NASCAR 2007 Available on Mobile

NASCAR fans nationwide can shift their mobile phones into high gear with the launch of EA SPORTS NASCAR 07, available starting this week exclusively on Sprint wireless phones.

Available now for the first time on the mobile platform, NASCAR 07 from Electronic Arts Inc. features NASCAR's most popular drivers, famous racetracks, realistic graphics and challenging strategy.

Players on the go can choose to enter a quick race or compete in The Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup, the climactic final 10 races at the end of the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series season. Gamers can race on the NASCAR circuit's most legendary tracks, including Daytona International Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Pocono Raceway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway.

The key to entering Victory Lane is a player's ability to draft off other cars, block potential challengers and keep their car under control at high speeds. Incorporating authentic NASCAR racing elements, drivers whose cars spin out and hit the wall or one of their competitors will incur car damage and are left to limp to the pits for repairs or drop out of the race.

NASCAR 07 also features realistic audio including engine roar, tire squeal, crowd sounds, and more. Similar to the guidance a real NASCAR driver receives while on the track, NASCAR 07 players have spotters to help them skillfully maneuver through race traffic and avoid potential accidents. Driving skills aren't the only keys to success - players must also manage pit stops and monitor fuel and tire wear levels.

NASCAR 07 launches this week on capable Sprint and Nextel wireless phones and will be available on all other major US mobile carrier networks on March 1st. NASCAR 07 is also available for the Playstation 2 computer entertainment system, Xbox videogame system from Microsoft and PSP system.
