Fans will have a say on which NASCAR driver will grace the cover of the game. 704Games is again partnered with Toyota to determine the race cover with a fan vote that begins today and runs through Friday.
Voting can be done at nascarheat.com and determines the two Toyota drivers who will go head-to-head during the All-Star Race Saturday night. The highest finishing finalist in Stage 2 will be placed on the cover.
Toyota drivers currently qualified for the All-Star Race are Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr. Others will be able to race their way into it via the Monster Energy Open or be voted in through the fan vote.
My 2nd year working on this, we've made some big gains that I hope everyone enjoys 😁 https://t.co/QCjQ1gWYVo
