A unique attempt at a NASCAR racing simulator for the NES, complete with a pit crew and names from the movie Days of Thunder. The racing operates at a very low frame rate, even for an NES game, and the controls are just barely passable. The pit stops become puzzle sequences of how to move around your crew so they don't block each other and you'll often lose races as a result of going slightly too fast into the pit area and not stopping as a result or because your pit crew gets in each others way.

It's playable but not very fun, on a platform woefully inadequate for a racing simulator.
