    If you bought "Dirt to Daytona" instead of "Thunder", take it to your backyard and bury it in the dirt!

    This game is awesome. I pick my favorite driver (kurt busch), the best looking paint scheme(the red one), and the track(daytona...duh) simple as that.

    The create a driver mode is well executed, and is yet another way in which you can expand the replay value. The best NASCAR game available on the PS2, and one of the best racing games overall.
