    Even without any type of career mode, you are getting one of the most thorough and in-depth sports titles for the PC. The hardcore NASCAR fan that has the computer power to get the most out of this title will be in seventh heaven.

    Like "Quake," it’s not just a game that you get better at the more you play it – it's a game that gets better for you as you learn to understand the intricacies.

    It has a narrow niche and it fits it well – better than any racing game I’ve ever seen. I did notice some jerkiness on my older system that just barely meets the requirements, but other than that, the game ran well.

    This year's model leaves you feeling like it's nothing more than one big, full-priced retail patch. [May 2003, p.98]

Extremely modable and even without mods the game is fantastic. So much so that it is still widely used in 2023 20 years after it's release.
