NASCAR 25 Earns Early Praise — and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Deserves Credit

He continued, "Yes I did get a free copy of the game because I gave them permission to use my tweets in it, but I didn’t get paid nor asked to say this. This is my honest review. I’m having fun with it." This reaction from him is one of the earliest positive comments from a trustworthy insider, and it should be helpful for others looking to try their hand at the game.

The Dale Earnhardt Jr. Connect in Gluck’s Review

One notable individual in particular would take great pleasure in Gluck's words and his shoutout to the soundtrack. It is none but the beloved Dale Earnhardt Jr. Junior played a key role in shortlisting the soundtrack associated with the game and, admittedly, spent quite a lot of time on the project.

He said on "Dale Jr. Download" back in August, "This was something I was heavily involved in. The featured song that will be on the game is 'System of a Down.' I actually had to write a letter to their team. They didn't know what the project was or what we were asking them. And why we wanted to use the song. I had to spell it out for them."

He continued to note that there were 27 different artists, through whom they'd tried to represent as many diverse genres as possible. There'd also been a few songs that Junior had wanted to include, but couldn't due to some reasons. One of them was 'Stunting like my Daddy'.

"I always liked soundtracks," he explained. "The reason I got involved in this is because I learned about a lot of music while playing video games. Like, Fight Nights on EA Sports and Madden. I actually have songs in my library on my phone that I learned strictly from games, so."

As more positive reviews continue to pour in for NASCAR 25, the acknowledgment and appreciation that the soundtrack receives keep rising. Junior will be a happy man now that his involvement is getting due rewards.
