Because old games were a way to get kids and young fans engaged and interested in NASCAR. By making detailed and quality games, fans would keep playing and coming back. Now they're just a way to make money, they're more interested in that actually making a good product
At the beginning, before you can start upgrading the car, you can play with the rear gear. Adjust it, and run practice laps until you get it perfect. Setting it so that you're reaching redline at the end of the straightaway does wonders!
I don't know if you noticed this Cosey but there are money multipliers depending on where on the car you put the sponsors, it shows it in the bottom left box and above the location on the car that the sponsor placement is. I'm so excited for this playthrough, this was my NASCAR Thunder 2004 this is what I played all of the time, it's gonna be a lot of fun, you're gonna love the Featherlite series.
Not many people know this, but the Dodge Vipers that Ryan Newman and future NASCAR legend SomeTing "Chunk" Wong drove in a 2004 exhibition street race in NYC, were actually purchased from Dick Piston Dodge of China. However, 2 years earlier in 2002, the 9/11 attacks had ravaged the car market, causing Piston to skim $800 from a children's hospital donation jar in the lobby of his ailing dealership amd purchase his first strictly stock race car to begin a legendary career to help save his business.
The only trick I remember from playing this game, is that weaving on your warm-up lap gets the tires up to temperature (green on the gauge) faster and will give you more grip in the corners on your hotlap. Obviously tho that might not be necessary for a couple races lol
omg. you are so funny. i just started playing this sporadically a few months ago so i came here looking for upgrade advice. i stumbled on this channel you are already my favorite guy on the internet.
My god. I never knew this game existed and it looks like this could be an absolute banger of a series. Hell of a 1st episode for sure: First time on dirt was a little rough, Follow that up by making the A Main race with a photo finish win, hats off heading to the checkerd flag on that one and to top it off, already getting some sponsors. I hope this is one series that goes all the way and I'm hyped to see what's next for the next series that could take over where Heat 5 leaves off

Monster Games made this and Test Drive Eve of Destruction. Eve of Destruction is also a great game with a fun career mode I recommend anyone reading this to check out. It's not nascar but it is some great demo derby action
I JUST started my own series in this game last month & a 20 year anniversary of Thunder 02. Does not feel like 20 years since these games dropped. But damn they are a blast! Can’t wait to see what u do in the series!
1 thing people say when they bring up why they LOVE Dirt to Daytona is you can apperently actually pull off bump n runs and wreck people and just do shit to the ai un like in other nascar games.
Just to let you know when you’re in the replays at the end of the race you can change to the other drivers if I remember right with the directional keys
Awww man love this game! The true Nascar Heat 2. One of the best career modes ever cause you can run a true part time schedule and the stats show it. And also your name shouldve been Bill Byron lol
I don't understand why modern nascar games don't dive as deep as this did into career mode.

Yep it’s the key to having the fastest car
Perfect timing because of the Bristol dirt race
I do highly doubt it was intentional
@@goodsmoke8613 yeah probably a coincidence

I am glad to sponsor the back bumper of your race car this season

Before we know it, China Texas will have Dick Piston billboards everywhere and I’ll be the first to show Cosey😂 it’s a 26 mile drive for me

This is still my favorite nascar game, Thunder 2004 was better but i loved being able to drive all the different classes.
Then you'd probably like Nascar 2005
@@normalguy88 Game was good overall but i hated that one touch of the apron and you'd go spinning.
@@normalguy88 the other major flaw in 05 was no yellow flags in the modifieds.
My top 5 NASCAR games:
5. NASCAR Thunder 2003

3. NASCAR 2005: Chase For The Cup
2. NASCAR: Dirt To Daytona

@RacingGamerJosh I first played thunder 2003 (and that was my start of me being a nascar fan)
Holy shit this is gonna be a fucking amazing series!!!!
This game is such a great game. Holds up nearly 20 years later.
This is the perfect series. Makes me want to dust off the Ps2 . Could watch one of these every day
Let's hope we can survive for a full career this time 😂

You can switch to different cars in the replay with square and circle to see the crashes better
Monster Games made this and Test Drive Eve of Destruction. Eve of Destruction is also a great game with a fun career mode I recommend anyone reading this to check out. It's not nascar but it is some great demo derby action

This was the 1st Nascar game my brothers and I played I am feeling nostalgic.
2 years later and havnt missed a episode of this
THE SOUNDTRACK OF THIS GAME WAS PERFECT
Too bad there's only one song in the game.
HOLY FUCK IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS!!!!!! YAY
You can pick which car you're viewing in the replay.
I'm locked into this one. Can't wait man.
I love your classic nascar game career modes! Dope af
You can only move up to a higher series if you win a championship. When you do the AI cars in the lower series max out their cars.
I love the car design so much that I decided to use the same one :)
Never played or seen gamplay was waiting for windvow to play it lol
1 thing people say when they bring up why they LOVE Dirt to Daytona is you can apperently actually pull off bump n runs and wreck people and just do shit to the ai un like in other nascar games.
Ah yes, because bump n runs are only possible in Dirt to Daytona.
OMG!!! ITS HAPPENING!!
New to the channel, have you ever played World of Outlaw Sprint Car game from 2002. Great game but only dirt.
I remember my mom buying this game for my pops for his birthday when it came out Good times! Hope for a long and Dope series
Hell yeah windvow!! Keep this series coming
Awesome glad to see this game little trick keep fourth gear as an overdrive but mainly trying to use third through the turns
Just to let you know when you’re in the replays at the end of the race you can change to the other drivers if I remember right with the directional keys
Awww man love this game! The true Nascar Heat 2. One of the best career modes ever cause you can run a true part time schedule and the stats show it. And also your name shouldve been Bill Byron lol
One of my all time favorites. So happy for this career mode
My question is why they didn't include Busch drivers?
This is most entertaining shit I've watched in awhile! Gonna be a GOAT series
I put a lot of hours into this game. This brings back some cool memories!
I hope it'll be more gameplays of this game. Windvow is so funny.
😂😂😂I've been playing my own career mode again and had the EXACT feelings when driving again. Salute to Dick Piston!
You can change cars during the replays.
Anyone else notice that the FMV with Allen Bestwick says "NASCAR Heat 2"?
I think this game was originally going to be called NASCAR Heat 2, but it got changed to Dirt To Daytona at the last minute.
PogChamp WE GOIN DIRT RACIN BOYS
