Ian Happ isn’t the only Cubs player to be competing in virtual competitions during the shutdown, as Kris Bryant is participating in the Red Bull Homestretch racing circuit. The series pits athletes like Bryant and Rams QB Jared Goff against drivers from organizations like IndyCar, rallycar, and motocross in Gran Turismo Sport. KB participated in three races Thursday, only one of which saw him maintain a position in the top five.
Below is a recap of the results, with a video from Red Bull at the end.
The Cubs star took part in the first race against eight other contestants, including Travis Pastrana and 2016 Indianapolis 500 pole winner James Hinchcliffe.
