Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson Team for NASCAR

Electronic Arts announced today that its EA Sports branded NASCAR videogame, NASCAR 06: Total Team Control (PS2 and Xbox), will feature NASCAR Nextel Cup Series teammates Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. The two avid gamers personify the focus of this year’s game — Team Racing.

Jimmie Johnson, driver of the number 48 Lowes, Chevrolet, said, “The addition of the team racing really changes the game in an amazing way. It’s not just about you, the driver. Now, you are challenged to manage a whole team, using your on-track relationships with other drivers and especially your teammates to bring home the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Championship and build a racing dynasty.”
