Guitar Hero and NASCAR are about to cross paths with each other.
Chip Ganassi Racing, Activision, and Target jointly announced this morning that the upcoming Guitar Hero: Aerosmith will be prominently fetaured on Dario Franchitti’s No. 40 Dodge on June 29 when the game releases.
“We’re very excited to have Guitar Hero bring together two great American traditions, rock ‘n’ roll Aerosmith style, and NASCAR racing,” said Dusty Welch, head of publishing Activision/RedOctane. “Fans at the event will get a double treat, watching their favorite drivers race and competing for a chance to face off against one of them on Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.”
Comments from Dario Franchitti himself, as well as details on the Target exlcusive Wii bundle of the game can be found below.
“I love video games and actually have versions of Guitar Hero that I play on my bus and at home. To have Target, Activision and Aerosmith on my car for the New Hampshire race is pretty cool,” said Franchitti. “Who doesn’t love Aerosmith’s music? It’s perfect for getting ready for the side-by-side, non-stop action of NASCAR racing.”
In addition, Target also revealed that they’ll have an exclusive bundle for the Wii version of the game, featuring two wireless controllers and a tour book for $149.99.
“The marriage of Nintendo Wii and Guitar Hero makes a lot of sense for the Target guest,” said Steve Eastman, Vice President, Target. “The music of Aerosmith bridges generations, just as the Wii has done. Everyone in the family can share that experience with this bundle.”
