subject: Nascar Fever Hits The Pinball World [print this page] What do you get when you mix the fun and excitement of pinball with the fast action of the popular sport of motor racing? You get the NASCAR pinball machine from Stern Pinball, of course. Imagine enjoying two of your favorite things, pinball and racing, in one awesome arcade game!
Racing and pinball fans alike will love playing the NASCAR pinball machine, featuring cars from three popular racing teams: the No. 2 Miller Light Dodge, driven by Rusty Wallace of Penske Racing South; the No. 29 GM Goodwrench Chevrolet, which is driven by Kevin Harvick of Richard Childress Racing; and the No. 21 Motorcraft Ford, driven by Ricky Rudd of Wood Brothers Racing. Because the Rusty Wallace car features the Miller Light logo, there is an alternate backglass for those who are sensitive to such things.
What is NASCAR?
NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) Racing is one of the most popular spectator sports in the United States. NASCAR was founded in 1948 by a man named Bill France Sr., and in the beginning, there were three divisions of NASCAR: Modifieds, Roadsters and Strictly Stock. NASCAR, a sanctioned body, looks after a number of racing events throughout the US, the best-known being: The Sprint Cup Series; The Nationwide Series; and The Craftsman Truck Series.
The series most often referred to by NASCAR fans is the Sprint Cup Series, which offers 36 races of 22 different tracks, with two of those tracks being road courses. The most famous and most popular of the NASCAR Sprint Cup races is the Daytona 500. Other popular events include the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Memorial Day Weekend Coca-Cola 600 at Lowes Motor Speedway.
Race With The Pros
When you play the NASCAR pinball game, you will notice that the playing surface is a entirely surrounded by a racetrack, making the playing field smaller than most pinball games, but just as fun and exciting, perhaps even more so. All of your shots will be fast, just like your favorite race cars, with the ball always hitting the "sweet spots" of the two flippers.
Some features of the NASCAR arcade game include a Test Car/Garage, and a spinning target located in a semi truck hauler. One of the really fun features of the NASCAR pinball machine is the Mode Bonus. When the player knocks down all of the drop targets, he or she collects the Mode Bonus. This means that the player will receive a second score that is equal to the one that they earned during that mode, and there is even a chance of getting a "spellout letter", which will take the player into the wizard mode.
The NASCAR pinball machine is a terrific addition to any home entertainment room, and is a popular feature in arcades everywhere. If you enjoy fast-paced racing action and the excitement of one of the most popular games in the world, pinball, you and your entire family will love playing NASCAR pinball. This fabulous Stern creation gives players the best of both worlds in one fun and exciting pinball game.
