Even those not into NASCAR may have a reason to watch it now; as Mario Kart 8 Speeds onto Charlotte Motor Speedway for NASCAR Racing

Mario Kart 8 themed NASCAR racing on the 24th and 25th of May at the Charlotte Speedway

 

Launching on May 30th, Mario Kart will speed up inside your living rooms’ Wii
U at full throttle, but its a nice time to show it off on another place
according to Gamestop. The new feature in Mario Kart will surely make everyone
lose a grip on gravity, so we may believe that Mario is riding his kart upside
down on the featured ad and its actually the case. This is what Nintendo said
about the matter:
 

On May 24 the worlds of Mario Kart and NASCAR collide when Matt Kenseth
races in the Nationwide Series History 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the
No. 20 GameStop sponsored car featuring Mario Kart 8 graphics. Kenseth’s car
will be outfitted with artwork from the game showing Mario defying gravity and
racing upside-down. A time-lapse video of the car getting wrapped
can be viewed here:

overtake.. … I’m not bitter.. much, but I sure am glad to see the introduction
