NASCAR VIDEO GAMES EVOLUTION [1984 - 2023] 

The Kurt Busch radioactive caught me off guard 💀

NASCAR racing 1994 and its crash physics ahead of time....so many memories!

Remember my brother and I had a blast on Nascar thunder 2003 back when we were super young, spent years playing that. Really what got us into Nascar and racing games as a whole

‘94 was my first nascar game. Amazing how far they have come!!!

20 years has gone since nascar racing 2003 was launched, and today is still the best nascar experience.

0:14 what in the world is going on there LMAO

NASCAR 2003 for the PC was and is still the best NASCAR experience. I used to race in a league and it was a blast. Good times!!

NASCAR Thunder 2002 was my first NASCAR game. The ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ intro. The tribute to #3. Still gives me goose bumps.

Nascar Thunder was awesome. Was my first meet to nascar here in Mexico

NASCAR 99 on original PlayStation was the first video game that was gifted to me as a 5-6 year old. It blew my mind.

For fans of racing and Nascar, here is the evolution of Nascar games since 1984. What is your favorite game? If you know of other Nascar games not on this list, please list them in comments.

Crazy that we’ve come full circle and we’re back to the 1984 games

For some reason I cannot watch a nascar race for longer than 5 minutes without falling asleep but I love me some realistic nascar games and the tactics involved

1991 Bill Elliotts challenge sounds like a phone is ringing

NASCAR 94 is a certified hood classic

The Papyrus series is clearly ahead (imho of course) even today. But there are also kids who like to play arcade games and want fast action without wanting to know anything about driving physics, fuel consumption, etc. and prefer to see the whole car. I've never been interested in that. I need simulation feat. cockpit view 😉 So NR2003 is also the last really usable Nascar which I still play a lot today.

Everyone always misses nascar road racing. A very obscure niche game that I loved as a kid.

I'd love a Nascar Rumble remaster with multiplayer support. I played that game so much when I was a kid.

Cuando era niño llegaba de la escuela y jugaba un NASCAR pero no sabía cuál era yo era malo para el inglés.. quisiera recordar cuál era para volverlo a jugar, lo jugaba en eso del 2011 en el juego habían muchas pistas algunas habían precipicios, bosques, curvas en zigzag, despavimentados y también habían poderes.. recuerdo que podías lanzar un tornado y lanzaba a todos a volar

Gran Turismo needs to bring that back!

I wish NASCAR would come back to Gran Turismo

ESPN Speedworld on SNES was my favorite. Also enjoyed Mario Andretti racing on Sega Genesis too

WOW! The effort put into the making of this video was impressive. GOOD JOB. Thank you for the timeline and fun viewing experience.

Que incrível coleção cronológica! Tenho o NASCAR RACING 1 da PAPYRUS pra PC com embalagem e tudo aqui até hoje!

Finally a video that includes the 2 best NASCAR games... 14 and unleashed

NASCAR 2000 and NASCAR Heat for the PlayStation are childhood classics. I still have my original copies of both games.

Damn! I forgot how rough 90’s gaming was!

I played the crap out of 1994 Papyrus NASCAR racing, NASCAR Thunder 2004 and NR2K3

Nascar Racing 2 is IMO the best Nascar game ever made. The tire wear physics were really cool.

NASCAR Cup Series is the top-level series of professional stock car racing! 🏎️ 🏁

The project cars one in Monaco LOL

The soundclip for Days of Thunder lol

I love the audio you used for Days of Thunder! XD :P :D :) ^_^

13 minutes of pure enjoyment. What I value most in a racing experience is the amount of cars in the race. As a kid I played the Papyrus NASCAR PCs games more than I can remember. I would create the drivers and paint every single car. NASCAR Rumble is a great idea and a lot of fun but the downside is only 6 cars max per race. Imagine that game with a 16+ car count per race with "mayhem" level power ups. Dirt to Daytona is great with 43 cars per race but as a short track racer I only race Bristol or Martinsville. There is '06 Team Control which has the two fantasy tracks UPS Speedway and Dodge Stadium but the game play feels stale and the computer cars have almost no character. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. Sprint Cars: Road to Knoxville and Saturday Night Speedway for the PS2 do it for me. 2 player action with 16 cars and the opponents have personality and make mistakes. My thoughts at the moment.... thanks the video was great. edit... there are also a few great Dirt Track PC games also. Dirt Track racing 1 and 2 and World of Outlaws Sprint Cars. I have probably spent weeks of my lifetime playing those as well as Saturday Night Speedway. I prefer asphalt racing over dirt however the dirt games are action packed in comparison and you never know what to expect each race. Sometimes the opponents are too aggressive or just loose control and wreck half of the field, cars are rolling and bouncing everywhere and you try your best to make it through the accident. I am yet to play a NASCAR racing game that gets everything right. Either there are not enough cars, the controls are too stiff, opponents are mindless NPCs, lack of short tracks. There is one for the PS2 called SHORT TRACK RACING: TRADING PAINT which is a mess but worth trying except even on the hardest difficulty is too easy. Destruction Derby 1 and 2 are great but VERY FRUSTRATING at times and also very rewarding, constantly tugging on your emotions at both ends. Enough typing, time to go play a racing game...🏁🏁🏁

Última vez que joguei Daytona USA foi num fliperama que tinha antes no Shopping Tijuca, Zona norte do Rio de Janeiro. Mas nunca esquecerei a vez que completei uma corrida nesse jogo, mesmo que seja no Beginner. Foi em Curitiba, no Shopping Palladium(viajei até Curitiba) e terminei, se não me engano, em 18º lugar. Aaaaah, as memórias…

Even the ones from 90’s are still more enjoyable than Ignition

I think 2022 World of Outlaws deserved a spot, in place of Wreckfest. The latter is mostly destruction derby, while Outlaws features stock cars + late models, and is a series where a lot of Nascar drivers start out. Plus its one of the best, most realistic racing games in years. Very tough AI from iRacing.

Excellent video ! 🎮😊🏁

Around less than 2 years ago, i got NR2003, never regretted it

Daytona USA...legend🙏🏻

EA Sports NASCAR series is the best selling racing games of all time!

0:21 DID YOU USE KYLE'S AUDIO FROM THAT ONE RACE???

NASCAR 98 and 99 were so fun!

Most of these look really fun!

The hardest part of NASCAR Racing 2 was figuring out how to get the game running with MS-Dos

Shame they went with exclusive licensing deals after the early 2000's, sports games in general went this route and the drop in quality with no competition is quite apparent.

The first one caught me off-guard

Some of them graphics had no right to be that clean in the early days😮 Also, this devolved into "I keep fucking up in all the NASCAR games" towards the end😂

NASCAR 98/99 was my childhood! So miss that game and soundtrack!

it's funny some of these you can see the infamous d pad tap lol

Lol at all the pile ups he causes 😭😭 😂

nostalgic, NASCAR RACING 2 is my first racing game i played, i was 3 years old that time. i really love that game, love using the Tide livery Nascar. ❤❤

NASCAR racing 4 from papyrus was the greatest nascar racing game ever. I didn’t see it on the list?

Woah no one even mentioned Nascar Arcade before you and that is pretty cool

NASCAR 06: Total Team Control was the best!

Wreckfest wasn't actually a NASCAR game, but damn was it fun!!

HOLY SHIT 1990 so many f bombs! cursing games evolution needs to be a thing

2005: Chase for the cup. Unrivaled. still the best NASCAR game Ive played.

Kurt Busch radioactive😂😂😂

MS-DOS looks incredible for the time!

EA sports nascar racing was my first and I found that fun. The problem I had with it most was fighting the wheel.

I remember when Daytona USA came out at the arcade that was a fucking amazing game I hate to think how much time and money I spent playing that game

I wouldn’t really call wreckfest a nascar game unless you race on the oval circuits.

The resolutions are a bit low. NASCAR Heat had a much better image than what appears in the video, I think so did some others. It doesn't do that image justice when compared to newer games. For users with poor PC, NASCAR Heat is a perfectly playable and enjoyable game today. Regards!!!

Nascar Racing 2003 is still the best particularly with the mods available now.

nascar 1994, rac network q british rally and a sid meier civ gane on pc was my childhood from 1994 -1997. memories came flooding back

Use to dominate on the Daytona USA. Arcade. Could drift the car with the manual

Wow, the 94 MS-DOS was a true game changer

0:12 Did they really have F bombs in a Nintendo game? 😆🤯

There was a game for the PC called "Stunts" that was fun to play and you could make your own tracks!

Man the nascar racing series games looked great.

Bill Elliot’s NASCAR Fast Tracks is better than ‘21:Ignition

Nascar rumble...best arcade i ever played..never become another rumble of that series..

No kidding 1999 was Nascar's peak for Nascar games

Its crazy how far video games came from

Loved those old Papyrus NASCAR games. Wish they would take over the series again in whatever form they are now

N2K3 still holds up after all these years.

Wow. That leap from 1991 MS-DOS to 1994.

NASCAR Heat 4 and 5 are also available for Xbox 1... Just so you know

Nascar Racing 2002 was my first! Can't believe its been that long

Wait, Nintendo allowed "Days of Thunder" on NES, with all the f-bombs?

Nascar 98, memories playing with my dad

Dirt to Daytona, Thunder 2003, and NASCAR 06/07 were the best

Nascar Rumble is awesome. So much fun

My favorite NASCAR games are 98, 99, and 06: Total Team Control, although I find the third harder now.

Wreckfest isn't nascar game...

I remember when I was Young I would watch Compilations of one of these Games. It was fun to watch at the time as a Fan of Cars (also Cars 2006) back when I was Young it made me want em. But I didn’t have an Xbox or the Console or anything they used so I never got my chance. But I feel now that I have the chance to find the Game and how I remember it looked and actually play it and such.

I also love Daytona USA edition

You did miss NASCAR Road Racing in this one I think, from 1999.

Days of Thunder was the only game to this day that I believe you could do the pit stops manually

Nascar Racing 99 is Released for the N64 App in 1998 and for The SegaSaturn.

NASCAR dirt to Daytona is one of my favorite racing games

NASCAR rumble was the goat

Holy.......how archaic. You all must still watch nascar....koodos

Jess Harnell who does the voices as impersonate NASCAR drivers in EA Sports' NASCAR Rumble(2000)!

Damn. Days of thunder was lit 😂

Put Fantasy Lightning McQueen no. 95, Fantasy Strip Weathers no. 43, Fantasy Chick Hicks no. 86, Fantasy Doc (The Fabulous Hudson Hornet no. 51) models from Cars Xbox 360 video game and Fantasy Junior Moon, Fantasy Louise Nash and Fantasy River Scott models from Cars 3: Driven To Win in a video game series of NASCAR right away please? I want to see it on a 100% longplay video.

i was surprised to see wreckfest in here! also, i kinda wish we got some better footage from iracing, but that’s basically all that happens because lots of people on that service are idiots

4:53 - NASCAR Thunder 2002; My favorite “NEW MILLENNIUM” nascar game But the original “NASCAR RACING” in 1994 is still my favorite “ALL TIME FAVORITE”

Inside line nascar 2013,14 and 15 were the best racing games for me
