Wallace will drive the #23 Hills Bros. Coffee car, replacing Hut Stricklin. He signed a 2-year deal with the team.

From the story: "On Tuesday afternoon, Wallace was named to replace Hut Stricklin as the driver of the No. 23 Hills Bros Coffee Dodge for the remainder of the 2002 campaign, beginning with this weekend's Mountain Dew Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway."

At $0.47M for TSN, he's a great option. He filled in nicely for Steve Park last season and should be able to have marginal success in the 23 car. Given his price tag, I'll be finding a way to add him to my team next week.

Price info is off a little there KKB. He price is now $.80M with last night's gain of $330K. Added him to 2 of 3 teams, but he only offset losses from other drivers.

Man, TSN really is not paying attention to their NASCAR game. This is just stupid.

Price Movers still show last week. Buy/Sell Drivers still shows last week's prices. Even the Drivers pages still show last week's prices! The only way to see the true price is to click through to the drivers Price History page.

Erik B. said in the TSN: State of the State thread, "Some of our games have been poorly produced. I list golf as an example. It’s not that we don’t want the game to work – but, for whatever reason, the game hasn’t run smoothly. Ever. So, too, with our NASCAR game."

Maybe it would run smoothly if there was at least one person paying attention to the game. Just one.

All I have to say is thanks KKK for the great Pick'ems game. Your game has a larger active staff than TSN's racing game :)

I wonder, is this how it's gonna be with TSN's free games? Totally neglected? Maybe it's better if they get rid of the free games entirely.

I don't play it, but I've heard that TSN golf is shabblly treated too.

KKK? ;)

Fatal Image, As far as the Golf game, Erik B. admitted as much in the "State of the State" thread. I even offered the same advice with regards to just dumping the free games if they're going to be run like this in my post to that thread.
