u00a0eNASCAR\u00a0Heat Pro League debut last year highlighted the significant opportunity for our esports platforms,\u201d said Tim Clark, senior vice president and chief digital officer, NASCAR. \u201cWe\u2019re excited about season two, and in the midst of this sport\u2019s hiatus, we\u2019re proud those platforms can help fill that void for our fans.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2020 season features\u00a014\u00a0races\u00a0at tracks\u00a0across\u00a0the NASCAR circuit,\u00a0including\u00a0Eldora Speedway,\u00a0Road America\u00a0and\u00a0Iowa Speedway,\u00a0with gamers showcasing their skills in all three of NASCAR\u2019s national series.\u00a0The 14-race season is broken up into three four-race segments, with\u00a0one\u00a0driver per platform\u00a0(Xbox One\u2122\u00a0and\u00a0PlayStation\u00ae4)\u00a0capturing\u00a0a\u00a0spot in\u00a0the\u00a0Championship\u00a0race\u00a0as well as\u00a0a shot at the $200,000 prize pool.\u00a0In addition, a\u00a0final wildcard event\u00a0at the virtual\u00a0Daytona International Speedway\u00a0in\u00a0July will allow for two more drivers to\u00a0secure\u00a0their Championship hopes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201ceNASCAR\u00a0Heat Pro League competition helps create yet another opportunity for teams across NASCAR to engage with fans and grow their presence in the evolving esports space,\u201d said\u00a0Dmitry\u00a0Kozko, CEO, Motorsport Games. \u201cWith an increased prize pool to $200,000\u00a0and a new schedule format, competitors and teams have more on the line\u00a0this season,\u00a0and the racing is sure to\u00a0show it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0eNASCAR\u00a0Heat Pro League will once again offer gamers the opportunity to race for one of 14 NASCAR teams, with\u00a0all of last year\u2019s teams returning. Prior to the virtual draft on April 8, organizations were\u00a0required\u00a0to clear\u00a0at least\u00a0one\u00a0roster spot from last year.\u00a0Chip Ganassi Gaming,\u00a0GoFas\u00a0Gaming and Joe Gibbs Gaming elected\u00a0to start with fully clean slates. Teams had a pool of 48 gamers to choose from, with the draft order determined by inverse point standings from last season.\u00a0Draft results\u00a0and team rosters\u00a0can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The debut season of the\u00a0eNASCAR\u00a0Heat Pro League produced\u00a0over one million live views of\u00a0its race broadcasts and numerous live events throughout the year, including a\u00a0live draft at Phoenix Raceway, an in-person\u00a0race at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the\u00a0Championship\u00a0finale at NASCAR\u2019s Arena 43 in Charlotte, North Carolina.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0eNASCAR\u00a0Heat Pro League features\u00a028 gamers from\u00a014 teams, each owned and operated by prominent NASCAR race teams. Each team fields two drivers, one\u00a0racing\u00a0on Xbox One\u2122\u00a0and the other on\u00a0PlayStation\u00ae4, all competing for a shared championship. The\u00a0eNASCAR\u00a0Heat Pro League transitioned to NASCAR Heat 4, the latest game in the NASCAR Heat franchise, last September, prior to the 2019 playoffs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
