WHEN nothing goes right, go left.<\/p>\n
The high-octane world of NASCAR is getting its own eSports league after teaming up with Race Team Alliance and 704Games to create the eNASCAR Heat Pro League.<\/p>\n
That’s right, now gamers will make a living turning left at high speeds over and over again in the hugely-popular sport.<\/p>\n
The newly-formed league will follow in the footsteps of Formula 1 and create a league that features up to 16 teams and 32 drivers \u2014 each of which will be owned and operated by real NASCAR teams.<\/p>\n
Fans of NASCAR Heat 3 who have dreamed of making a living out of eSports now have their chance. The eNASCAR Heat Pro League Draft will take place early in 2019 and players can qualify online.<\/p>\n
The eNASCAR Heat Pro League will be won over 16-race season beginning in US spring of 2019 and finish with the 2019 NASCAR Playoffs.<\/p>\n
All eNASCAR Heat Pro League races will be live streamed online at NASCAR.com and Motorsport.com.<\/p>\n
Executive Vice President of NASCAR, Craig Neeb, said the time was right for the sport to enter the eSports realm.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe look forward to taking this first step with our teams to introduce NASCAR-style racing to the massive esports audience on consoles,\u201d Neeb said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur partners at 704Games have delivered an incredible product and we are enthusiastic about engaging gamers to create new fans and grow our sport.\u201d<\/p>\n
The list of NASCAR teams that have already jumped at the opportunity to own an eSports team is a long one.<\/p>\n
Chip Ganassi Racing, Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing, JR Motorsports, Richard Childress Racing, Roush Fenway Racing, Stewart-Haas Racing and Team Penske will field all two drivers, one competing on Xbox One and the other on PlayStation 4.<\/p>\n
