I'm down. I call Dale Jr. though.  I call Kyle Busch, yeah, I'll flip the NASCAR official off if I get a speeding on pit-road penalty too.  EDIT: I dunno if this is true or not [won't have the game for another twelve hours or so.  ] but apparently you can only use your career car in online games. ------- Haven't heard that....be kinda lame if that is the case. |

I found where I read it, this is a question to one of the guys who worked on the game;
@davet_etx - Wait so we can't chose people like Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch etc. online? Why???
And his response is...
@reesesfan24 You play with your Career driver, that could be Jeff or Kyle #NTG
-------
Odd.

Certainly not the quality of the NASCAR 09 booth, but it will serve the purpose. I bet we get the Jimmy John's scheme for the #29 when that patch comes.
**EDIT**
Just now realized that the video did not show up. It was showing someone's attempt at Kevin Harvick's Budweiser car.

I'd sign to race online too, but...since I picked Kyle from the start (I didn't know I'd be stuck with 'em on my title screen 'til the end of days/unless I erase the game from my history), I guess I'm left out. |

No Talladega Nights for me. Damn unemployment office is giving me a runaround, and it's 1PM already so I'll be sitting there for awhile. I might take some games in to see if I can get this from GameStop.....because I want it.

Oh man... I need a life. I've been playing since I got home at like 12:30 non-stop [besides 2-3 minute breaks].... if it wasn't for NCIS/NCIS:LA tonight, I would keep going. LOL!
Anyone up for boosting the online achivements sometime?

Oh, and most of the achivements can be done in two-player mode. |

Anyone up for boosting the online achivements sometime? In the same boat, Vince. I been playing since I got home at 2:00PM. In a Season right now, 8 races complete with 3 wins, 1 Top 5, and four 43rd place finishes. I dunno what happened at Vegas. But it apparently did not stay in Vegas because I had the 3 other 43rd place finishes right after that, bam-bam-bam. Bristol and Martinsville are 2 of those 4 so it's not my fault. Other drivers kept spinning me at Bristol, I could not get higher than 30th without being spun. And at least 4 of the times I got spun, I got spun onto pit road, which got me a speeding penalty. Finished 43rd, 2 laps down. Martinsville, I had to pit with like 10 laps to go and NO ONE ELSE had to, which is what screwed me over. 43rd, 1 lap down. Ran out of gas at Atlanta, so that effed me because when you run out of gas, you just stop. Brake and stop. |

Nurrmind, I figured out how to change my car for career. I guess I'll be...um...'dinger.  Hey, it was a toss-up between him or Danica. |

Is it me or does the paint booth, 100% suck? It's so such a let-down, wish they would have allowed us to make them in PaintShop then transfer them in. I would have 5-10 cars by now.
EDIT: If anyone wants to play online sometime, hit me up. My gamertag is TNAFAN124 [Shocker, right? LOL]

It's not the strong point of the game, but that's fine because I certainly didn't buy the game for the Paint Booth. |

Yeah, same here but I was hoping to create Cole Trickle's car from "Days of Thunder" but I'm not even going to attempt it. It seems like you can do some pretty cool stuff though, just need patience which I do not have. Like this... i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm69/gnark1illx/WP_000029.jpg |

Yeah, especially when you can't use the flipping thing online right now. The game is fun, but there are a lot of missing/broken parts in the "machine", so to speak.
