I see the Miller Lite integration. Haven't played the game yet, is Kevin Harvick's Busch Light scheme in the game.

I haven't played for a while but is the patch out since you see the Miller Lite scheme?

[Aggies7]

I'm basing comment off of patch notes. I don't believe the patch is released yet

"Add additional drivers"

Any idea who?

It'll be in there too, Monster Energy as well for Kurt Busch and 5 Hour Energy for Clint Bowyer

the credits show those sponsors as well

Does this game have any extra/retired drivers? Like in Football there are some Free agents that are no longer in the league.
- Guys like Jeff Burton or Jeff Gordon?

No. There are some non-cup drivers that float around in the lineup to fill it out, but they're all current to my knowledge.


As for this patch, it's encouraging they're working on things... but based on what they've released as details, it's not good enough. The fact they haven't mentioned attempted improvements to the framerate, or more player customization options to driving model and difficulty options (traction control, stability, racing line, ABS etc) is disappointing.

I guess we have to wait and see what's included in "other fixes". I'm glad they're working on it post release though, because there is a long ways to go. Something is better than nothing though, so I'm thankful for that.
