- All it takes is someone with passion to inspire others! @ACracing24 has done a lot of work searching through the deep archived internet for old files and lost patches and bringing them all together for us to enjoy. With the help of others like Pavel and great members of the old sim community these lost mods and new creations have been packaged up and hosted at a brand new NASCAR Racing 2 fan site!
Although NASCAR 1 was always my first love, I think N2 and later N1999 improved on it in almost every aspect!
So come with me for a little nostalgia trip and enjoy how sim racing was in the late 1990s!

Awesome!! Thank you for the kind words! I’m still a novice in terms getting these old sims off the ground, so the site will be improving over the next few weeks!
Days of Thunder City Chevy 46, a man of taste and culture.
Shoutout to ACRacing for leading the revival of this classic!
It's only a pure, deep-seated passion, that can produce something like this.
AH YES, I SEE YOU TOO ARE A MAN OF CULTURE AND DOWNLOADED THAT WITHIN AN HOUR OF IT GOING LIVE
Did a LOT of Papyrus's Nascar sims online way back when. Ran a league for awhile too. Great memories, first racing sim I did online.
My buddy and I were inspired by your NASCAR 4 video, so we started an IP career. I have a spreadsheet that simulates qualifying so drivers make and miss races. It's fun as hell. We started in 1990, and we are in 1993. Guys like Richmond, Davey, and Kulwicki are going to stay in the field
Could you made NASCAR 4 work multiplayer?
@@2kignacio2020 I don't think so. We do it over LAN and use an outside points calculator, race points manager
Ghost racers
So you guys sit together with your sim rigs and race against each other?
Man that’s absolutely amazing!
@rolux4853 yeah it's a great time. We could do it over IP remotely but being in the same room is better
i played so much nascar racing 3 when i was a kid, it was alot of fun for the day
I had a Thrustmaster T1 wheel and pedal in the mid 90s racing Papyrus Indycar Racing, and being a NASCAR fan, was thrilled about Papyrus NASCAR racing about a year later. I have 7 or 8 boxed editions of 90s and 2000s NASCAR Racing games. I thought about breaking out an old PC just sitting around for nostalgia sake for a bunch of these old games.
I started out on the original NASCAR Racing and moved up to NR1999 before I ended up using NASCAR Racing 3, and I've been racing that ever since. I started painting cars for the N1 game as well as NR1999 and N3. I ended up painting over 500 cars that still live on in some dusty corner of the web....
Remember driving (or rather goofing around) NASCAR Racing 2 on my friend's computer in the late 90s. I think he had a wheel and pedal set (or at least a controller), but we played with keyboard and often just tried to cause the biggest wreck possible. Oh, simpler times...
This game was WAY WAY ahead of its time but we all know that. Just need to say it again.
This is the type of content I adore - a sim thats nearly as old as I am, kept alive long after the devs moved on, and thriving - this, NR03, RBR, GPL.
Pure unadulterated passion for the sport and the genre - though its strange to think in 15 years people will be making similar videos to this but on contemporary simulators.
Growing up, I played HOURS of NASCAR Racing 2 (and IndyCar Racing II) so I absolutely feel that nostalgia. I never knew about NASCAR 99 being the 'final' version of NASCAR 2! But the thing I did the most in NASCAR 2 was the paint shop (paint booth? whatever they called it). My cousin and I would spend hours not racing the game, but making new skins. And he became a graphic designer, I do graphics in my day-to-day. I think Sim Racing has all of these fun knock-on effects of introducing all sorts of different types of computing things.
Would be neat to do a story line of Ryan Axelson from your IndyCar season streams, makes his Cup Debut racing at the 1994 Brickyard 400 or Daytona 500. Checked out their website and it looks great! Glad N2/N99 is getting some love! I still have my original CD-ROM disc for N2.
ACRacing has some really fun videos. Great addition to my normal viewing of GPLaps.
I started a season in NR1999 awhile ago with 100% races for trucks (I upload the videos too). It was a bit of a time commitment so haven't made much progress the past year. Maybe I need to go back and start it up again. Flemington is next on the schedule!
So happy to see my favorite sim racing channel recognizing an up and coming (and ridiculously entertaining) channel. Having Axel Richardson in his races was such a cool easter egg for fans of your careers accross many sims!
So glad to see people playing this again!
If you damaged an AI car that was smoking, instead of pitting and retiring from the race they'd fix the damage and finish the rest of the race with a trail of smoke the whole time lol.
We wish you become full time youtuber to post videos everyday.
Ah yes. Nascar Racing 1999--*looks over at his CD-ROM*. I remember attempting a full, 100% race length at Talladega...only my engine blew in the 2nd half of the race..😭 I have tried to find a way to get it to run in DOSBox in recent years, but have never been able to get the 3D acceleration to work well. I should see if anything's been done to "modernize" it in terms of installation and such.
I still have Nascar 2003 (the final Papyrus one) installed and i'ts still my favorite Nascar game to date.
I love Nascar 2 too, it's quite better than 1...
N2 got me and my brother back into NASCAR and was the first PC game we got into after getting our first computer in 96. Still playing NR 2003 to this day...Would love to see you do a season with N2 or NR 2003 this year! NASCAR Legends would also be amazing, thanks for your great content the past few years!
That wheel rim is pretty awesome, where did you snag that from or what brand is it? I bet I could print an adapter to use that on my T818?
Racing games still need that mirror. It's a step backwards to need either triplehead monitors or radar hud widgets in its stead.
Spotter is actually Ronald Gaines, according to the credits.
Do you ever have tried the Cup90 Mod for AC with 1994 skins😊
Thx for all your Videos
Please do more nr2003 stuff. Some fun combos are road America with the nxs20 mod. Cws15 at mosport. Or rain watkins Glen with 2000s busch north cars
Man, the amount of time I spent downloading NR2 car sets on a dial-up modem. Loved the Busch expansion pack, especially Nashville Fairgrounds, Hickory, IRP, and South Boston.
Loved these games back in the day. Probably loved them a little too much. I remember spending anywhere from 15 to 20 hours a week racing online with people from all over the world. Now I get my online racing kicks in a game called Zwift, but NASCAR 2,3 and 4 will always hold a place in my heart.
crazy seeing this game again. this was the game that put me up on nascar games and sim racing games in general. GP did you also play EA's Nascar SimRacing 2005? that game was actually solid and it would be awesome seeing it in one of your videos as well
imagine being a child in Italy in the early 90s and having a relative bring this game home. I think I loved it even though I knew nothing about American NASCAR. Ricky Rudd, the Labonte brothers, Jeff Gordon...mammamia ❤️
Whoa dude. Taking me back!! I had nascar 98, had an old school wheel set up and all. Seeing all these old cars from my childhood too, awesome. 👏🏽

I've got a few questions:
Are you playing this on physical hardware or DOSbox?
how did you get the 3dfx patch to work?
how did you get your steering wheel to work? (if on dosbox)
This was the first computer game I ever played on our home computer... over 24 years ago.
I stumbled upon ACRacing midway through his NR2 season and I had to go back and watch the whole thing. So damn entertaining.
All totalled, I think I've raced 44 seasons in N2. With the 50th anniversary edition. We did end up getting N99 for the Trucks, but by that time we were already using N3 for regular seasons.
Out of curiosity, was Tim Steele in the #12 in this race?
Cool thing about the 1994 carset, Nascar racing 1 came out as of now nearly 30* years ago. So in a way it being in nr2/99 is essentially a anniversary set!
Edit: forgot it came out 30 years ago
30 years ago.
Just watching the throttle, brakes on Gen 4 cars, it's obvious that NASCAR should've frozen development then. Sure, have one series that allows development, but the best racing will always be Gen 4. Cars are off the ground, horsepower to weight ratio is where it needs to be and the side force is heavily limited.
Sprint car racing figured this out. If you want good racing, stop innovating when it's perfect.
Really funny that I was watching Days Of Thunder, and this and the first game popped in my head. Such awesome childhood memories playing the first two games. Love the fact it's making a comeback 😁❤️👍
5:25 - 1994 - The Last Year I truly “GAVE A DAMN” about nascar
Maybe someday I will “FINALLY” play “ONE OF THESE GAMES” again
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I've been playing NASCAR Racing 2003 Season. The only disappointment so far is no mid-race saves.
Played this tons on my Mac, both at home and at work. This was the sim of the day. It's no wonder it's been rooted inside of me and it's so great to blink and find myself in the future with the kind of rigs and sims at our disposal. This game never gets old. What did get old was playing it with a mouse and keyboard.
its hard to go back to the 2d physics of the old Nascar games, even the AI wasnt that great compaired to NR2k3.
Ok, this is way too much of a coincidence. Pavel shared the Super Hot Pass link in our N3 Facebook group like 2 or 3 days ago. I'm going to need to find me a download.
How did you get the game looking so good and running on a modern pc?
Loved these games back in the day. I was on still on dial up Internet back then, so the cars would fade in n out. Im from the uk so it was strange hours for me racing online after work.
I cant believe this is still around - I used to play this back when it was new.....but I was never that good!🤣
Unfortunately I don't understand how to use vjoy. Any tips? I can't calibrate wheel and pedals in game
This is just what I needed, as a fan of Nascar 2 who nevertheless feels the game could use the "Classic Upgrade" treatment! Thanks for exposing me to it.
Man. Years ago i thought i would never play this old game again and dropped it off with a bunch of old EA sets to goodwill.
Im sure someone in the world is enjoying some nastalgia racing. I wish i still had it. Racing on this old game was a blast. Cars were super loose. And AI was easy to move out the way..lol
This account is so underrated. So entertaining and soothing but also informing every single thought. Learn something new about racing every video. Makes me want to do further research on my own.
Love your work/play I’m about to forget iracing for something better like this. Thanks
i originally thought that the spotter was Ned Jarrett, but found out later that it is Terry Labonte's dad. they sound identical. Ned was excellent as color commentary.
I'm a big fan of AC. I was in his last season series for NR03. He's funny and makes fun content.
Dale smacked the wall lap one and Ernie blew a tire late. Only big challenges Jeff had was from those 2
Also what wheel and petal setup do you have. That big wheel is sweet. Im looking to get back into sim racing.
How is a game from 30 years ago still better than any Nascar game we have gotten since??? Its crazy to me.
or remake this game on nr 2003 but with same graphics and palette colours , a total conversion
I ran a lot of races on T.E.N. on NR2/99season. Wish that was still around!
Cool...When do we get Richie Axleson's '67 season continued???
I used to turn the damage on my car off, then turn around and drive the wrong way until everyone else was wrecked, then I would turn around and go win the race.
Hit the damn pace car.
How did you install it? I am trying to install nascar 2 and nr99 but am having no luck.
damn i remember this game in 1994. it totally blew me away with the crash models.. i could crash all day and it never got boring
if more people wanted to mod this game. watch COT be added for memes
There are some mods for the mirror, to remove the blind spots. You edit the settings numbers, haven't been able to find it.
This was my first ever racing game! So so so good. And it had Trucks!
This brings back some memories. I put soo many hours into this game back in the day. Modded to the shithouse too
excellent video, I for one played a lotta NASCAR 2 back when I got that game in 1996 :) the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s were my favorite era of NASCAR.
Oh boy! Makes we want play some Dirt To Daytona on PS2 somehow.
Don't you mean playing it a lot rather than playing it 'a bunch'?
How do you get it to work with a G29 please? I can't figure it out at all.
i also always viewed NR2 1999 as an expansion pack for people that didnt have a powerful enough computer to play NR3, since both games are based on the 1999 season
Except that the cars and trucks that came with NASCAR 99 were all from 1998. NASCAR 3 had '99 cars.
This must have been an add on. It wasn't in the original
Wait, Ned Jarrett was the spotter? I seem to remember someone other than that being listed in the credits.
Was this one where you could even download skins for the haulers on the infield?
i discovered NASCAR because of this game :) here at Argentina people think that nascar is "easy" (always turn left), i invited anyone to drive around Darlington with 42 cars around you jajaja
I used to have so many add-ons, patches, carsets and tracks for N1/N2/Nr1999 and N3.
But I'd never backed them up between different PC builds 😢
Awesome video ,I love in Indiana and I was there at that race they did litterly a lottery system for getting tickets ,I was at this race and walking down Georgetown road outside the main straight away I bought a small key chain of Jeff Gordon Car and told my girlfriend they were is today's winner and of course he won I love about an hour from the track. My birthday is around or in the Indy 500,
I was brought up loving road racing until I started with iRacing about three years ago. That’s when I started to fall into the deep well of oval racing and I almost exclusively run Gen 4 Cup in iRacing now. I’ve taken to it like a duck to water.
So it’s really cool to see the early days of Papyrus getting a revival, and where it all started for the current direction of iRacing. Seeing NR2 in high resolution really helps you see how the physics work and how the racing plays out, and it feels almost like I’m watching an iRacing Gen 4 Cup race but on a computer that’s 30 years old!
Thanks for sharing this and thanks to ACRacing for putting all the hard work in to keep it alive.
Man I loved these racing sims, I had them all. Indy car and nascar, I had every version and add on packs. Still got the discs and booklets around somewhere too. Downloaded just about everything I could get my hands on. Eventually got the Logitech force feedback wheel and pedals, it was the bomb. Great memories.
I used to love playing this game. Remember doing a 200 lapper once (with a keyboard) and crashing out with 2 to go 😂 - have to try and get this up and running again.
Thanks for the great info about NR2. The '99 expansion was my first NASCAR game played as a kid.
The Papyrus games I think are the gold standard for NASCAR gaming, so I'm always excited to learn about these communities
Wasn't familiar with NR2 running on 3D acceleration! When I saw the graphics, the texture filtering, I could swear it was NASCAR Racing 3 instead (which I love and am still playing, namely some full seasons). Love the choice of wheel as well, and hey, the resurgence of old modding pages is so cool.
In an era where search engines and social media are cluttered with generated content and fake stuff, seeing cool websites with mods, a community interacting and all, is priceless!
NASCAR Racing 2 was my first NASCAR sim ever which I was playing at first with the keyboard and doing some 100% length races.
This game and Nascar 1 got me into cars and kept me in a vicious loop and I love it. as a 12/13 year old to see this and then to see the game manual/instruction booklet that contained ACTUAL nascar information regarding how the cars are setup and such.. it was amazing. I must have read that book twice over to find every bit of advantage from the setup.
I tried my original Copy of NR2 a couple of months ago, but I Had trouble setting up my wheel and pedals. Thx for the tips Jake. Will try vJoy as soon as possible 👍
"Try to stay away from Jimmy Spencer" made me LOL. Wasn't his nickname "Mr. Excitement"? Thanks as always for bringing back the great memories.
Ive been waiting for a 1992 carset for about 28 years now....please please please I hope someone makes it
I dunno about N2, but I have N1 carsets for every year from '89-'04.
I had nascar 2001 as a kid I would love to play it again
Where'd you get the track?
Of all the Papy sims, I spent the most time in NR99, loved it to death. Thanks for the memories and keep them coming!
Thanks for the nostalgia trip! NR2 was my first proper sim and blew my mind back in 1997, it felt so immersive for its time. I've still got the CD and the very detailed manual kicking around in storage somewhere.
Great stuff - I loved these classic NASCAR games back in the day. This might get me to try to load them back up
YESSS My favorite NASCAR Simulator of all time! Thank you for covering this and Thank you so so much ACRacing for archiving this amazing simulation
can you elaborate why n2/n99 feels better than n3?
Car number 46? cit. to day of thunder 😁
I recently tried to replay nr2k3, I gone after the must updated popssible tracks but when I raced then most of then the AI were in a crash fest, bristol for example the cars were wrecking at every 2 laps under green
