“Video game entertainment, specifically esports gaming, has gained mass popularity over the years,” stated John Duff, Head of Content, MAVTV. “Season 1 of the eNASCAR Heat Pro League was a huge success and we believe Season 2 will be just as popular, especially with the release of the new NASCAR Heat 5 video game coming later this year. Because of this, we’ve partnered with Motorsport Games to bring NASCAR fans of all ages the type of esports racing content they’ll be excited to watch.”

“State of the art graphics, combined with real-world competition during Season 1 of the eNASCAR Heat Pro League saw some of the best gamers go head-to-head, and brought throngs of viewers to our gaming broadcasts,” said Dmitry Kozko, CEO, Motorsport Games. “As NASCAR continues to lead the way to bring live sporting events back, and the release of the new NASCAR Heat 5 game coming soon, we anticipate the popularity of esports to continue growing. As the esports partner of choice for rights holders, it was a very natural fit for Motorsport Games to partner with MAVTV to bring all of this NASCAR excitement to dedicated motorsports enthusiasts throughout the United States.”

The eNASCAR Heat Pro League is the first-ever NASCAR esports league for video gaming consoles. The eNHPL season consists of three segments, with four races in each segment. Winners of each segment earn a spot in the Championship finale while, the final two championship contenders will be determined by a Wildcard race before the grand finale.
