On April 23, 2022, at 7pm, the “Ron Morris Motorsports Inaugural Garza Law Firm 600” will run at Bristol Motor Speedway for an exciting night of NASCAR Truck and Cup iRacing. This doubleheader of wheel-to-wheel, bumper-tobumper racing action will be broadcasted live by ‘Full Send Broadcasting’. The first race of the night is the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, which will race 200 laps for a $500 to win cash payout and will immediately be followed by the NASCAR Next Gen Cup Series, racing 400 laps for the $1,000 cash-to-win purse. “This is a great opportunity for the iRacing Community to attract different types of sponsors in this ever-expanding venue” says Bill Muhlfeld, driver of the Garza Law Firm stable of race cars. According to Bill, “This is a whole new business venture for up-and-coming entrepreneurs, whether it be Drivers, Spotters, Car Builders, Painters, Designers, Promotors, Broadcasters, and everything in-between”. iRacing is starting to show up on the radar around the world and being supported by actual professional drivers and their teams.
I invite you to join us for this intense night of racing and get ready to watch hardcore action around this high banked half-mile mile track. The history behind iRacing is an interesting and compelling story as written by Andy Mahood from Gamesradar.com. Mahood writes the following: “John Henry is the principal owner of the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group – the co-owner of a leading NASCAR team, Roush Fenway Racing – as well as an avid simracer. The iRacing team combines more than 100 years of real-world racing experience with more than 50 years of successful racing simulation development. The company has developed numerous corporate relationships in the motorsport industry, including agreements to develop models of tracks with International Speedway Corporation, Speedway Motorsports, Inc., and Panoz Motor Sports Group, vehicles with GM, Ford, Volkswagen, Riley Technologies, Radical Sportscars and U.S. Legends Cars International. iRacing is the official simulation partner of the Sports Car Club of America, Volkswagen Jetta TDI Cup, Star Mazda Championship, Skip Barber Racing School, and Australia’s V8 Super School. In April 2009 iRacing and NASCAR announced a partnership to develop NASCAR-sanctioned online racing series. A similar program with the Indy Racing League, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Dallara was announced in August, 2009. The iRacing logo is a fixture at racetracks around the world. From the NASCAR Cup, IMSA SportsCar Series, and Australian V8 Supercar Series to short tracks and autocrosses, SCCA Pro and Club races — wherever there’s racing you’ll find iRacing. Similarly, the iRacing.com team’s collective resume includes professional driving experience from Formula One to SCCA, IMSA and pavement modifieds, together with amateur racing and auto crossing. Not to mention a Daytona 500-winning team owner, NASCAR, Indy- and sports-car race team managers and engineers as well as awardwinning motorsport writers”. The sponsorship of this race by the Garza Law Firm shows that there is a true spirit of entrepreneurship in these online racing events of entertainment and thrills.
