But what about taking part in some virtual racing for a good cause?

An event of such calibre is exactly what Earnhardt Jr needed to kill some time in the off season. The iRacing executive director participated in the Mooncar 24, which is a 24 hour race held on the platform around Martinsville Speedway. But the main goal of the event ran deeper than just winning.
