Montoya on the cover?

[Rapier Racer]

Whats up with this I thought I read that Tony Stuart was picked to be on the cover of NASCAR 08, what has Montoya done in NASCAR to deserve to be on the case over a list of others I could produce

Tony is on the cover here in north america.

And Juan should be the cover for the rest of the world. Smoke is not exactly a mega star in places like Suzuka, Budapest, Kuala Lumpur or Istambul.

If those in Suzuka, Budapest, Kuala Lampur, or Istanbul have not heard of Tony Stewart, then what knowledge could they possibly have of the sport at all?

Would someone buy a game simply because Montoya is on the cover?

‘Cause most of continental Europe have watched Montoya race in F1 and he’d be a familiar face. Show me the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! :p

It doesnt matter whos on the cover its still gonna be an arcade game :o .

[Rapier Racer]

I was really questioning if I actually want to buy it or not, it's already out of date so until August 2008 I am going to be seeing Jr still in the 8 and Kyle in the 5

Silly season is a huge part of NASCAR too, you think there'd be a way to move drivers around in these games

[Rapier Racer]

I agree, I was disappointed to find in NASCAR 07 that when I bought my own team I couldn't sack all my drivers (bought a crap team and worked it up) and steal the ones I wanted from the other teams, in the end I just bought Hendrick Motorsports and upgraded all the cars to maximum, which resulted in Brian Vickers outperforming JJ and Kyle in most races
