Alex Bowman held off a furious challenge to win Sunday’s Pro Invitational Series iRacing event at a virtual Talladega Superspeedway.
It is the third consecutive series race a Hendrick Motorsports driver has won. William Byron had won the past two events at a virtual Bristol and a virtual Richmond.
Ty Dillon led on the last lap when contact with Corey LaJoie turned him. Dillon finished 23rd.

LaJoie, making his Pro Invitational Series debut, finished second. Ryan Preece was third and was followed by Garrett Smithley and Landon Cassill.
The race was clean until a crash on Lap 16. Ricky Stenhouse led and was being pushed by Ty Dillon when contact turned Stenhouse and collected several cars, including Jeff Gordon. Gordon got a reset but suffered damage in a later incident and finished 38th in his Pro Invitational Series debut.
The top 10 was to have been inverted after qualifying but a glitch prevented it and fast qualifier LaJoie started on the pole.
