Nintendo Sponsors Wii-Themed Car at NASCAR

Nintendo is sponsoring a car this year at NASCAR and it will Greg Biffle's #16 Ford Fusion car.

For the first time ever, Nintendo is sponsoring a car this NASCAR season and Greg Biffle will be the man behind the wheel of the #16 Wii-themed Ford Fusion. Take a break from racing on Wii™ and watch Biffle and the Wii team charge to the head of the race.

Look for the Wii-themed car at Watkins Glen International in New York on Sunday August 12th and then again at the Dover International Speedway in Delaware on Sunday September 23rd! The Watkins Glen race will be broadcast on ESPN at 1 p.m. EST, and the Dover International Speedway race will be broadcast by ABC at 1 p.m. EST.

Biffle has been racing in NASCAR for over a decade and has garnered so many trophies and accolades it's tough to keep track of them all. Biffle has performed exceptionally well in all three NASCAR series. His most recent win was the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
