The game that started an obsession for a sport that has led to a career in it. Thank you “Santa” for dropping off this off at my house on Christmas 1998 🇺🇸🏁
I remember playing this and the other 2 of EA Sports' original NASCAR Trilogy, '98 and 2000 for my Playstation back in the very early 2000s. And I remember how this and Papyrus' NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition were competing head to head. Yesterday I even bought some 90's NASCAR diecasts! Gotta love the censoring out Rusty Wallace's Miller Lite logos lol. The 90s was my favorite era of NASCAR, especially 95-99, with the supersmooth-bodied cars!
Liked the quotes from BP like "If he doesn't watch out, he is going to lose a tire". He also would say "This track's got the best food" at every track lol
I am more nostalgic for Nascar 98 and Nascar 99 because i grew up playing them. I do have Nascar Thunder 2004 and 2003 just haven’t play them in a while
So much nostalgia! My friends and brother damn near wore out our copies of this game and NASCAR ‘98! I even had a steering wheel controller! NASCAR was so much better and more exciting back then! I was obsessed with the sport and my favorite driver was Jeff Gordon. Watched all the races on TV and even attended 2 in person. RIP Bob Jenkins and Benny Parsons!
@8kloostb Yeah that was at Charlotte Coca-Cola 600. It figured out when exactly to switch the sky textures so it would seem like you were racin' all day even if you had it on the shortest race setting. Was like this for NASCAR 2000 too. I mean all the stuff they're capable of now, and I haven't seen day-night effects in that race since.
I learned how to count from this intro, but never realized how many numbers were missing in the middle. Took me years to realize 81 didnt come right before 90 and 99.
Slll the best intro in any Nascar game, although I always find it funny that they use footage of Dale winning the 1998 Daytona 500, since the track, due to licensed reasons (specifically due to the Daytona USA game), couldn't be in a Nascar game until Nascar Thunder 2002.
@malcolmyoungi No kidding. I was just listening to Thorogood on my iPod and Gear Jammer came up. I sat there thinking, I know that song from somewhere...
I loved and still do love NASCAR 99, particularly as I remember sitting on my grandpas lap watching him play till he gave me a turn 😊 I never got to see this intro, as we had the Nintendo 64 version of the game, but it is still cool nevertheless
This was me n my dads favorite game to play together of all time and always will i was 6 and we played day in day out and also he was a truck driver nicked named gear jammer lol but on those days dad was gone worken id hit that power button on the ps1 moma sure hated it hahaha gear jammer
there is a intro of Ea sports that goes something like: i get nou doubt. or like, lets all get down?? it was on the ps1 on the intro of a Fifa game around 2000-2002, can anyone please tell me how the song is called?

Thank you “Santa” for dropping off this off at my house on Christmas 1998 🇺🇸🏁
I remember first getting this game then always wanting to play it after watching a race lol
Best damn intro. If that doesn't get you fired up not sure what will
0:55--Dale Earnhardt Sr. carving out the number 3 on the infield after winning the Daytona 500!!!

The first video game I ever remember playing 20 years ago and the intro is still awesome!!!
I cant stop watching this masterpiece of a intro
I declare Nascar 98 and Nascar 99 the best games of NASCAR
NASCAR Thunder 2004 and NR2003 would like have a word on you
I am more nostalgic for Nascar 98 and Nascar 99 because i grew up playing them. I do have Nascar Thunder 2004 and 2003 just haven’t play them in a while
From New Zealand and loved this game. My dad and I always did full laps in full championship mode good old days
This is back when every game had an intro and they were actually GOOD.
Nostalgia I was playing this at like 4 or 5 years old on a 10 + year old ps1
ahh memories of being 6 and playing this with my dad and my brothers. i still have the game too, and the playstation.
Man this takes me back to some good memories :-)
Ah good old days with nostalgia
Goddamn what a nostalgia blast ,shit was my childhood and the intro still holds up today
George Thorogood - Gear Jammer
Best intro to a nascar game in history hands down.
So much nostalgia! My friends and brother damn near wore out our copies of this game and NASCAR ‘98! I even had a steering wheel controller! NASCAR was so much better and more exciting back then!

dang, this intro brings me back to my childhood lol.

jesus this brings back the good memories.
Holy mother of nostalgia this hits hard
I knew the intro sounded like George Thorogood!
YESSIR!!!!
I got it by a coincidence when I was 2 years old.
Since that day I loved Nascar.
Still
Aaaah, these were the days.
I learned how to count from this intro, but never realized how many numbers were missing in the middle. Took me years to realize 81 didnt come right before 90 and 99.
0:10 Dale Earnhardt 4/29/1951 - 2/18/2001 R.I.P.
EA Sports it's in the game
That track map at the very beginning is Charlotte!
Slll the best intro in any Nascar game, although I always find it funny that they use footage of Dale winning the 1998 Daytona 500, since the track, due to licensed reasons (specifically due to the Daytona USA game), couldn't be in a Nascar game until Nascar Thunder 2002.
Wrong. It's in nascar 2000 and 01
LOVED THIS GAME AT 8 YEARS OLD!!!!!!
Best song what a great song
Gear jammer george thorogood
It sure ain’t what it used to be!! I miss the old school nascar !
This and 98 made me love rock music
ahh, memories. sittin at home on a snowdy playin it with my dad and bros, good times.
the golden era of the first games
The nostalgia!
One of my favorite games. EA sure made good games during that time. I can't beleve EA now. (Spore is an exception, however.)
omg nostalgic to the bone :D
All of the nascar games are supposed to be advanced , yet this has the best intro. And here I thought algebra was confusing
Cool.
@malcolmyoungi
No kidding. I was just listening to Thorogood on my iPod and Gear Jammer came up. I sat there thinking, I know that song from somewhere...
My dad bought me a steering wheel controller for this game and I tried to use it on an nfl game
Kodiak3 LOL
@TheSpongeHasArrived surprisingly well actually
Surprisingly well actually!
90s rockabilly 2000s rock 2007 emo 2011 to 2020 country rock

Ahh the Nostalgia
I loved and still do love NASCAR 99, particularly as I remember sitting on my grandpas lap watching him play till he gave me a turn 😊 I never got to see this intro, as we had the Nintendo 64 version of the game, but it is still cool nevertheless
I had totally forgotten this one. 98 for me was more memorable.
Played the shit out of this game growing up kinda cut my racing game teeth with Nascar 99. Shame all the drivers in this game are dead or retired now.
This was me n my dads favorite game to play together of all time and always will i was 6 and we played day in day out and also he was a truck driver nicked named gear jammer lol but on those days dad was gone worken id hit that power button on the ps1 moma sure hated it hahaha gear jammer
George Thorogood and the destroyers. But I don't know the title of the song.
Friedchicken80 9 years late here, but it’s Gear Jammer lol
Nascar games were better back then then today and real racing too is different today then back then
I had it on n64 so i remember bp goin WHHOoo . Woow. Man o man. Lol. T
there is a intro of Ea sports that goes something like: i get nou doubt.

it was on the ps1 on the intro of a Fifa game around 2000-2002, can anyone please tell me how the song is called?
:39 not even a neck brace in sight

0:21 They misspelled Talladega
This was my favorite game when I was little

i sometimes hated the intros because they take so long and all they do is show you stuff you cant even do in the game

I wish this song is NASCAR theme
This was the first ever video game I've ever played. I still have it. I still play it. Boatloads of fun but I still suck. I'm better at 2004.
