The Degree V12 Challenge
To help debut Degree V12, NASCAR icon Dale Earnhardt Jr. will unveil the Degree V12 Challenge on www.DegreeRacing.com, an online racing game that brings the challenge of racing to the computer screens of guys everywhere. JR Motorsports drivers Dale Jr. and Brad Keselowski offer their racing expertise in the form of voiceovers during the Degree V12 Challenge, aimed to guide gamers through the rigors of online racing. The game is an extension of Degree’s NASCAR partnership, which includes title sponsorship of the Degree V12 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series™ race at Atlanta Motor Speedway over Labor Day weekend.

“Whether it’s entering the final turn at Atlanta, or playing video games online with my buddies, I’m always up for a challenge,” said Dale Jr. “Racing is real competitive, but it can be a tough workout too. It’s great to know Degree V12 is there to keep me dry when my adrenaline gets going.”

Starting June 1, NASCAR fans can climb behind the wheel of their own stock car, just like Dale Jr., in the Degree V12 Challenge. The online racing game takes the NASCAR experience to streets, challenging players to drive the Degree V12 race car in four unique road races from city to city and deliver to Dale Jr. on time and in one piece. Players compete against each other at www.DegreeRacing.com, to win prizes including a VIP trip to the Degree V12 300 NASCAR Nationwide Series™ race in Atlanta over Labor Day weekend.
