Dale Earnhardt Jr. chosen as NASCAR The Game: Inside Line cover driver

NASCAR fans have spoken, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. narrowly defeated Kasey Kahne in the final round of voting in the "Drive for the Cover" campaign. Earnhardt, nine-time most popular driver, will adorn the cover of the upcoming NASCAR The Game: Inside Line video game, scheduled to be released on Nov. 6.

"We are excited for Dale Earnhardt Jr. to be featured on the cover of the new NASCAR The Game: Inside Line" said Blake Davidson, vice president of licensing & consumer products at NASCAR. "For a campaign that was driven entirely through social media, the more than 775,000 votes cast in the "Drive for the Cover" campaign is a testament to the impact that the NASCAR industry and its fans have across these platforms."
