Motorsport legends NASCAR announce an upcoming standalone game developed by experts Hutch

NASCAR often gets a bad reputation outside of America, but there is a certain charm to it with its close side-by-side action and its focus on pure speed, but it never managed to really massively break out internationally. Now, there's a chance that will change thanks to automotive game experts Hutch announcing a partnership with the racing giants.

Hutch has staked a claim as perhaps the top racing developer on mobile, with big hits like the Supercar smash Race Kings, the more cerebral Top Drives, or the officially licensed F1 Clash, perhaps the biggest testament to their talents. This experience with another of the world's top car sports with be no doubt invaluable as they develop this NASCAR title, and at a pretty big milestone. 2023 marks the 7th anniversary of NASCAR racing, which has cemented itself as the USA's number one motorsport, thanks to its more aggressive and speed-driven style when compared to F1, which more focuses on pit stops and the perfect overtake instead of just burying your foot and bullying your way to the front of the pack. It is a wonder that the stock car superstar hasn't become as big a worldwide spectacle.

When commenting on the collaboration, NASCAR's Managing Director of Gaming and Esports, Nick Rend, said: “At NASCAR, our number one priority is engaging our fans and bringing them the best experiences possible whether they’re at the track or in digital spaces where they like to spend time.”

“We want to deliver our fans around the world a unique, immersive mobile gaming experience. Hutch, with its expertise in the automotive genre and track record of creating fun and popular games, is the perfect partner to make this happen.”

Whilst we don’t have too much information on this new collaboration right now, this promises to be an exciting announcement to watch unfold.
