The sign above the digital garage of the NASCAR world has read "vacant" now for almost two years. In 2008 EA released the final installment of its NASCAR series, titled NASCAR 09. While it received mixed reviews, many felt like the game was progressing in the right direction. In 2009 rumors surfaced that EA was not going to re-sign with NASCAR, and would therefore no longer be providing a yearly title any longer. That rumor was substantiated in early September 2009 when Peter Moore, the president of EA Sports, confessed that there would be no more installments of the NASCAR series. This was devastating news to console racers because they had no other alternative to turn to that would replicate the sport that they so dearly loved.

In early 2010 more rumors surfaced that a company out of New Castle, England was in talks to secure the NASCAR license. Then, in September, it was confirmed that Eutechnyx had in fact secured that license. The company has actually been developing a new NASCAR title for almost 18 months and will have a full two-year development cycle before the retail version hits store shelves. Eutechnyx is developing the title, NASCAR 2011: The Game, and the company has partnered with Activision to release the title on February 15, 2011.

I had a chance to sit down with Eutechnyx executive vice president, Ed Martin. Mr. Martin was kind enough to answer some questions about the upcoming title.

I love the potential that this game has. I like the idea of starting small and building. In the next few years .. please add nationwide, and then trucks. Keep the racing fun, and remember its the little things that us gamers enjoy. Good luck!

This game sounds awesome. Really impressed with the attention to detail & the presentaion. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of pre race & post race on track presentation with F1 2010.

I think people will be really impressed with what Eutechnyx has done with this game. I have a chance to head to the Race in Phoenix on November 14th. They will be showing the game live for the first time, and I wil see first hand how it has all come together(hopefully with some nice pics, and reports for OS)

Kinda disappointed that there wont be a Nationwide series. I wonder if drivers will retire and new guys come in to take their place.
