There's yet another version of the [Only registered users can see links. ], and instead of hitting the tame neighborhood streets, this one's going to go big-time on the [Only registered users can see links. ] circuit.

In a strange marketing move that can only be pinned on Nintendo's oddball way of going about things, [Only registered users can see links. ] has sponsored a NASCAR racer and had a cool Ford Fusion Car of Tomorrow (COT) all wrapped up in Wii colors, to be driven by pro-racer Greg Biffle.

Biffle will burn rubber using the souped-up Wiimobile at the Watkins Glen Race scheduled on August 12, and in the Dover Race on September 23.

You can also take home your own Wii Ford Fusion. Diecast models of the speedy Wiimobile can be bought from the online store at [Only registered users can see links. ] for US 64.95.

Okay I only find this of interest as I am going to be at Watkins Glens the weekend before this event. I am mad now, how can they do this to me? It's all good, I love the Finger Lakes area, the wineries, the inns. I am taking my honey for a long weekend.

Why couldn't I book this the weekend after? Meh

I sure hope they have this race televised! We are not hard-core NASCAR fans, but we usually watch the races on Sundays (and Saturdays if not on Sunday). My favorite racers happen to be Kasey Kahne (who is from a town about an hour or so away from where I live ), Dale Jr., and Tony Stewart. I look forward to hopefully seeing this new car design and maybe even watching Biffle win for the Wii......lol.
