Select eNASCAR Arcade stops in 2022 will also include driver appearances, live radio and TV opportunities featuring NASCAR talent, prizes and giveaways.
“Last year’s eNASCAR Arcade events were wildly popular, adding a new, exciting fan experience to what are already action-packed race weekends,” said Jud Hannigan, CEO of Allied Esports. “The Allied Esports Truck continues to be a fan-favorite when it rolls into town, and we’re thrilled to partner with NASCAR to provide even more race fans around the country the opportunity to take center stage and show off their driving skills.”

Since then, it has seen activation at other traditional sports and esports events including Super Bowl LIII, CES, DreamHack, WonderCon, KAABOO, E3, VidCon, Posty Fest and the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.
