I am getting ready to buy another pin for the college and I am deciding
between LOTR or pre-ordering NASCAR? Any clue as to when it might hit
the streets? While one probably won't hit South Florida for a while, I
would like to take a look before I order.

No, just keeps babbeling on things and when one out of twenty hits he
deletes the rest.

The back glass is not yet printed. I have heard from a good source
that there will be limited edition NASCAR pins.

It will be the best selling Stern pinball game. I know of a lot of
NASCAR fans that will get one just because it is a NASCAR theme, even
tho they are not pinball fans. I myself will get one for both reasons,
pinball fan and NASCAR fan.

You do know what NASCAR stands for, right?

Non-Atheletic Sport Centered Around Rednecks

Sorry, couldn't resist.

They say the game will be a smash! Hopefully it will sell as well as
Sopranos.

Not that many female pinballers and when has there ever been a succesful
football themed pin?

You get in a 130F box for three or four hours where your life and the lives
of others depends on you being completely focused for the entire time on an
endeavor that requires incredible hand-eye coordination (and feet thrown in
there) and then come back and tell me it isn't a "sport."

Of course, with NASCAR you pretty much got the redneck part right. Not
that there is anything wrong with that. I are one, too. ;-)

> Sorry, couldn't resist.

Me neither. :)

Of course, I actually race cars, even though I only do it in
low horsepower cars on road courses. Same skills still apply, and I've
done half of a 13 hour endurance race in 85 minute stints (in/out, in/out,
etc).

On this point I'd disagree. There are lots of NASCAR fans here in the
Pacific NW. Washington and Oregon are lobbying for a new track since
both states want it (for monetary reasons). I know lots of well
educated high-tech folks here who are into NASCAR. There's a market
here, although I'm not part of it.

Alright, I told everyone to NOT give money to the rednecks. Who didn't
listen? :)

Does anyone know what aspect of NASCAR the game will focus on? Will it
be only the Nextel Cup Series or include other NASCAR sanctioned racing
series like the Busch Series or Craftman truck series?

This is exactly why tracks like Rockingham no longer have NASCAR races.
It is a great track as far as the quality of racing and was actually a very
good facility for fans (it's been well kept up to date). Problem is that
tracks near metropolitan areas can charge a *lot* more for each seat
because people in those areas can afford it. The only remote tracks that
will remain will be those that are near something else worth traveling to,
like Las Vegas, Florida, etc.

What it has are people willing to spend-- and overspend-- on things with
the Nascar logo, or some of the individual drivers' logos. Some of them
have disposable income, some don't... but find the money to burn
somehow. It's like the Harley crowd. It doesn't make any difference
what the pin plays like, it's going to sell to some of them just for the
logo.

That was my point. The "new" Nascar fan is upper-middle class with
lots of disposable income. That's what advertisers want. In theory,
this group might buy a new pinball machine just like Elvis/Harley/LOTR
fans did. How many they buy is anyone's guess.

Think Harley Davidson, only on a bigger scale. Harley still sells nicely
to homes due to the theme tie in...and I don't think most Harley owners are
pinheads. But they like things with that name on it enough to buy it.
NASCAR fans are even more loyal in that respect...their merchandise sales
lead all sports, I'm fairly certain.
