Best none EA NASCAR game.

User Rating: 8.5 | NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona PS2
NASCAR Dirt To Daytona is a great and underappreciated racing game. The handling and physics are very realistic. It is so real that when your car spins at Daytona, Talladega, California or Michigan the back end will start to lift into the air which is what really happens in NASCAR racing at high speeds. Career mode is very realistic and you are given a tight budget with very difficult competition. It is so difficult that winning one race a season in any series is worth celebrating. You start in dirt track racing and work your way up to the Modified, Truck and eventually the Cup series. The biggest problem is the serious lack of real drivers. In the Sprint Cup series Jimmie Johnson, Michael Waltrip, Joe Nemecheck, Jimmy Spencer are just a few of the real drivers MIA. This game also lacks some tracks like Indianapolis and Pocono. NASCAR Dirt to Daytona is a very good NASCAR game if you're looking for real car handling and a tough but realistic career mode.
