At the threshold of a new season and a new era of machinery, NASCAR has reached across the cultural divide toward the gaming world, partnering with FaZe Clan to release a limited-edition apparel collection in Los Angeles.

In pairing the debut of its Next Gen car with the language of esports and streetwear, NASCAR is quietly asking a generation of gamers whether they might also become racing fans.
