TY DILLON LEADS GEICO 70 AND GETS SPUN GOING FOR THE WINWelcome, NC (April 26, 2020) - Last week at virtual Richmond Raceway, Ty Dillon and the GEICO team turned in a top-15 finish. This week, the virtual Germain Racing team journeyed to Talladega Superspeedway for the GEICO 70 eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series race. GEICO's marquis event, Dillon planned to put on a show... and that's exactly what he did. Dillon spent race week participating in a full schedule of interviews and also appeared in several videos. Most notable was a video interview he did with GEICO's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb driver and three-time winner, Layne Schranz, who chatted with Dillon live from the GEICO Restart Zone at Talladega Superspeedway. The interview, now on YouTube, was a deep-dive into both of their careers and the differences between driving at a high-rate of speed up a mountain and racing at over 200-mph on the high-banks of Talladega. Race day featured Dillon on Instagram Live in a virtual pre-race appearance, where he answered questions from race fans and talked about the GEICO 70. When the green flag flew from the virtual flag stand, Dillon and the GEICO Camaro immediately broke into the top-five and set sail for the lead. He quickly took command of the race and led the bulk of the opening 10-laps. As it does in a normal NASCAR Cup Series race, the draft would ebb and flow and Dillon would lead the race on a few different occasions, but he made the top-five his home, departing only for a couple of pit stops. Even then, the crafty veteran quickly returned to the top-five and ultimately had the No. 13 GEICO Camaro back atop the scoring tower as the leader of the race. Dillon continued, "It was fun though. We got to lead a lot of laps in the GEICO 70, which was really cool. My goal was to go put on a good race and put our GEICO Camaro up front as much as possible. I don't know how many laps we led, but we led a bunch of them. That was definitely the most fun I've had on iRacing yet. That track and drafting was very realistic. I was very nervous the whole time, just because you can't tell your whole surroundings like you can in a real car and you don't really want to be the guy who wrecks the whole field. Overall, I think we put on a good show though. It was definitely the most fun and entertaining race yet."
