NASCAR: 5 drivers who should attempt IndyCar races
By Asher Fair
Timmy Hill
Nobody has had better results in the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series thus far than Timmy Hill, a driver with whom many NASCAR fans weren’t even familiar when the season was brought to an abrupt halt by the coronavirus pandemic.
Hill has been floating around the Cup Series since 2012, having made 96 starts for several of the sport’s least competitive teams during that time.
His career average finish is 35.5, and he has recorded just one top 20 finish throughout his entire career. He has driven for teams such as MBM Motorsports, Rick Ware Racing, NEMCO Motorsports, FAS Lane Racing, Circle Sport, Identity Ventures Racing, Hillman Racing, Team Xtreme Racing, Premium Motorsports and Spire Motorsports.
The eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series, however, has put him in the spotlight. If standings were being kept for this series using NASCAR’s scoring system, he would be the points leader by far, as he has yet to finish outside of the top three.
He placed third at virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway, won at virtual Texas Motor Speedway and placed third again at virtual Bristol Motor Speedway. He is no stranger to the virtual racing world, as he now has 674 career iRacing wins.
Hill, who was once ranked the world’s number one driver on iRacing, has benefited from this virtual opportunity more than anybody else in NASCAR, possibly even in any series. Why shouldn’t he attempt a virtual IndyCar race to see how he fares behind the wheel of a virtual open-wheel car? It goes without saying that he would be tough to beat.
