Faster Taladega speeds
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Enter the game directory and find the "tracks/taladega/taladega.txt" file. Use a text editor to edit this file. Locate the line that starts with "SPDWY" and change the first number from "1" to "0". Speeds over 230 miles an hour may now be obtained.
Faster pace car
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Enter the game directory and find the file that corresponds to a track, such as "/nascar2/tracks/bristol/bristol.txt". You can edit the speed of the pace car by locating the line that begis with "PACEA". Change the last two numbers in the speed (it can have more than two digits) that you want to be the pace speed. Because the pace car is slow at accelerating, it will most likely not reach anything extreme but it still exceeds its normal speeds by far.
Gain laps
Note: Disable car damage in the game options. Intentionally crash into another car to get a yellow flag. Remain at full speed and pass as many cars as possible, and ignore the yellow flag warnings. Pull into the pits when the black flag appears for passing under the yellow. Your car should retain its lead after coming out of the pits.
No caution laps
Press [Esc] to quit the race when the yellow caution flag is out. Answer "Yes" to save the game. Re-load the game and resume the race. The flag will be green after one lap. Note: This will not work during the pace lap.
Decals on painted car
If you want to paint a car and you want it to have decals, right click the stamp at the top. You can select your driver's sponsor or a car number.
Hints
Always finish in first place
Turn your car around and ram the other cars until there are no more remaining. Then, turn the other way and to get an easy first place finish.
In championship or quick race mode, get the best qualifying time, then select "Next Session" until the race shows up. Hold [Up] and press [Enter] and it will change to "Race Over". You will have gotten first place when you check the stats on that race. Note: You will not receive any bonus points for winning when using this trick in championship mode.
