Timmy Hill won NASCAR's second iRacing weekend. Here's what we learned.

The names that dominated the leaderboard during Sunday's second eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series race were ones casual fans probably wouldn't recognize. Rather than names like Kyle Busch, Ryan Blaney and Jimmie Johnson (all of whom were entered), it was Timmy Hill, John Hunter Nemecheck, and Garrett Smithley who settled into the top 10 at the virtual Texas Motor Speedway.

MBM Motorsports driver Hill took first place, moving into the lead position past William Byron with less than five laps to go. He was closely followed by Ryan Preece and Smithley, who finished in first and second place, respectively.

"It was such a fun race there," Hill said before driving his virtual victory donuts. "I had to do a little boot scootin' boogie here in Texas on Willy B, but I'm glad I pulled the victory off for RoofClaim, MBM, everybody back home."

Hill, who is not even ranked in Cup Series point standings, raced from his at-home setup behind a wheel he said he bought for 300 dollars 12 years ago, but being at home just meant he was closer to the kitchen to celebrate with a glass of milk after the race. The drink is his favorite, he told reporters.
