The Nintendo Wii is not exactly known for its awesome selection of racing games... but all that might change--Nintendo announced today they will be sponsoring a real, live NASCAR race car.

Greg Biffle will be the man behind the wheel of the #16 Wii-themed Ford Fusion pictured above.

Reports that the car will be entirely controlled by a Wii-Mote and Nunchuk combination remain unsubstantiated at press time, although experts agree the suggestion is ridiculous. Automotive insiders confirmed, however, that while most NASCAR vehicles are powered by a precise mixture of methanol and ethanol, The Wii Racer will run entirely on adorablness and fanboy enthusiasm.

Look for the Wii-themed car at Watkins Glen International in New York on Sunday August 12th and then again at the Dover International Speedway in Delaware on Sunday September 23rd!

Vroom!
