NASCAR Thunder returns to PlayStation with all 23 authentic Winston Cup venues and 11 new fantasy tracks. The Career mode features a redesigned interface as players strive to develop relationships with sponsors, crews, and research teams during a span of 20 years. Aggressive drivers will no longer be tolerated in the game, with computer opponents aiming for retaliation if players cut them off or brush against them during the heat of the race. The consequences of wrecks are also more apparent in this version, as errant cars flip, ricochet, and bounce back into the field of play before bursting into flames.

Features:
Make smart business decisions to build a dynasty over the course of a 20-year racing career
Includes mini-games designed to test your skills in passing, blocking, drafting, and speed
Relive 40 of NASCAR's finest moments in the game's "Lightning Challenge" mode, hosted by Michael Waltrip
