This is not the complete list.

Cool. Cannot wait to see the rest of the list of drivers.

[Segagendude]

They need to update JJ to read "Won five consecutive championships".


Looks pretty good so far.

I guess they needed "filler" drivers, and/or couldn't get some of the other drivers licensed for the game. She races in the Truck series(owns a truck I believe). haven't heard anything about her racing in the Cup series, though I haven't really paid any attention to Nascar news since Homestead.

I'm sure that will be the car Bob uses.

Sweet detail on the cars! Ryan Newman is our guy, and the 39 looks good! Even down to the Stewart-Hass Racing logo on the headlight.
