NASCAR 2001 will outshine competitors with its brand-new gaming engine. This engine will be the basis for enhanced graphics, car physics, and a competitive AI. Also, there is another addition to NASCAR 2001 which I am sure that racing fans have been waiting for. For the first time ever, Daytona, the center of the racing universe, will be included in the roster of tracks. Gamers will be able to make Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Terry Labonte taste their coolant in the Daytona 500.

NASCAR 2001 will provide several gaming modes. The quick race mode will let you jump right into the action. However, the season mode in any EA Sports game is where the action is. Full season and half season are basic, however, "track pack" seasons will allow you to acquire a degree of racing specialization. Custom season, road course challenge, super speedway shootout, and short track challenge will all have gamers gunning it on courses of their choice.
