Gameplay

Up to four players play a virtual pinball simulation with a NASCAR theme.

Players can play a full season of races as Dale Earnhardt, Bobby Labonte, Terry Labonte or Bill Elliott. Play begins with a mini game in which the player can improve their car for the race. This is followed by a qualifying lap which determines the players starting position in the race. [4] When the race begins, players have up to five balls or until a timer ends to finish the race. Missing too many targets will force the player to play a pit stop mini game, which can repair their vehicle for the rest of the race. The player finishing position in each race is tracked across an entire NASCAR season.

Reception

Game reviews were generally positive with the average rating over 60%. [5] The game

did receive a nomination from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences for "PC Family Title of the Year" at the 2nd Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. [10]
