'So there is a lot of pressure on this thing, but I can tell you one thing, it will not be cheesy.'Īccording to Lohnes, for his part, he's already done an estimated 3,000 lines of voiceover, which will make the game similar to the Madden NFL series in terms of realism. What's the Funny Car going to look like? What's the pro's car going to look like?' People that want to play this game, I've been stopped in the pits a hundred times already walking in and out of here about, 'When's it coming out? What's it going to look like? I saw the teaser that went up. 'I think that's, to us, I think that's one of the most important things has been knowing the expectations of fans have a very high. 'There is, and this game will not be cheesy,' Lohnes explained. Lohnes understands there's a fine line between being cheesy and badass. 'It's funny because I think because of the fact that I don't necessarily live as a gamer per se, some people are really hardcore about it, I think it's good to be able to balance what we need to have in the game and what we want to have in the game and what the fans expect us to have in the game, and it's cool.' 'I will definitely be playing this if for no other reason than it's dominated a large portion of my life for a long time,' Lohnes admitted. Lohnes said his status is subject to change once he's allowed to take the game for a test run. 'I like video games, but I wouldn't call myself a gamer per se, but I do like video games,' Lohnes said. Lohnes has been working on the voiceover aspect of the yet unnamed video game. One person, who knows more about the game than he's allowed to tell, is NHRA's FoxSports announcer Brian Lohnes. Since the pandemic hit in early 2020, NHRA has been working with video game developers to create a game that genuinely extols the virtues of the straight-line sport.Ī lot of the details on the upcoming game remain hush-hush, but what has leaked out, one can assume strategically, is it should be available in time for the Countdown.

The NHRA stands poised to make a run at a demographic they haven't held firmly since the late 1960s, and to do so, they plan on playing games, literally.
