The only thing I don't care for is the car numbers and it seems like a lo t of the nascar games make you choose a three digit car number these days. This game has it all except nationwide and who really cares about that when you have dirt trucks and modified? Anyways I rate this game an A+ for everything from racing to the graphics. Now your racing with the big boys and kicking butt and taking names. When that happens you move up to the Craftsman Truck series (now camping world)and race you butt off again to land a cup contract.

Next you move up to the Modified series and you race your heart out trying to make a name for yourself so that a truck team owner notices you. You race on the dirt sliding around the tracks and showing your competitors who's boss.

This game brings you back to the true roots of racing and it is how many original Nascar drivers started out. Complete career statistics and season progress can be saved to a memory card accessory.

Over 20 minutes of video footage is included as well as tips from 25 pros in the Pro Trainer mode, where players learn from the experts on how to approach a specific track. The damage model has been enhanced from the previous game, allowing for more realistic tire rubbing, collisions (even 20-car pileups), and sparks while jostling for first place. Thirty-one tracks are included as players prepare to race amidst a full 43-car field. In addition to the Career Mode, players can embark on a Single Race, Season, Beat the Heat, Head-to-Head, and Pro Trainer. The extra money earned from sponsors can be used to upgrade one of 100 different vehicle parts. Winning races not only improves a player's standings but also increases the likelihood of attaining a sponsorship. In total, each career spans four distinct NASCAR leagues, including the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
