New version of one of the flagship Electronic Arts series. As before, it deals with dynamic NASCAR races, but this time, its character has changed a little. As the title suggests, this edition of the cycle is devoted to team competition and not, as it has been the case so far, to the achievements of one driver.
Take command of the biggest teams in NASCAR® by building a multi-car dynasty with NASCAR 06. In the first-ever Squad Based Racing experience, you are not alone. Radio to teammates for assistance, while managing on-track partnerships, or take the wheel of a teammate's car in the middle of a race to fend off rivals. With all-new game controls, including real-time voice command, communicate with your crew chief, spotters, and on-track allies to help punch your team through the pack. As an owner, build your own racing empire or even buy top NASCAR Teams like Hendrick Motorsports. Earn the title of Teammate, Champion, and Hero in NASCAR 06.
