The popularity of NASCAR racing has mushroomed - it's now rivaled only by the NFL - and this game's powerful combination of sleek graphics, detailed features and fender-crumpling action will satisfy any serious race fan. With Formula 1 Championship Edition and CART World Series on the horizon, this fall's going to be a fine season for sport racing, but the competition's going to have to record some outstanding lap times to keep pace with NASCAR '98.

The gameplay is challenging and at the same time entertaining. It is fun to bump Dale Jarrett or race past Mark Martin. You really don't have to be a NASCAR fan to enjoy the game. One word of caution, though: the music is serious Southern rock and be prepared for the likes of Molly Hatchett's "Flirting with Disaster." Let's face it, NASCAR is big time in the South, so the music is a good fit. This game is good enough that National Sports talk god Jim Rome might even give it some props. Right... Neckcar 98! Out!

If you're sick of the unrealistic play style of games like Grand Tour Racing and Test Drive 4, NASCAR 98 offers a refreshing break from the normal city racing game. In fact, as far as racing games go, I can't imagine a better reality-based racing title. Give or take a few flaws, this might just be the best real-life racing game this year.
