eNASCAR Heat Pro League heads to NHMS for Round 4
The eNASCAR Heat Pro League heads to New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the fourth round of Season 2.
The regular season is split up into three four-race segments and the 'Magic Mile' serves as closing round of Segment 1.
This comes off an event at a very different one-miler circuit known as the 'Monster Mile.' There Justin Brooks (Xbox One) of the JTG Daugherty Throttlers took his second win of the season after fending off Daniel Buttafuoco.
This week at NHMS will showcase the Cup cars once again with Brooks starting from pole position. His 27.968s lap was just 0.023 good enough to beat out Luis Zaiter for the preferred position on the grid.
Buttafuoco will start third, Nick Walker fourth and Matthew Heale fifth.
