Some of the biggest crossover drivers and motorsports industry members that compete in the Monday Night Racing presented by Rowdy Energy Pro Series will compete in front of a live audience for the Season 4 Championship Finale at the Carolina Esports Hub on 7th February.
Monday Night Racing Season 4 concludes at the virtual Auto Club Speedway and will utilize iRacing’s NASCAR Xfinity Series “B” Car. Two races will take place before that to decide the final four, at Iowa Speedway tonight (24th January) in the NASCAR Trucks and next week at Nashville Superspeedway in the Super Late Model.
The Charlotte Esports Hub facility, located in Charlotte, North Carolina, is home to the Charlotte Phoenix, the professional esports team that fields an entry on Monday nights for James Bickford. The deal was announced on Monday with support from Rowdy Energy, Tufco Flooring, Podium eSports and the Carolina Esports Hub.
The Championship 4 drivers, which are still to be determined among seven drivers still competing in the playoffs, will race on center stage in the arena. Other Monday Night Racing members will also compete in house at the arena while talent from Podium Esports will be on the call. The race will simulcast on iRacing’s social media channels over on Twitch, YouTube and on iRacing’s own live site.
“We at MNR are proud and excited to announce a first of its kind premiere event where the drivers and the fans can interact for the first time in-person,” said Ford Martin, Founder & Co-Owner of MNR. “Over the last four seasons, MNR has reached new heights, and this event is the next step in our mission of helping grow the sport of simulated auto racing. We can’t thank all of our sponsors enough for helping us pull off this event.”
