1.1 - Just seems odd...
Just seems weird that they'd not add it in, even as an unlockable or something.

Yeah it really does seem like a lost opportunity for a great tie-in, doesn't it?

2.2 - Reason Why
Call me whatever for knowing this, but Greg Biffle wasn't sponsored by the Nintendo Wii this year. That pic and sponsorship was from 2007. I wouldn't be surprised if the mystery driver was either a legendary driver like Richard Petty or a fictional driver put into that paint scheme and sponsorship but with a different number.

3 - I can understand the box art
But not even as a driver? That just doesn't make sense to me. Then again, a lot of licensing things don't make sense to me, like the NFL's exclusivity with the Madden series. That just drives me nuts.

5.1 - Even though i'm a fan
I've honestly hated EA Sports for making a NASCAR game to be rehashed over a span of 4 years. That's why a game like NASCAR Racing 2003 Season still has a lot of online leagues and running strong even after 6 years of being released. I just want someone else to make it and EA to stop making it or forced to do it well.
