Jimmie Johnson’s Anything with an Engine is a racing game designed by the greatest NASCAR star of our generation. A no-holds-barred, combat-racing extravaganza, it is rooted in the experience of Jimmie Johnson’s childhood, growing up putting engines on barstools and other household items, then racing them against friends. In time, this became a life philosophy for Jimmie – “I’ll race anything with an engine.” Now fans of all ages will be put behind the wheel of these…ah, shall we say, “custom vehicles,” in the most original racing game in years.

Lead-footed bathers, dumpster divers, lawn-mowers, coffin-bound corpses and many more will have the chance to scrap their way toward glory, as players engage in elimination-style circuits across uniquely stylized tracks strewn with themed hazards, traps and awesome jumps in a humor-packed race to the finish line.

If rubbing is racing, then what do you call getting hit in the face with a bag of trash as you’re passed by a dumpster doing 120 miles an hour?  We call it Jimmie Johnson’s Anything with an Engine.

"There's no denying that video games are certainly one of the most popular forms of entertainment," said Jimmie Johnson, who is embarking on his first foray into game development. "There are certainly a lot of entertaining racing games, but I've always felt there was something missing. I wanted to capture that kind of 'anything goes' element in racing and make a unique game that appeals to everyone. The teams at Autumn Games and Isopod Laps are incredibly talented, which gives us the opportunity to develop what I hope is a truly ground-breaking series."

"With the help of NASCAR superstar Jimmie Johnson, we set out to create an innovative and fun racing experience - unlike anything in the gaming market today," said Jason Donnell, president and COO, Autumn Games. "Jimmie's vision in creating this game aligns with our goal of bringing new and exciting experiences to gamers of all ages."
