Merging the speed of the racetrack with the speed of the silver ball, Stern
Pinball, Pat Lawlor, and his team at Pat Lawlor Design, brings out another hit.
NASCAR Pinball features the high energy of NASCAR racing along with the fascination
of high-tech gaming.
Stern also offers GRAND PRIX, a pinball machine made exclusively for the international
market. Not available in the United States and Canada, GRAND PRIX offers all
the excitement of international Grand Prix racing in a fast pinball machine.
The new NASCAR Pinball game features cars from three race teams—the No.
2 Miller Lite Dodge driven by Rusty Wallace® of Penske Racing South; the
No. 29 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet driven by Kevin Harvick of Richard Childress
Racing; and the No. 21 Motorcraft Ford driven by Ricky Rudd of Wood Brothers
Racing.
"NASCAR Pinball is the kind of game and license combination that comes
around only so often," said Lawlor. "We believe we have created an
exciting game for both the casual players and the more experienced players.
NASCAR Pinball is a fast-paced, action-packed game that should do extremely
well at all of its locations."
A primary component of NASCAR Pinball is the racetrack that encompasses the
entire playing surface. Energized by magnets, the loop sends pinballs racing
around like cars racing around a track. NASCAR Pinball also features a truck
hauler that the player can launch a ball through along with a test toy car that
the player can bang with the pinball.
"NASCAR Pinball is a terrific simulation of the experience one gets while
at the racetrack," said Blake Davidson, NASCAR's managing director of licensed
products. "The speed and acceleration demonstrated by the race cars are
displayed through the game itself."
The Miller Lite logo is featured on Rusty Wallace's® 2 car. If any operator
or homeowner is sensitive to this logo, Stern Pinball offers a replacement backglass
for exchange that does not contain the Miller Lite logo. To obtain this backglass,
please call the Stern distributor through which the game was purchased.
Other features of the game include a voice over from Allen Bestwick, NASCAR
television analyst for NBC, and recording artist Sammy Hagar's "I Can't
Drive 55," a popular tune among NASCAR fans.
The NASCAR pinball machine is available with Spanish speech, dot matrix, and
instruction cards in the United States for locations with Hispanic clientele.
NASCAR is also available with French speech, dot matrix, and instruction cards
for French-speaking locations in Canada. Both languages are available for download
through the Stern Pinball website.
The NASCAR Pinball was brought to life by Pat Lawlor Design industry veterans
Louis Koziarz and John Krutsch. Well-known pinball artist John Youssi did the
art package for the game, while expert sound engineer Chris Granner produced
the sound work.
