Turn 10 Studios released an expanion pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on Xbox One on Tuesday that introduces the NASCAR license to the video game racing franchise for the first time. NASCAR games in recent years have been poor-to-mediocre stand-alone retail products but with the expansion it'll be joining a game that received a score of 5/5 in the Sporting News review.
This represents the first appearance for NASCAR on the new generation of consoles. The expansion is being sold for $20 and includes a new 10-hour career mode experience, 24 cars from the 2016 season, and a new track with Homestead-Miami Speedway.

"How would American stock cars fare against Australian V8s at Bathurst, or against WEC prototypes at Le Mans? With the NASCAR World Tour career, players will be able to live these fantasies and answer those questions for themselves, competing in unique events across the cosmopolitan lineup of tracks and circuits in Forza Motorsport 6. Whether battling it out against GT and endurance racers from the world’s top motorsports leagues, sharing the track with open wheelers from IndyCar and Formula E, or testing the limits on classic American ovals like Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Daytona International Speedway, this is NASCAR like you’ve never experienced it before."
