  • Summary: Race Against Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Dale Jarrett, and more in the 2002 Season! Get behind the wheel of a 750 horsepower stock car and battle for the championship on real-life tracks. Get under the hood to fine-tune your car or just jump in and race against the best in Arcade Mode. Feel car vibrations, hear the roar of the engines, and sweat it out racing fender to fender at 180 miles per hour. [Sierra] Expand

  1. Where Gran Turismo is probably a little more graphically rich (mostly because of all the diverse locations), it's the actual racing experience that makes NASCAR 2002 Season a better game. Each race has its own story.
  2. If it is your desire to experience a complete, polished and awesome racecar simulator, or if you want to enjoy a simulation of a real life racing series and you want the best, you must own NASCAR Racing 2002 Season.
  3. Its depth and attention to detail simply is unrivalled compared to what arcade racers considered 'realistic' beforehand.
  4. A definite must for racing fans who don't have the similar "NASCAR 4" and for hardcore gamers who want the latest tracks and don't care about the price tag.

    I'm running Nascar 2002 on an IBM NetVista with a AMD Athlon processor with 384 MB of RAM. The game freezes up and so far, Sierra has not been able to identify, much less fix, the problem. It even freezes up when I just watch "Driving Lessons", which means I'm not pushing the system at all. Have you had any other complaints of this type? And if so, do you know of a fix? Expand

    I have an ASUS board, 1800+ AMD, 512DDR, 128DDR Geforce 4, and an Audigy to boot... The game won't even start! No help from Sierra... If AMD is crap, why is the TRUE gaming world switching to it? Expand
