Blake explains to Wellesley school kids how NASCAR drivers are hitting the virtual track

Now that NASCAR is taking a break like the rest of us, NASCAR drivers, including Blake and the NASCAR Drive for Diversity Development Team (D4D) are practicing and competing virtually through iRacing. This week Blake took a few minutes during one of his daily practices to explain how sim racing works to some local school kids at the Fiske School where Blake’s mom teaches. Blake’s simulator is set up just like the inside of a real race car with gas and break pedals, a real steering wheel and seat and shifting capability. During these virtual races, Blake will pit and keep his eyes on tire and oil pressure… just like he would in a real race.
