Byron ''break'' Hill and wins NASCAR virtual race in Richmond 

William Byron won this Sunday (19) the virtual stage of NASCAR, played at the Richmond Circuit. The Hendrick driver, who had triumphed in Bristol two weeks ago, became the first to win two races since the category adopted racing on simulators in the period when the championship is paralyzed by the coronavirus pandemic, after leading 94 of the 154 laps of the event.
The race was marked by the high number of yellow flags, which caused an extension at the end of the 150 regulatory laps. At this time, Timmy Hill still attempted a last attack on Byron, but saw the owner of the Chevrolet number 24 come out with the victory.
The second position was with Timmy Hill, another driver who already has victories in virtual races, and who finished this distant Sunday's race just 0s256 behind Byron. Parker Kligermann, who plays only a few stages in the year, took third place, followed by Landon Cassill. The top five group was completed by Kyle Busch, who competed in the Indy race on Saturday.
Denny Hamlin completed Sunday's race with sixth place in the Richmond Circuit, followed by Erik Jones, seventh best at the end of the race. Dale Earnhardt Jr. he finished eighth, while Bubba Wallace finished ninth. The list of the top ten was completed by Brad Keselowski.
The Nascar virtual championship follows next weekend, when the Talladega stage will be played.
