Activision and Eutechnyx continue to deliver fresh “NASCAR The Game: Inside Line” challenges via DLC, this week taking virtual drivers back to the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway.

Using the actual telemetry data from last weekend’s race, gamers will have the opportunity to relive four of the biggest highlights from the event.

Here’s what’s in store for gamers who download the pack when it goes live later this week:

Highlight 1: Not Breaking Brad
Type: Relive
Who: Brad Keselowski
Description: Jimmie Johnson has spun out and hit Kyle Busch. Can you keep Brad's ride in one piece as you dodge the wrecking cars on Lap 327?

Highlight 2: Green-White-Checker
Type: Relive
Who: Kevin Harvick
Description: After taking fresh tires for the green-white-checker finish, Kevin Harvick restarted on the inside in seventh place. Take advantage of the grip and go for the win.

Highlight 3: Target Acquired

Description: Kurt Busch and Juan Pablo Montoya are battling hard for second place. Can you relive history by crossing the line coming into Lap 171 in second place?

Highlight 4: Holding the Lead
Type: Relive

Description: Montoya had a strong race at Richmond and looked at one point like he would take his first Sprint Cup oval victory. Relive the restart on Lap 350 and hold the lead over five laps.
Ever since he first handed the ball to Bo Jackson in "Tecmo Bowl," Jon Robinson has been mesmerized by the world of sports video games. He's been covering the gaming beat professionally for over 15 years, starting his career writing as "Johnny Ballgame" for GamePro magazine before becoming the founding editor of IGN Sports. Robinson co-wrote the book "The Madden Phenomenon," and his two latest works, "Rumble Road" and "WWE My Favorite Match," were released by Simon & Schuster in July 2010 and July 2012.
