DUSENBERRY MARTIN RACING ANNOUNCES NASCAR HEAT EVOLUTION

New NASCAR-Licensed Video Game Comes to Modern-Generation Platforms; Reveals Toyota Driver Cover Athlete Competition

Dusenberry Martin Racing (DMR), NASCAR’s exclusive console simulation-style video game licensee, today announced the future of NASCAR gaming with NASCAR Heat Evolution – launching September 13, 2016. Marking the debut of the NASCAR video game series on the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One, and also arriving on Windows PC, this new title will provide fans with a brand-new and authentic racing experience.

NASCAR Heat Evolution will immerse fans in the door-to-door excitement of stock car racing and allow users to live the experience of taking the checkered flag. Whether a casual or hardcore gaming fan, NASCAR Heat Evolution will dynamically adapt to any skill level and deliver a true-to-life racing experience. The new game will feature all of the top drivers, teams, and incredibly detailed tracks and environments, giving fans the opportunity to feel what it is like to be a racing legend.

“Our company is a team of highly skilled gaming vertans with a proven record of success in NASCAR game development and publishing. Our commitment to the NASCAR community is to consistently deliver fun, engaging and high-quality NASCAR games to the market,” said DMR Chief Executive Officer Tom Dusenberry.

DMR, whose licensing agreement with NASCAR Team Properties runs through 2020, partnered with Monster Games to create NASCAR Heat Evolution, bringing more than 100 years of combined NASCAR games experience to the project.

DMR President Ed Martin said, “To deliver an all-new NASCAR game experience, we assembled an all-star team of NASCAR game experts and started with a clean sheet of paper. What the DMR and Monster Games teams have come up with is going to amaze NASCAR fans.”

From the same legendary team that created the critically acclaimed NASCAR titles NASCAR Heat and NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona, Monster Games has a clear vision for NASCAR Heat Evolution.

“The Monster Games team is thrilled to partner again with Tom, Ed and the Dusenberry Martin Racing team. We have been working on NASCAR Heat Evolution for 18 months and are excited about what we have created. From day one, our goal has been to deliver a fun, engaging and realistic racing game designed for NASCAR fans,” said Monster Games President Richard Garcia.

“The gaming space allows fans to consume our sport on a daily basis, ultimately helping grow and diversify our audience,” said Blake Davidson, Vice President of Consumer Products and Licensing, NASCAR. “Our fans have eagerly anticipated the arrival of a new NASCAR game, and we expect that NASCAR Heat Evolution will be well worth the wait.”

DMR has also partnered with Toyota, an Official NASCAR Partner, in a unique video game cover athlete competition. The first Toyota driver to cross the finish line in the 2016 NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway will be the cover athlete of NASCAR Heat Evolution. Choosing a cover athlete from an on-track competition is a first in video game history. NASCAR Heat Evolution will mark the first time Toyota or any of their eligible drivers – Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr. – will be the face of a NASCAR video game. Toyota and DMR are developing an innovative in-game branding partnership that will elevate the racing experience for video game fans.

Fans that are ready to strap in and feel the adrenaline of a NASCAR racing experience have the opportunity to pre-order NASCAR Heat Evolution now at NASCARHeat.com, GameStop, Target.com, Walmart.com and the PlayStation®Store. NASCAR Heat Evolution will take racing fans to a level of realism, excitement and authenticity that has never been seen on a console before.

For example, in career mode have the choice to sign a crew chief based on certain ratings/$$$ and have the ability during the race to give feedback, which would allow pit stop adjustments that he chooses.

I really hope this will be an option because I know next to nothing about tuning cars and would increase the realism a bit IMO.
That's actually a cool idea. Just tell your crew chief that your pushing in 3 and 4 and then he makes some adjustments based on his "level". You could be on to something here.

I think it only makes sense. Just watch a race today and see the importance of the crew chief. Most of them get interviewed during the race as well. They get talked about just as much as the driver. I honestly doubt it's being considered, but I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, I'm sure it didn't make it in this year. However there isn't going to be a paint booth either because they said they wanted to get the base game right before all the fluff was put in. Definitely something that should be at least considered for future installments. I love the idea and think many more would too.

Please, put split-screen in the game. Offline multiplayer seasons were so great back in the days.

Will there be a career mode in the first release?

Sounds great! Really looking forward to this game. Hasn't been a good NASCAR game since Dirt to Daytona. IMO

That I am not sure of, as the last build I played was purely single player. Keep in mind though that this is a long term relationship with DMracing and NASCAR, and the group is very community oriented, and understanding of what the community base is looking for. With Monster Games doing the development and creating, it feels like almost anything is possible over the next few years.

Thanks, I'll hope for the online portion. Will be the decider for me.

I wish they would make a career mode that had a full roster similar to that of other sports games. When you start your career you go in and hire a crew chief, jackman, tire carriers, tire changers.... so on and so on. The more money you make, the better crewmen you can get. Once you are making the big bucks, you could hire Todd Gordon, Paul Wolfe, Adam Stevens, Chad Knaus... whoever.

Maybe have lots of the real Crew Chiefs. I would be fine with everyone else being generic guys.

Sorry Ryan - no idea. I have played the game for a total of 3 hours or so, but it was all single player aspects.

Any comment on the visual upgrades from previous gen? I'm assuming it looks great but is it that great?

Do you know if there's any time of day changes during the race?
