Roczen, Pastrana, and More To Take Part In Red Bull Homestetch Virtual Race

With most of the sporting world still on hold, virtual gaming has stepped in to fill some of the void.

Today, Red Bull announced a new virtual race dubbed Red Bull Homestetch starting May 14 which will feature “drivers from different disciplines, including rallycross, rally, motocross, IndyCar and more to go against individuals with no real-world race experience — musicians, athletes, notable celebrities, media personalities and more.”

One of the stars competing is Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen, as well as Travis Pastrana (because what doesn’t TP compete in?)

Beyond the racers, Red Bull is also allowing room for a Wildcard Seat for “racing outsiders” weekly. The first Wildcard Seat will feature Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff.

Each week will feature 10 drivers and they will be battling it out on Gran Turismo Sport on PlayStation 4. 

Homestretch will be kicking off for the first time on Thursday, May 14 at noon EDT/9:00am PDT. Don’t forget to tune in to watch live on Twitch.tv/RedBull, Red Bull TV, Red Bull Motorsports YouTube and the ESPN app.
