Players can choose to play as themselves or as one of the sport's real-world drivers as they battle it out for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship. Each pro driver has the AI characteristics of his or her real world counterpart, setting the stage for intense rivalries played out on the track. Damage is meticulously detailed and multi-car wrecks are the most extreme ever experienced in an officially licensed racing game.

Winning has also never felt so good with the all new interactive celebration mode. Not only can you partake on your victory lap doing donuts and burnouts, but for the first time ever, jump out of your car and pump up the crowd, and even back flip off your car in the winner's circle. From the 22 real world tracks to full pit stop strategy action, NASCAR The Game 2011 captures the real atmosphere, sense of speed and spectacle that embodies NASCAR. The game also includes an in-depth multiplayer mode which allows for 16 players to battle it out for the win online.
