``Saban Entertainment has envisioned the future of NASCAR racing and is introducing children to it with this new TV series,'' said Tom Dusenberry, president of Hasbro Interactive. ``This property lends itself well to interactive games, because of its fast-paced NASCAR action.''

``Hasbro Interactive has proven itself a leader in the action-adventure interactive landscape -- and has proven itself a terrific ally for Fox Kids/Saban and the NASCAR Racers brand,'' said Elie Dekel, President, Saban Consumer Products. ``This is a great way to extend the Nascar Racers experience.''

Nascar Racers for the Sony PlayStation and PC is based on the animated television series by the same name, which will begin airing weekly on February 5, 2000, on the Fox Kids Network. Featuring high-speed action and cutting edge animation, NASCAR Racers introduces four young heroes for a new generation: Mark ``Charger'' McCutchen, Megan ``Spitfire'' Fassler, Steve ``Flyer'' Sharp and Carlos ``Stunts'' Rey. Utilizing the most realistic and stimulating computer animation available, the futuristic series presents state-of-the-art racing cars that can perform stunts and adapt to the unique style of each individual driver.

The NASCAR Racers interactive games will allow players to participate in the television show's NASCAR Unlimited Racing Division and features three modes of play (Adventure Mode, Single Player Mode and Two Player Challenge Mode), eight of the show's futuristic tracks, and eight different cars (four from each of the two teams featured in the TV series).

Hasbro Interactive plans to release both NASCAR Racers games this fall and will showcase them during American International Fair in New York City on February 13-17, 2000.
