On PlayStation 4, Slade Gravitt was the first driver selected by Wood Brothers Racing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a NASCAR fan since I was four years old and started playing NASCAR games four years ago,\u201d Gravitt told eNASCAR.com<\/a>. \u201cGetting the online experience with NASCAR games has been awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
