Stewart-Haas Gaming edged Leavine Family Racing in a tiebreaker decided by most laps led when both organizations finished Wednesday night’s eNASCAR Heat Pro League title races tied with 4,079 points apiece.
The finale consisted of two 70-lap races — one for the PlayStation 4 league and another for the Xbox One group — with 14 drivers competing in each. All of the drivers gathered at NASCAR Plaza’s Studio 43 in Charlotte Wednesday night for the final night of competition.
Much like Stewart-Haas team co-owner Tony Stewart won his third NASCAR Cup Series title in 2011 in a tiebreaker over Carl Edwards following the season’s final race, it took a few minutes following Wednesday’s races to calculate the points and award Stewart-Haas Gaming the inaugural eNASCAR Heat Pro League championship.
Stewart-Haas’ Josh Shoemaker (SHG Slick 14x) ended up finishing second following a highly-contested final lap in the Xbox race while his counterpart in PlayStation 4, Brandyn Gritton (SHG_HotRod_14p), won his race, leading 58 of 70 laps.
Team Penske Esports finished third overall, six points behind Stewart-Haas Gaming and Leavine Family Racing. JR Motorsports – the final eligible playoff team – was fourth, 12 points behind the leaders.
Four of the eight playoff drivers were in the top five in their respective races. All of them were in the top 10.
