Dirt to DAYTONA also features Single Races, Season Championships, Beat the Heat, and Pro Trainer modes for all 4 authentic NASCAR racing series. [Infogrames]

GamePro
Compared to D2D, "Thunder's" cars don't handle as smoothly and its Career mode is heavy on complexity and short on fun. [Dec 2002, p.194]

Cheat Code Central
I'm sold - give this game the checkered flag.
88
Game Informer
The Caraeer mode's progression of cars (including the Craftsman Truck series) is a brilliant idea that provides a lifetime of racing. [Nov 2002, p.128]
83
IGN
Perhaps the most detailed, heavily modifiable NASCAR game on the market.

GameSpot
A sound NASCAR simulation with one of the most robust career modes of any driving game to date.

G4 TV
The thrill of careening around turns surrounded by dozens of competitors? Check. A great simulation of the long road to victory? Check. Spectacularly destructive wipeouts? Check, just no fire.

PSM Magazine
Substance over style is the philosophy behind this game. [Holiday 2002, p.54]
75
Electronic Gaming Monthly
A huge improvement over last year's "Heat," but still not good enough to quiet EA's "Thunder." [Dec 2002, p.204]

Official U.S. Playstation Magazine
When it comes down to it, all four car types feel floaty - you never really feel attached to the ground. [Dec 2002, p.164]

PSX Nation
In the end yours truly would rather park his limited NASCAR interest in Tiburon’s garage than Monster Games'.
