This weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series is set to run the first dirt race since 1970. The Bristol Motor Speedway Dirt Track has been born, in real life. Tonight, they’ll get some digital practice.

Dale Earnhardt Jr and Clint Bowyer are both stepping out of retirement for this event. Additionally, Timmy Hill is in the show after nearly dropping off the full-time NASCAR Cup Series schedule after missing an early invite.

Drivers are allowed two resets in the feature. This repairs all damage on the car in a few seconds but requires a pit stop.

7 drivers advanced from 3 heat races. That’s set a field of 21 cars for the main event.

James Davison and William Byron set the front row for the main event. 70 laps of digital track racing are up next…
