Interactive game takes players to pit row
Ingersoll
Rand’s (NYSE: IR), mobile app, Thunder
Gun Pit Crew Titans, is now available in the Windows
Store, giving race fans with a Windows 8 device a taste of pit row.
Named for the Ingersoll Rand Thunder Gun, an impact wrench used by the
top NASCAR pit crews to remove and tighten tire lug nuts, the game puts
players in control of an eight-person pit crew to change tires, operate
the jack, refuel the car and clean the grill. Times are recorded to
determine the fastest pit stops.
“Windows 8 users can now experience the thrill of the pits with this app
from Ingersoll Rand,” said John Richards, senior director of Windows App
Marking for Microsoft Corp. “This is such a fun, interactive way for our
Windows 8 community to utilize the new touch technology and to connect
with Ingersoll Rand.”
The game features paint schemes from the Ingersoll Rand family of brands
– Club
Car golf cars, Ingersoll
Rand air tools and compressors, Schlage
locks, Thermo
King transport refrigeration and Trane
heating and air conditioning.
“We are excited to be able to offer the app to Windows 8 users now,”
said Chad Melton, digital media manager for Ingersoll Rand. “We hope
that Windows 8 users enjoy the fast-paced action of NASCAR at their
fingertips.”
Thunder Gun Pit Crew Titans is also available through iTunes and Google
Play. Join the conversation on the Thunder Gun Pit Crew Titans Facebook and Twitter pages.
