Fresh off of winning a heat during the “Kickin The Tires” Lower Half Dash at Daytona, Caps fan Ryan Ellis will be racing his number 78 RMNB sponsored race car at Talladega.
The virtual race, entitled Saturday Night Thunder, will be held at the world-famous Talladega Superspeedway where the high embankment shoots cars out of turns at 200 MPH.
The race will be aired live on eNASCAR.com at 8 PM and can be watched live in the below stream.

“Tonight’s race I’m hyped for,” Ellis said to me. “I think we have a REALLY REALLY good shot.”
Ellis’s optimism is a marked change from the weeks before where he guaranteed on social media he would eCrash and then did.

Update: Ryan finished 18th.
A real Chandler Stephenson-esque performance from @ryanellisracing tonight. He finished 18th at virtual Talladega in the RMNB eCar despite being involved in 3 big wrecks and losing his front bumper. #SaturdayNightThunder pic.twitter.com/RJvR7t7d1x
