The eNASCAR Pro Invitational Series is underway, beginning with Sunday’s race at a virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Ross Chastain had a solid afternoon despite finishing 14th among 35 drivers. Chastain had a couple of run-ins with other racers in the 100-lap race, including a collision with William Byron on Lap 28 that sent Chastain flying into the Turn 1 wall.
Chris Buescher, meanwhile, finished 28th. He too had to overcome a couple of crashes, finishing a full lap behind eventual-winner Denny Hamlin.
Here are a few highlights from Sunday’s race:

This is just Week 1 of the multi-week series, so both Chastain and Buescher have time to improve.
