Nintendo Wii invades NASCAR

There’s yet another version of the Wiimobile, and instead of hitting the tame neighborhood streets, this one’s going to go big-time on the NASCAR circuit.

In a strange marketing move that can only be pinned on Nintendo‘s oddball way of going about things, Nintendo of America has sponsored a NASCAR racer and had a cool Ford Fusion Car of Tomorrow (COT) all wrapped up in Wii colors, to be driven by pro-racer Greg Biffle.

Biffle will burn rubber using the souped-up Wiimobile at the Watkins Glen Race scheduled on August 12, and in the Dover Race on September 23.

You can also take home your own Wii Ford Fusion. Diecast models of the speedy Wiimobile can be bought from the online store at www.thesundayhauler.com for US$ 64.95.
