Power Ranking and Drivers
The world of virtual hot wheels is dominated by different top dogs, and one of them is Timmy Hill who has been doing quite well taking on the Bristol virtual raceway and almost clinching a victory there, but falling behind William Byron in the end.
However, in the overall standing, Byron is a close second who has definitely been putting in the time in the iRacing simulator to keep himself abreast with the best gamers. Ryan Preece comes third owing to his outstanding placement in the Bristol virtual race, finishing in the first ten drivers.
John Hunter Namecheck comes forth in this week’s power ranking, making an +8 headway. The full power ranking can be looked up on the official site of the organization. The rank list is based on the driver’s skill and performance behind the wheel in the esports race only.
Winners So Far
So far,there have been three winners in the esports race. It’s interesting to see andcompare the real-life NASCAR results and the esports competition.
- 3/22– Denny Hamlin
- 3/29– Timmy Hill
- 4/5– William Byron
So, for example, Hamlin is 11th in the 2020Standings, which is in line with his current performance, more or less.
Yet, Timmy Hill is 30th on a real raceway, and he definitely performs far better in a simulator. Byron himself is 19th in real-world races, but he does pretty well in the simulator.

The 2020 NASCAR Playoffs will trim the field from 16 drivers competing for the championship to 12 in two weeks, but all 38 drivers at the 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400 will be fighting to take the checkered flag at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night. The green flag drops at 7:30 p.m. ET and with just a 44-point gap between 16th and third position in the 2020 NASCAR standings, there will be a lot on the line when it does. Aric Almirola and Clint Bowyer are currently tied for 12th with 2,033 points and their battle could be an epic one over the next two weekends.
Almirola is at 25-1 in the 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400 odds from William Hill, while Bowyer is listed at 50-1. However, points leader Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr., who won both races at Richmond last season, are the 7-2 co-favorites in the NASCAR at Richmond odds.

Top 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400 predictions
One surprise: The model is high on Joey Logano, even though he's a 14-1 long shot in the latest NASCAR at Richmond odds from William Hill. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Logano enters Saturday night's race at third in the standings, but he's 27 points behind second-place Denny Hamlin and 46 points back from Harvick.
That means he'll need to work his way to the front of the pack to seek stage wins and an overall victory to start eating into that deficit. Luckily for Logano, he's had a lot of success at Richmond Raceway. He won the Toyota Owners 400 there in 2014 and 2017 and has earned a top-four finish there in four of his last six starts.
And a massive shocker: Martin Truex Jr., one of the Vegas co-favorites at 7-2, stumbles big time and barely crack the top five. There are far better values in this loaded field. After winning 23 times the last four seasons, Truex only made it to Victory Lane once during the regular season and then began the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs with a 22nd-place finish at Darlington last week.
Truex is now 57 points back of Harvick in the NASCAR standings and he'll have to start back in 14th at the 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400. Even with wins in each of the last two races at Richmond and a win at Martinsville earlier this season, Truex will have his work cut out to navigate past 13 other NASCAR Cup Series championship contenders at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night.
How to make 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400 picks
