Simulating to 2002 in NASCAR Thunder 2000 

The top 5 drivers in a No Bull race had special red numbers on the roof for the next No Bull race. If one of those 5 won the next No Bull race they won a million bucks and so did a fan.

The Mike Skinner Linsanity run will never be forgotten.

38:44 the true ending. Earnhardt finished 5th and carried on with his life.

2:17 REDEMPTION FOR JOHNNY

We're *one* race in & I already love it. 😀

When Whatif simmed it on his stream, Bobby Labonte was op and won like every single race

Definitely want to see more, the anticipation for a simulated championship battle was wild

Robby Gordon didn't retire, he just went back to open wheel You know something about Andy Kirby? He was actually a part time Busch Series driver in the early 2000s until he was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2002

74 lead changes at Martinsville holy!

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: NASCAR Busts

2000 and only CBS, TBS Superstation, TNN, ABC, and ESPN were televising. And only one on NBC at homestead.

I miss Dale Earnhardt

44:19 Bobby Hamilton won that race in the 55 car in real life.

simulating in this game in general is just dumb fun lol adding the 2000 mod to it just makes it even more whacky and i love that

The simulation engine in this game is wacky as hell and I love it

dunno who theyre thinkin are rookies. iirc Chad Little's first full time season was in 1991.

11:38 cages were rattled!

In this mod, Bobby Labonte gets like 28 top 5s and 13 wins in a season when you simulate. He’s way too OP lol

Looks like jeff Gordon finished 9th in 2000 with 3 wins on the season so not much different than what the game did 2 wins and 11th in points

Love sims hope more on the way

It’s funny because in the base game, Bobby Labonte wasn’t that OP. I guess they somehow messed with the driver ratings to make it similar to how 2000 really went

Just meant to rattle his cage (at martinsville)

It kinda seems like the simulation results were a bit similar to how the actual 2000 season went lol

Assuming the gaming set up is the same as the base game, if Dale Earnhardt Sr. wins an 8th title in career mode he'll automatically retire... & when Dale does retire 8th title or not, I *really* hope it's Andy Houston who takes his ride. They to an extent are related, so it works... Plus it'd be extremely funny to me.

Wasn’t Jr a rookie in 2000? He should have been in the ROTY battle…

JGR has jet fuel in them cars

Wild that Mike Skinner goes off, but Mark Martin can’t win

They need to somehow find a way mess with the driver ratings and make Bobby Labonte not as OP to give a bit more parity

Wow in this reality I bet Skinner doesn't slink off to the trucks to beat up on children and Todd Bodine.

Seems like the simulation in this is more interesting than the base game

Nice Mario Kart soundtrack

Ward better win the 500😃

lol Dale Jr sucked in this
