Cover vote

For the second straight game, Eutechnyx held a "drive for the cover" campaign, allowing fans to vote for the NASCAR driver they would like to see on the cover of NASCAR '14.[1] On December 10, 2013, it was announced that Tony Stewart was chosen as the game's cover driver, succeeding Dale Earnhardt, Jr.[2]

New features

New features for the game will include online leagues, a server browser, DNFs, enhanced AI difficulty, the option to hire staff in career mode, and new car physics.[3][4]

Driver rosters and paint schemes for the 2014 season were updated, with DLC being released on a monthly basis. The game also features all 23 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series tracks.[3]

Reception

The game has received mixed reviews. Jeremy Peeples of Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 3.5/5, saying "There’s a lot of fun to be had in the career mode tinkering with settings and getting things just right for a race, while the core racing action is quite exciting in any mode."[5]
