Each driver gets his own set of attributes that will dictate how well he handles certain aspects of a race. While some dudes may not have the chops to hang with the big kids, you can build their skills up so they can tackle even the toughest racers. The most exciting thing about this skill-building system is that it happens dynamically during the race, so if you start out with a busted chump, clean racing will cause his racing prowess to grow, giving you better handling and speedier acceleration. If, however, you like to trade paint and do most of it with the wall, you'll lose those precious skill points and find your car difficult to handle.
You won't have to wait too terribly long to tear up the track as NASCAR 07 should collide with store shelves in early September, so you'd best start sewing patches onto your jacket now.
