EA Announces Nascar 09 Soundtrack

NASCAR 2009

Written Wednesday, May 21, 2008 By Dan Webb

EA have just announced the soundtrack for their upcoming Nascar title. EA boast an "electrifying mix of rock, country, metal, and punk music that will make up the explosive soundtrack of NASCAR 09".

"Hit music from artists such as P.O.D., AFI, and The Black Keys, just to name a few, will set the heart-pounding mood as gamers prepare to hit the pedal and race their way to victory." I can't see it myself but hey, each to their own. The tracks are as follows:

AFI - Ether
Airbourne - Runnin’ Wild
Airbourne - Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast
Christian Kane - The House Rules
The Parks - Born Into It
From First To Last - Two As One
Jet Black Stare - It’s Over
Jet Black Stare - Ready To Roll
Keith Anderson - C’MON!
The Parlor Mob - Hard Times
P.O.D. - Condescending
Rev Theory - Light It Up
The Black Keys - Strange Times
Theory Of A Deadman - Got It Made
Third Day - This Is Who I Am

In addition, there will be an exclusive red carpet event at Dale Earnhardt, Jr.’s hot new nightclub, Whisky River, in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. Top NASCAR drivers, including NASCAR 09 cover athlete Jeff Gordon, will be attending the event and checking out the game, while also being treated to a rocking performance by NASCAR 09 soundtrack artist, P.O.D.

Nascar 09 will be available June 10th.

	If you don't like NASCAR, don't post then. Some people actually do like NASCAR. Back on topic, pretty good soundtrack for the game, I enjoyed last years music and game. I can't wait for this game to come out, a definite buy for me.

	I know I probably sound like a complete moron, but I'm too lazy to google it....Does NASCAR stand for something?..Or is it just a name?

	EA picks the worst fucking music for their games. They just take every top 40 band and throw it on their games. Remember a couple years ago when their soundtracks were all rap? Case and point.

	Really #9? Because last time I checked they're most popular up North than they are in the South. Don't be bitter since they're the second most popular sport in America.

	I'm not into US sports being British, but I took a look here. A few decent songs. I think I got a bit excited when Runnin' Wild was shown as I love that song. Oh and I love Light it Up too. Great soundtrack. Not gunna comment on the game as I don't know about it.

	Good Find Webb! Theres some great songs in there but as always a very short list. It seems the only EA game that has a huge selection of songs in there soundtrack is the madden series.

	#15 Well if they aren't athletes than anyone can do it right,why dont you try getting in the car and see how well you hold out. You might as well throw your statement in with every sports title.

	an athlete is a person who actually moves, lifts weights, jumps, dangles, and most importantly: moves while playing their sport... wait a tic... car racing isn't a sport, it's a bloody passtime ruining our environment(yes, im gonna go hippie bull**** on you) and then(yes, the following has happened) say that they have nothing to do with oil depletion! wtf! how can you say that?!?!? you're pointlessly doing laps around a track to prove... that you have a better enging than the guy beside you? What's the point? Racing is, and always will be, better in games (both for you, and for me) than in real life. Wall of text, and rant... over

	to #17 NASCAR uses about 6200 gallons of fuel in a race (43 cars * 18 gallon fuel cell * 8 tanks per race on average). The U.S. alone sued around 700,000 gallons A DAY. Keep the hippie garbage out. Game looks decent, probably gonna wait a bit on it though.

	Wow, Rednecks? Left Turns? Jug Music? Any other cliche that you want to throw in about the sport? These are the same comments that you'll see in reviews year after year, and people think it's funny. But, really, it's not. It's pretty ignorant. "an athlete is a person who actually moves, lifts weights, jumps, dangles, and most importantly: moves while playing their sport...". So, driving 600 miles in a stock car, with temperatures higher than any baseball player/football player will face in any given game isn't endurance? And, these guys can lose their lives with one wrong move? These guys are probably athletes. It's entertaining as to how many people bash the game and the sport, but, will be playing it on day one for achievements. Carry on... :)

	I feel so disgraced by most of you in here. I visit this site religiously every morning when I wake up and once before I go to bed to look for news. And now, to check this news on a game about a sport that I personally love to death, and watch the majority of you bash it like you do, I just can't help to ask myself, "Why?" Why bother posting at all? I understand having your own opinions and everything, but if it's an opinion that comes out of spite and it intended to just get a rise, it's probably better left unsaid. All of your negative claims are completely biased (i.e., fuel consumption, "redneck" fans, untalented athletes). Sorry x360a for some of your "loyal" visitors. Consider this their apology on my part.

	Theory of a Deadman and a Payable on Death song I have never heard. If I played this, I would not use their soundtrack for the possiblity of two good songs...

	Lol, i agree with comment 3... But yeah, ive only ever heard of AFI on this list... and i don't particularly like them... so this game is even more of a miss for me.

	number 22 and 23 comments... you may love your sport, you may put in my face that one wrong move will constitute death for the racers, and the extreme heat. However, people can die from one wrong move anywhere, does this make one an athlete... i could stick a fork in an outlet, or a toaster in water and die... that's one wrong move, but does that make me an athlete? As for extreme heat, try playing basketball at 65 celsius(no clue in farenheit) on a blacktop, running for about 2 hours straight (and i'm 6'5", 240lbs, non athletic build). Just try, tell me that it doesn't require some form of extreme endurance.

	Inside of a Nascar Car can get as hot as a 150 Fahrenheit or even higher fyi The dictionary states a Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. It also states an Athlete is someone who participates in a sport. Nascar sounds like a sport to me and drivers also sound like athletes to me too.
