NASCAR The Game: 2011 Wii Game

NASCAR The Game: 2011, also known as NASCAR 2011: The Game, is the first edition of the NASCAR The Game racing simulator series. Developed by Eutechnyx and published by Activision, it was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 29, 2011, then for Wii on May 24. It is the first NASCAR game since the contract between EA Sports and NASCAR expired (not including Gran Turismo 5). The game also features online races for 16-players. A damage model is included with cars catapulting into the air and barrel-rolling over others. All of the 23 Sprint Cup Series race tracks are featured in the game. Eutechnyx later announced 43 drivers were added to the game, as well as some other drivers who compete in the Nationwide Series and the Camping World Truck Series.

Similar with the 2010 season, the game features all 22 tracks that the Sprint Cup Series compete on, with the addition of Kentucky Speedway, which is scheduled to hold a race in 2011. The game includes 43 competitors, however only 40 have competed in the Sprint Cup Series. Most notably, Regan Smith, Tony Raines, and Joe Nemechek are absent from the game. Jennifer Jo Cobb, Danica Patrick, and Ryan Truex have yet to compete in the Cup series. Other drivers such as Aric Almirola, Todd Bodine, and Michael Waltrip only attempted a few races during the previous season. One object of contention is that some drivers pilot cars representative of schemes driven in other series or use real companies that don't sponsor their given team.
