Surely you mean www.speedtv.com? That's a high speed Internet provider Web site.

Here's the story itself.

Honestly I don't care one way or the other. I think it would be cool to see a huge PS3 logo across the hood rather than a Budweiser logo. I don't drink Budweiser, if I can help it, nor do I watch NASCAR, so it would be no big loss to me.

Funny thought: imagine a NASCAR car with a GT5 (or GT:HD) logo on the rear fenders.

Talk about selling out...

Does this mean we'll see NASCAR race cars in GT5?

Dunt, dunt, daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

If nascar was still interesting, I might care, but that's not the case

If nascar was ever interesting, I might care, but that's not the case

Fixed.

 

[Barracuda]

Fixed.

Not really. It's all about preference.

I used to love Nascar and watched it every sunday but after a while, things changed and i just wasn't interested. It becomes really suspenseful if your favorite driver is in second place and there's 5-10 laps left

If I'm not mistaken, the Taurus SHO could be turned into Mark Martin's No.6 car in GT2...

...Either way, I've been demanding stock cars for a while, so that would be nice...

On the deal itself: I can't see Budweiser giving up that easily on Dale Jr. He has made them far too much money, and the whole relationship has always been so close that, at least in my mind, when I think of Jr. I think of Budweiser, and with Budweiser I get Dale Jr.

...We'll see. Maybe it will be something like his Wrangler Jeans deal...

The deal is with Jr. not HMS so I don't know if it will even be on his car next year. I bet that SONY would like to see a bunch of GT4 banners at race tracks ever week.

As YSSMAN said, we saw it in GT2.

 

[Barracuda]

That would be pretty cool, just not the new ones

Stock cars aren't just for "lets go in a circle ". When they race at sears point (infineon) the races can be quite interesting, at least they were when i used to watch nascar (Before Dale died)

Yeah, I know. But they, or rather it, didn't make a return in a GT game since then.
