Nascar Biffle Rides on Wii

Nintendo has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Roush Fenway Racing and NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Greg Biffle. The Nascar star will be racing the Wii themed Ford Fusion at the Watkins Glen in August and again at Dover’s Monster Mile in September.

“Partnering with Roush Fenway Racing further demonstrates how Wii is
bringing gaming to the masses,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s
senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Like going
to a NASCAR race, playing Wii is a family event. Everyone can enjoy Wii
regardless of his or her gaming knowledge and experience.”

Biffle, a Wii fan himself is anxious to get on the track with the new Wii Ford Fusion.

“I’m excited about this partnership with Nintendo and the Wii system,”
said Biffle. “I just got one myself and I love the boxing game. I’ve always
been a fan of boxing and with Wii, it’s a workout. I really get into it.
I’ll be driving the Wii car at Watkins Glen and Dover. I’ve got a pretty good
record at Dover and I’d love to get the Wii car up front in both races.”
