That was a Pleuger Porter truck with some sort of made up livery.

Are you talking about the truck that Travis P. is driving?

It is not wearing the Monster colors, but it is in that video. (White green and blue Hummer)

Yea, I believe Travis Pastrana is driving it in the game...and he is NOT sponsored by Monster...but by Red Bull. It's too bad, because Pastrana would be a great person for Robby to team up with...he has some skills and can also bring in a bunch of money.

The deal is that in this game there is the original car and then other versions of the same car just with different liveries. I am willing to bet that the original monster version is in the game, it was not shown there.

If you haven't seen the new preview for Garnd Turismo 5 check it out....they've added Nascar and the graphics are better than anything ever made before....

after looking at the video in slow motion it appears only a few cars are in the game: Dale Earnhardt Jr #88, Jeff Gordon #24, Tony Stewart #14, Jimmie Johnson #48, Denny Hamlin #11 and Michael Waltrip #55...several other cars have the same, number & sponsors as above but different color schemes.

If EA Sports doesn't renew their agreement then you could see a new company take over for creating a Nascar game. This graphics on this one are so realistic it's sick!

EA did not renew, Sony bought the rights hence Nascar in Gran Turismo 5.

iRacing.com also has the rights to NASCAR...and is a pretty amazing online sim racing experience.

Also, graphics are one thing but realism during gameplay is quite another. The GT series has been the benchmark for video games, but Im going to guess the Nascar mode will still lag behind the tried and true NR2003 by Papyrus. Regardless, I look forward to seeing what the the boys at Polyphony digital can do.
