NASCAR Thunder 2004 Shenanigans

  • NASCAR Thunder 2004 from EA Sports is without a doubt one of the greatest NASCAR games ever made. I could even make a case for it being one of the best racing games ever made. This game released for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Xbox, and the PC. Because I owned a Nintendo GameCube growing up, my first ever experience with the game was in 2017 when I finally went and bought a used copy for the PS2. Needless to say, my praise of this game is not distorted by nostalgia. I have never actually gone and done a full playthrough of the career mode in this game, and I fully intend on documenting my experience in an upcoming mini-series. However, that's not what we're here for today. Because this game rightfully punishes a player for driving terribly, today's video will be spent on getting out all the frustrations I have towards the AI cars before I begin career mode. Not to mention that I have the opportunity to highlight all the cool novelty features this game has, including numerous fantasy tracks, the option to drive the pace car, and this game also features what is possibly the hardest lightning challenge ever. All of which will be covered in today's video.

      Just made it to the end of the video and I’d just like to add, I’ll continue supporting and viewing this channel no matter what games or content you upload, always do and create what makes you happy, and never keep yourself locked in a box when it comes to content creation, the best way to create a genuine following no matter how big or small is making videos on what you truly love and find interest in. That being said, keep up the great work!! Always love the videos man

    Half the time with these games, it’s just me either racing seriously or just trashing the car and wrecking the field.
    Just last year when playing this, I wanted to see if the spoiler could fly off of the car if you trash it enough and I managed to do it.
