You should buy it, because I play it every day and I enjoy it!!! It has 4 Nascar divisons, and you can even flip your car over. You can race every Nascar division and become the car owner. You get a lot of money and you race good to earn the money( for example: wins, top 5's, and top 10's)!!! You can't get anything 38th or worse ;or you'll get fired. I loved "Chase For The Cup" mode. You get to be with real race teams!!! You can also help fellow team mates as well. You even build your own car. This is way better than 02', 03', 04', and 05'!!! In season mode, you get to play in the Busch Cup, Nextel Cup, Craftsman Truck, and even Whelen(Featherlite) cars. In, "Fight To The Top" mode you start off with $6,600 and with Th Whelen #19 car, but here's the bad part The #19 car is completely red. Then next, is the Craftsman Truck series, you get to make your own car and buy a team, but it costs only $ 2 million or higher to buy a team. After, trucks comes the Busch Grand National series, it costs about $3.4 million to $ 8.7 million to run a team. Then is
the Nextel cup series, and you also get to run a car. The prices are very expensive $8.8 million to about $20 million.

Just Buy The Game Nascar Fans!!!

I love Nascar racing, but what this game really lacked. Race wheel capability that would have been great. But, the game is loads of fun and still has a high resale value IMO. I would not get rid of this game (if you still have it). I recommend this game for those who are new or has basic knowledge of Nascar racing. You can get a good feel on how things go in this game.

It's been a few years since I've owned a NASCAR game but in wanting to try something new (i.e. not a 1st person shooter) I gave it a shot.

All-in-all a fun game. The steering is difficult and you really have to practice to get the car set-up correct on each track. In other words practice makes perfect. The online racing is also a good touch and an easy way to test your skills (and find out you're not all that good).

Only issue would be the lack of racing your customized car online and the fact that online racing can still only have 4 real users (albeit you can race against 32 ai cars at the same time).

If you're a Nascar fan...and you know that RUBBIN' IS RACING...then give it a shot!
