He was doing commentary while racing. He only had a week to practice while other guys have done it for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't really cost them anything compared to putting on a real race. Nielsen viewership data on eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series from Homestead March 27, 2020 at 11:12 AM According to Nielsen viewership data in the U.S. on the Fox Sports 1 broadcast: An average of 638,000 homes and 903,000 viewers (P2+) tuned in to the race, making it the most watched linear esports broadcast in history. 1.6 million unique viewers P2+ watched the broadcast for at least six minutes. These viewers tuned in for an average of 59.42 minutes, more than half of the 112-minute broadcast. The broadcast also exposed NASCAR to new viewers, bringing in 255,000 viewers who hadn’t yet watched a NASCAR Cup Series race in 2020. Beyond broad television viewership, there was also significant social buzz during the race. According to Nielsen Social Content Ratings data: The March 22 virtual race was the most social TV program of the day on Twitter, generating 217,300 interactions and 912,500 video views. NASCAR drivers had a commanding presence during the televised race, accounting for nearly half (49%) of all owned Twitter engagement (across NASCAR, team, driver and media profiles) around the iRacing Pro Invitational Series broadcast, a much larger share than during live NASCAR Cup Series races. "Esports and virtual sports competitions represent promising new opportunities for traditional sport leagues and teams to engage their core fans while also delivering value to sponsors," said Jessica Forrest, Group Vice President at Nielsen Sports. "During a time when traditional live sports are at a standstill, NASCAR is one of the few sports whose athletes can still actively compete by doing what they do best-race. And the success of last weekend’s iRacing debut on live television demonstrates that sports fans are ready to consume sports in new, innovative ways."
