Seems like Stef Wilson and Wickens will also be in the field this weekend along with Jimmie Johnson, based on Twitter.

They did. Or more specifically, Gary Bettenhausen's sons did.

Also Harvey and Dixon aren't in it cause all the stuff they ordered hasn't shown up yet, ha. So they should be in the next one.

That was fun. I hope they do full course cautions at some point, just for mixing it up. Also: Sage Karam is your (virtual) points leader, lol.

he had a quick chat with Marshall Pruett recently, sounds like he's taking sim racing more seriously after getting into a Porsche competition last year.

The Sim team he races with pretty much wins every endurance event that iRacing puts on, not necessarily with him, but VRS Coanda Simsport is pretty much always on the headlines in iRacing's news page for winning something.

While this event was more entertaining to watch than a few others, it's still nowhere near scratching the same itch as an actual race, and all these MOTORSPORT BETTER TAKE NOTICE, ESPORTS IS HERE TO STAY articles floating around racing websites are dumb as gently caress. Here's hoping for Detroit running as planned, I guess.

What was the deal with the Toyota oval CART engine again? Like one side of the engine (right side bank? I’m probably wrong) fed the Turbo right? So the exhaust from both cylinder banks was routed to one side?
