Eutechnyx have confirmed that the release of NASCAR The Game 2011 has been delayed until March 29th. The game was originally due to release in February.
The reasons for the delay were a little predictable. Gregg Baker, community manager for Eutechnyx, released this statement in the forums on the company's official website:
The main reason is we simply wanted more time to polish it and hopefully make it the experience you guys are craving. Its never easy to delay a game as it can cause a lot of disappointment, but we genuinely feel that by doing this you guys will be even happier with the end product.
Believe me were [sic] all just as desperate to have this game in your hands now and get online and race against you guys. But sometimes more time is needed to get that fantastic end product we want to ship.
Yes, it did indeed come with a smiley, which makes it all better now doesn't it? OK, maybe it doesn't.
