Graham A. Bowlin takes checkers at Richmond Raceway

Everything went right for Graham A. Bowlin on Tuesday night in the third race of the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Series season at Richmond Raceway.

Bowlin didn’t take the lead until 30 laps to go, but he never relinquished it after that point, holding off his Deadzone Racing teammate Kollin Keister in an overtime finish.

“My crew chief, Dustin (Lengert), he told me to roll his (Cody Byus) right rear up to his door and just lift until he went, and then I slammed the gas right when he went, luckily,” Bowlin told Podium eSport post race. “I just held his outside and luckily got around him.”

Cody Byus dominated the majority of the event after starting on the pole position.

Byus led all but two laps in the first 170, and looked to be heading toward a complete domination, but Bowlin had other plans.

The caution-marred event saw ten cautions for 50 laps, including a massive incident on the final lap.

Bowlin now leads the standings after three races, with John Gorlinsky falling to second.

2019 eNASCAR Peak Antifreeze iRacing Series drivers that currently sit below the cut line with four races remaining include Michael Guariglia (22nd), Brian Schoenburg (23rd), Cody Byus (24th), Casey Tucker (25th), Caine Cook (28th), Timmy Hill (30th), Benjamin W. Nelson (34th), Adam Benefiel (37th), and Ryan Lowe (40th).
