The eSports version of auto racing created to fill the void during the coronavirus epidemic has turned real with news that NASCAR driver<\/a> Bubba Wallace has lost a sponsorship over his weekend antics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wallace\nwas fired by a sponsor after abruptly quitting in a tantrum as racing fans\nwatched the third in a series of online-gaming races Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happened in the NASCAR iRacing race?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

.@BlueEmu1<\/a> will sponsor @BubbaWallace<\/a> in tomorrow's Pro Series Invitational, giving it two cars now in addition to @LandonCassill<\/a>.

\u2796 Blue Emu is also looking at sponsoring additional races with both drivers once real-life racing returns.
