BY JENNA FRYER, AP — The popularity of virtual motorsports racing on television has come with surprising success stories.

Timmy Hill has won a virtual race and since put together a partnership with Pit Boss Grills.

Landon Cassill, who doesn’t currently have a Cup Series ride, landed a paying sponsor for the iRacing league.
