Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.
Monster Games have announced SRX: The Game, due for release at the end of this month. Obviously this uses the same engine as the two Tony Stewart titles.

Full press release:
Superstar Racing Experience Takes the Green Flag with a New Racing Game
SRX: The Game Will Launch on Game Consoles and PC May 28th, 2021.NORTHFIELD, Minn., May 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — NASCAR Hall of Famers Tony Stewart and Ray Evernham have partnered with Monster Games to launch a brand new racing video game called SRX: The Game on May 28, 2021. The game will feature the all new Superstar Racing Experience series, which debuts this summer on CBS, and is a collaboration between Tony and Ray, as well as George Pyne and The Montag Group.
SRX: The Game will feature all the thrills and excitement of the real SRX race series, including 16 superstars of motorsports such as Tony Stewart, Helio Castroneves, Bill Elliott, Tony Kanaan, Michael Waltrip, and many others. It’s racing the way it was meant to be, featuring a mix of dirt and asphalt short tracks like Eldora Speedway, Knoxville Raceway, Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway, and several others. In addition to the SRX series, race in Stadium Trucks, 305 Wingless Sprints, and Dirt Late Models on over 50 tracks for non-stop action.
“After our successful partnership with All-American Racing and the Sprint Car game, I was excited to sit down with Monster Games and get to work on this new project” said Tony Stewart, “Between the unique style of racing that SRX is bringing to the table, the mix of dirt and asphalt, and the fact that it’s all old school short tracks, we knew a video game would be a ton of fun for our fans.”
The game will feature a career mode where the goal is to start out as a local dirt track racer and work your way up through the ranks. But, to get to the SRX series, you’ll have to make a name for yourself, and ultimately become a Superstar. Several different modes of play, including Online Multiplayer, Quick Race, and Championship Mode, add to the fun.
“SRX is all about driver talent, and seeing who is the best. It’s that simple. We want to put these guys on some amazing tracks in equal cars, wave the green flag, and then enjoy the show” said Ray Evernham, “I can’t think of a better experience to put into video game form than what we’re trying to do with the real world series. I’m really excited about what we’re building, and can’t wait to show it off to the world.”
