NASCAR 25 is just two weeks away. And none other than Dale Earnhardt Jr. is stoking the excitement, sharing his behind-the-scenes contributions while giving the fandom a realistic glimpse of what to expect from the franchise\u2019s latest offering.<\/p>\n<p>What Did Dale Earnhardt Jr. Say About NASCAR 25 As Launch Date Inches Closer?<\/p>\n<p>Ever since iRacing announced that NASCAR 25, the first in its new line of console games, will release on October 14, excitement has been through the roof. And amid all this, Earnhardt Jr. shared his thoughts about the much-anticipated launch.<\/p>\n<p>The latest installment promises a more authentic career mode, starting players in NASCAR\u2019s grassroots ARCA Series before climbing the ranks to the pinnacle, the Cup Series. Speaking about the new installment on his \u201cDale Jr. Download podcast,\u201d Earnhardt shared how he contributed to the game\u2019s development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited, I can\u2019t wait for people to get it,\u201d the two-time Daytona winner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ms2jVcJQIZY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\">began<\/a>. \u201cI want to hear what they have to say about the career mode. Me and TJ (Majors) worked really hard for that. We did a lot of filming in here, I think we did 40-50 sort of scenarios, just different things that could happen to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>In addition to an expanded driver roster, NASCAR 25 is set to showcase several well-known figures from the racing world. Reporters and personalities like Jeff Gluck of The Athletic, Kelly Crandall, and the ever-popular nascarcasm will be integrated into the game, likely within its career mode. However, they may also appear in season play.<\/p>\n<p>The game also continues the trend of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/nascar\/nascar-25-gameplay-iracing-console-game-release\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">incorporating features familiar to sports gaming fans<\/a>, such as an in-game social media feed, a staple in past NASCAR titles, and a hallmark of modern sports simulations.<\/p>\n<p>Building on his thoughts, the JR Motorsports owner opened up about his expectations and how he plans to approach the game post-release: \u201cMy process is to like, they get the product and then I start writing down everything they wish were different or don\u2019t like, right? It ain\u2019t going to be a home run for everybody, there will be some things that they wish were there, that aren\u2019t there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea is that this is a franchise, its going to go year after year after year and so, what are the things that come in the next download, the DLCs,\u201d the veteran continued. \u201cSo, I\u2019m looking forward to the release, can\u2019t wait for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fans can already reserve their copies of NASCAR 25, which is now available for pre-order on Xbox Series X\/S and PlayStation 5 ahead of its October 14 launch. Don\u2019t fret, PC players won\u2019t be left behind, with the Steam release dated for November 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Racing fans and gaming enthusiasts, the countdown is on.
