Oh wow, I totally forgot about that game. I was not very good at it, but eventually I figured out that I could drive the car in reverse and because there was no hitbox on the bumper, the racetrack's wall just kind of guided me along while I accelerated to maximum speed. Fun memory
Haha, yes, backwards was the best way to play Nascar!
I remember being absolutely blown away that the game kept track of tire rubber on the track, and you could see your own spinouts and stuff on the next lap.
