William Byron, Kyle Busch Advance to eNASCAR Short-Track Championship Race

William Byron went 2-for-2 on Monday night and didn't even have to leave his house.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver won both races on Monday night at a virtual Rockingham Speedway as part of the NBC eSports Short Track iRacing Challenge.

Both races were 35 laps, and the second one came down to the final lap with Byron barely edging out Parker Kligerman:

Kyle Busch served as a pseudo play-by-play man from third place behind Byron and Kligerman:

The full lineup on Monday included Busch, Byron, Kligerman, Austin Dillon, Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace:

But Byron and Busch emerged as the true winners. Both drivers secured a spot in Thursday night's championship race, which will take place on a virtual Martinsville Speedway. NBC Sports NASCAR commentator Steve Letarte granted a Peacock Provisional to Busch, sending him through to the title round.

Earnhardt just barely lost out to Denny Hamlin, who will race on Tuesday, in the inaugural eNASCAR race at virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway on March 22. Byron won the third eNASCAR iRacing Pro invitational Series race at virtual Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday.
