You might recall that we had NASCAR ’14 on our Most Anticipated list, and now we’ve got some new details, some screens, and a swanky new trailer! Veteran developers Eutechnyx is ready to bring the game to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on February 18th. Let’s find out how Tony Stewart made the cover of this year’s edition and dig into some of the features for this season:
Recently NASCAR revealed that more than 700,000 votes were cast worldwide in the “Drive for the Cover” contest as fans voted Tony Stewart, the three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion to appear onto the cover of NASCAR ’14. The injury that kept Stewart off the track didn’t stop fans of the driver of the No. 14 Bass Pro Shops / Mobil 1 Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing from beating another fan favorite, four-time champion Jeff Gordon. Stewart plans to return to the track for the Daytona 500 race in February, the same month NASCAR ’14 hits store shelves.
