It\u2019s just pretty cool to see.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s one thing to see kids at the racetrack and stuff, but to hear from the kids outside of that playing as me in a video game is pretty cool,\u201d McDermand said. \u201cI\u2019ve actually gotten a lot of feedback and comments from various fans and just friends and their kids sending me pictures and stuff of my car on a videogame. It\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d<\/p>\n New for the 2024 edition of the game is the addition of Winged Micro Sprints, as seen in the weekly program of the birthplace of the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series \u2014 Millbridge Speedway. Several present-day open-wheel stars began their careers in Micro Sprints as kids, racing both on the real track and in the virtual world, which will continue to draw in new racers into 2025 and beyond.<\/p>\n \u201cChances are, if a kid likes to play a certain type of car on a video game, they\u2019re gonna be able to make that connection when they go to the racetrack,\u201d McDermand said. \u201cThat\u2019s the same thing that they can do with drivers themselves, and that\u2019s how you build fans and build and fanbase.<\/p>\n \u201cJust being able to connect more people to our sport in whatever way possible is something that\u2019s super important to be able to continue the sport that we all love.\u201d<\/p>\n Both the Midgets and Millbridge Speedway are available for download today with all of the other car types, tracks and new features \u2014 including Outlaw Challenge mode, improved graphics, streamlined career mode, variable track conditions and more.<\/p>\n
